Both C&S and Novaks do excellent work. My problem with places like this is you really don't know who will be working on your pistol other than it won't be Wayne or Bill. You send your gun in and it is assigned to one of the house 'smiths, personally, I'd rather know exactly who is working on my gun. This is in no way a knock on Novaks, C&S or other shops like this, just my personal preference.
