Volquartzen Custom

Got to see, hold, inspect one today. Looked like the link except I'd swear I remember seeing that the compensator was screwed on and not a single piece.

The trigger was not much different than my MKIII hunter with VQ trigger/sear/hammer. They retained all the MKIII safety features. Gorgeous gun.

They do have some nice custom pistols. I've had some fun with their LLV versions in the past.

The wood grips on this pistol felt great, but made seating the Ruger mag a bit more difficult. Since he had the mag safety, the mag was a bit difficult to get out. The mags needed the first round tip-up for ammo to feed properly. He was shooting Eley Tenex and was having some feed problems. Not sure if it was rifle or pistol ammo.

I doubt I'll ever see one at a price I'd be willing to pay, but it sure was nice.

Those VQ pistols are pretty slick ... but my budget isn't that big

Tenex bullets have a heavy waxy coating which many match pistols can choke on.
