I had some time for some more creative, as well as had an order for an old favorite. The black one is a new model with some real flare. I try to bring style to my work, but I had the idea for this one and it worked better than planned! It was my first try at a stitched sight channel. Do you prefer a stitched or molded channel?

Sir, you have taken the avenger to a new level. Very nice. Bruce Nelson, who originated the design as his "Professional" model would be proud. Of course, the style is most commonly known as the Avenger because John Bianchi, supposedly in consultation with the gunwriter Col. Charles Askins, modified the Nelson design and marketed it as the Askins Avenger.

As for the molded versus the sewn-in sight channel, I like both equally, but most often mold in the channel. I have a generously sized dowel taped to my blue gun and have to remove it when doing a sewn-in channel. Both work equally well. I'd have to say the sewn-in channel displays more craftsmanship.

Thank you for sharing.

I don’t know which I prefer, but I do know both of them are beautiful. Nice work!
