Default Some 1911 crowning

I decided i wanted to have something a little different on several of my other 1911's. So I have a buddy of mine whos a local builder that wanted to try out a few new things. I gave him a few of the 1911's and let him do some barrel crowning on them for me. They turned out sweet and are still as accurate as they were with the uncrowned barrel. Here are some pics of what they look like after the crowning is done. I think this makes the 1911 just a little bit more sexier. What do u guys think?

I like the looks of it. have you had a chance to shoot them to see if it made any difference in accuracy?

Tasteful custom touches are always good to see.
