“Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exists and make it better.If it doesn’t exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough.”
– Sir Henry Royce –
CO-FOUNDER OF ROLLS ROYCE
That quote, the sentiment behind it, and the ambition to create something perfect speaks to me. My goal is to not only strive for excellence at every level but also to continually improve my craft, this is the vision that drives my work. I believe that with every gun I build I have a responsibility to contribute to the tradition of exceptional handcrafted custom guns and the goal of excellence is the guiding light for everything I do. I am not interested, nor have I ever been, in building cookie-cutter guns that all look the same or are a compilation of packaged features that can be described as “good enough”. Instead I have chosen to go a different route and treat each gun I build as the true individual endeavor that it is. This build philosophy ensures that every pistol I craft is not only truly special but also a reflection of the time and efforts I have invested, a hallmark of my craft.

THE STANDARDS
Much of what I do is similar to a fine artist. Instead of painting a picture, my canvas is the 1911 pistol. This canvas requires a standard from which I begin each build. Click to learn more.
