Back in the early 80s the "build your own custom 1911" craze began here in the U.S. A very good friend, and one of the best pistolsmiths that I have ever seen guided me while I built a fully custom 1911 Combat Commander.

It was a beautiful pistol, with the absolute best trigger pull of any pistol I have ever owned, which would number into the hundreds.

The first time that I ever fired a live round out of it. The ejected case
made a straight, direct, and very painfull line drive, into my right eye. That was the only round that I ever fired out of it.

My friend reworked the ejector and guaranteed me that it wouldn't happen again, but I could never bring myself to fire it again. It went away to some unsuspecting soul.
