I have to brag - Gary does some amazing work and the turn around is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!

5 days after he received all my parts:


6 Days after receiving all parts:


7 Days after receiving all parts:


8 Days after receiving all parts:


And 9 days after receiving all my parts he is done!!!!

I assume the CNC rig makes everything pretty quick in terms of the machining.

More smiths need to invest in CNC machines.

That turn around rate is insane, and his guns run.

9 days..vs. 9 months...

yep, my Gans open gun runs and runs. Seen other guns from big name buiders choke. Any jams I have are rare and 99% attributed to shitty ammo (me).

Looks great. Awesome slide lightening!

[TGibe]

That is amazing work in such a short time. Congrats!

[pbosik]

wow, gotta give him props for unique cuts. That looks great,imho

[Wilkenstein]

I will going with Gans when the time comes for an open gun. What finish is that?

[bsdubois00]

It's a matte blued finish

[Chris iliff]

Yep, Gary is da man. I've told people for years and some still want that insane 9 month to a year turnaround other smiths offer, for what?

I just chuckle and shoot my work of art.

[ParaGunner]

Op-I really like the slide lightening, very unique.

Very tidy pistol mate. I hope you guys in the states realise how fortunate you are to have access to so many quality and purpose trained gunsmiths.

[calvinc78]

Love the slide lightening!!! sick gun

[warpspeed]

He does build a very nice looking gun.

Too bad he will not do business with us Californians.

[MrVvrroomm]

Nice rig!

[Alphamikefoxtrot]

Gary does build a great gun. He is also amazingly fast. I'm not sure that even he is fast enough to build guns as fast as Brandon flip flops divisions though.

Keep trying Brandon, I'm sure it was only the guns holding you back the last two-three times that you tried open.

[goose2125]

That is sick man !!!!!

[goose2125]

What kinda price are we lookin at all said and done ?

[donnyglock]

I have had Gary build me 3 open gun short blocks. Always fast and the work is outstanding. He tried to retire once but no one listened and kept sending him parts.

[bsdubois00]

When all is said and done I have about $3,100 in parts, labor, and shipping/insurance.

That being said I used the 10% off Black Friday deal at Brownells and got the barrel off here for a great price.

[bigstick0000]

wow, extremely nice and the price is off the wall. That is definately a work of art.

[carlosa]

So... Sick

I sent Gary a new slide, new barrel, fire control parts, sights, etc. Tslide was in the white, but had teh signt cuts along with front and rear serrations cut from the factory. The gun was delivered to Gary on a Monday Morning and he e-mailed me a picture of it on Thursday. The rebuilt gun was delivered on Friday just before noon. I love the mat-blue finhish he put on the slide, frame and grip safety. I have two other guns I got used that were built by Gary. One is a 6" Limited gun and the other is Shorty .38 Super Open gun.

Forgot to attach photo.

That's not CNC


GANS should be more popular... guns that run and no 6 month wait.

So he churns out work that fast on a regular mill? wtf...amazing. Makes you wonder even more what other builders are doing.

[Shadyscott999]

Those slide cuts are sweet. Congrats!
