A custom double-stack 1911, chambered in .45 auto, I recently finished building. I didn't make any of the parts from scratch, but everything has been modified and custom fit. The top cuts on the slide were done by me, as well as cuts to the front of the receiver. I didn't keep count, but I probably put 60-80 hours of work into it.
Paint and blueing was also done by me.

I filed the wings of the sight to fit with the slide cut. If you use a 45 degree file you can file the cut so you have to tap the front sight in and it'll stay in place. You can also use a chisel to fold some metal up on the bottom of the cut so you really have to tap the sight in. No need to weld/pin it. Pinning was what the old school GI slides did for the front sight.
