The business end of the one piece flanged , cone barrel
This picture shows the perfectly blended rear of the slide and beavertail grip safety. All done by hand.
forgive a 1911 dummy- what’s the benefit of the flange? improved return?
The flange you see is part of the one piece cone barrel we machine for this model. The extra weight up front on the barrel slows down the unlocking off the barrel from the slide, and reduces recoil and muzzle rise.
