With a pending build from steve myself and i saw a couple people talk about starting a mars only thread, here we are. If you have one of steve’s pics post up, with pics and impressions.
Here is a few photos of my Mars Axiom. I love this pistol. I have about 1,000 rounds through it without a problem.

The looks are great, but I think the best part is the reliablity and the fact I know I can depend on it if I need it.

I could not be happier with the work Steve did for me.
After a few trips to the range, a few IPSC matches, and about a thousand rounds since November, I had one malfunction attributed to a faulty magazine. The THUG is not picky about ammo. Rangers, Gold Dots, Winchester WB HP and FMJ, cheap Magtechs, down to my own reloads, all perform without any complications. In terms of accuracy, I can not say enough, other than it most definitely outshoots my abilities. Fit and finish are admirably executed, and exactly as specified. His attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of function and appearance. In short, Steve’s work instills confidence in function, and a pride of ownership.
As mentioned before, I could not be happier. Well, one more from Steve couldn’t hurt. 
This is my 01919 Axiom Steve built for me. Unfortunately I only had it in my hands for two weeks before it had to go back to Steve. It has yet to return, but rest assured Steve is on the case and his follow up service has been very good and I have 100% confidence that my issue will be resolved. I will reserve comment on the issue, until it is resolved. That being said, I love the way the gun feels, and fits in my hand. The MARS golf ball treatment and gold bead front sight are my favorite aspects of the build.
:agree:Beautiful Colt. The simple stuff is always the best!
Thanks Grunt! Steve’s no-nonsense approach regarding his 1911 work is a big part about what led me to him. My original goal was function over form but in the end when my pistol got here, I realized I ended up with a nice combo of both.
Dos, I too have no doubt your Axiom will be fine no matter the concern. Like you’ve said, Steve’s on it and I know he takes these things very seriously. Hope she gets here soon!
This thread is full of win. I am looking forward to working with Steve on a build…
This thread is relevant to my interests…
Yes, you are right. Stuff happens, what matters is how it is delt with. Thus far, Steve has been very good and is keeping me updated as his busy schedule allows. I am cursed when it comes to 1911’s no matter the cost or quality. Can’t wait to have my girl back so I can abuse her :D.
350’s THUG shoots like a dream. Until i got to put some rounds downrange through it, I’ve never been that envious of someone else’s pistol.
Can I play?

David, it was your pics and write-up that not only aided in my decision to have Steve do my build, but also served as “therapy”, as I waited for my THUG. I remember theJanitor sending me the link to your Axiom thread when I was considering a build. I remember my reply to him after seeing your pics was, “Now that’s what I want!”
That night shot is one of my favorites by the way. All great photos!
Thanks.
Glad to know I helped in your decision and that my pics were appreciated. Your THUG is definitely a good combination of form and function. Awesome blaster!!
That night shot is one of my favorites as well and was 100% luck. I have tried to reproduce it, but no luck.
My Axiom is F/S in the handgun section if anyone interested. Hate to see her go but a lot of appreciation for these fine pieces in this thread.
Mine is too. Just got it back from Steve only to have some emergency bills and home repairs spring up and I have no choice :(. The wife if forcing my hand.
Hope things work out for you guys.
Feel for your bro, same boat. Have to pay the lawyer 
Same here guys. I’m sorry to hear of the circumstances at hand.
Thanks bro. Very sad day for me, as this is my baby. I only have it listed on this board because everyone here knows plenty about MARS guns and I hope if finds a great home. I will get another in the future, but obviously family is first. I still have plenty of other guns to tide me over though.
