I've had this 5 inch carry comp since 1991. To date its by far my favorite handgun, I can still hit things even after long lay-offs from shooting.
58000 rnds later its still going strong, but remembering how fun the full length compguns were back in the early 90s I always wanted one.
My carry comp cost me $1200 back in 1991 Dollars. I thought it might be possible to pull some strings and do an budget full length gun. Maybe $1300 total.
To that end I scored a new Springfield Range officer, (on sale blemished) added and Ed Brown barrel, trigger kit, magwell, and egw comp blank.
Got a buddy of mine to fit the barrel. (he used to be a gunsmith)
I blended the magwell. And talked my brother into doing the machine work on the comp.
Here's the progress on the Comp so far.
