Hi Pete - Yes I've been fortunate to be able to secure three masterpieces from John Martz; a 16", 9mm Carbine; a 6" 45 ACP; and most recently a '00 2", 9mm Am Eagle (photos). John is in process of making a 7", 357sig on my G Date. For the purists these are made out of total mismatched units, but the end result is stunning. Not only is the workmanship flawless, but they are a kick to shoot.
Nice meeting you in Reno and thanks for the note on grips.
Regards,
Jim
