It's alive!

I already posted in the "What did you get in the mail" thread, but I wanted to post here because 1) I'm so dang happy and 2) I wanted to shout-out everyone who made this possible.
$L!mBo hooked me with up with the duckslide itself back in 2023. Kit milled the feed and made the aluminum feed cap. oDm did an incredible job not only getting the grips to fit perfectly, but also in helping with a design that looks awesome. BMC isn't on MCB, but he bored the barrels and threaded one for tips. flyweightnate made the phrame and answered a ton of questions to help get the fitment right on the grips. Finally KMDPB anodized it for me.

All these different people were very patient with my regularly changing requests in the search to complete this Holy Grail. Thank you everyone, you made me a very happy fellow.

Great things come to those who are prepared to wait (years)😄
awesome build

[Impactfour]

Thanks for being a part of it! Your patience with getting the specs and design perfect really paid off! I can't overstate how nice the fit and feel is, and personally think you absolutely nailed it with the design of the grooves.

Wow very cool 😎

[Impactfour]

Thanks man, I'm so excited to field it tomorrow!

[Impactfour]

Thanks dude! So many talented individuals contributed to make it come together

❤️ It

[Impactfour]

I told Johnny I already gave it the first idiot mark, so I'll be passing her around at meetups if you wanna give it a whirl!

[NONOBLITUS]

Oh I would love to give it a test drive.

[flyweightnate]

That ano suits it wonderfully. Awesome build!

It was a last minute change after seeing Chaos duckslide on MCB that was reaffirmed when I saw it in in person. The plan went from a pink and green splash to what you see here and I'm really happy with the result.

Glad to have given you the right direction to go in Impactfour 👍

Very nicely done, and yet another awesome anno job from KMDPB🤘

[Impactfour]

Seriously! I'm terrible at visualizing things, so seeing your duckslide in person was so helpful in affirming the plans my wife devised with me for the color scheme. Thanks again!

Killer ano! Nothing like a build finally coming together.

[Impactfour]

Dude patience paid off so well. Ive wanted a duckslide since 08 or so but the timing was always off. I finally got one at the end of 2023 and spent a lot of time initially on small details like getting the slide and body milled and getting the barrels bored and threaded.

By the time those aspects were finalized the phrame was released. Previously my plan was an icd lever off the back, but I'm much happier with the way the phrame looks.

Also the grips, I really can't overstate how much work ODM put into getting these fuckers to nasa specs. We went back and forth with measurements I took, specs from Nate and diagrams from ODM. I'd be impressed if a company got this good of a fit on an off the shelf product.

All that community involvement for one beautiful special shooter. Brings a tear to my eye. 🥹
