Gather round, gather round, it's finally finished!!!! Here are a lot of pictures of my Ken Hurst Custom Beretta Sporting Gun.

The pictures don't do it justice. Special thanks to:
1) Ken Hurst for his outstanding work
2) John Gillette for annealing and case coloring
3) Rich Cole for action prep, stocking and barreling

Here are the pics....

A fine looking gun. Congratulations!

There ain't no flies on your photography either. It is really difficult to capture both the color and the engraving.

Hi Doug,

John Gillette uses the bone and charcoal case coloring.

I'm pretty happy with the colors.

Congratulations Josh! That's a fine looking gun indeed, and a superior engraving job by Ken, as always. I love a flowing scroll pattern.

I bought a Cole Custom about two years ago. They are a nice option rather than getting a gun with a standard factory finish.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine!
