The guy is correct in that I've never seen one like it.
My inexpexperienced amateur opinion is that it is some expensive machining that's not needed. My plain old cheap 1991A1 has never had a stoppage that wasn't magazine induced, including one batch of handloads I messed up the COAL. Also including sub zero temps.
It would be novel on an expensive gun though. As long as it was done right.
Just asking for discussion sake???
1911 modification opinions???

It could be a way for talented smiths to show off their skill on an expensive highly embelished gun. But its invisible well assembled and un-distinguishable unless shot by discriminating hands.
Some people love extra embellishment and machining on these guns and will gladly pay for it. To me its an interesting curiosity.
