THE STANDARDS

Every pistol I craft is equally capable of being both a tool for everyday use as well as an item that provides an elevated pride of ownership. Each example shows a level of functional and cosmetic detailing that is unmatched and listed below are some of the standard features and specifications included in every commissioned build:

  • Completely detail frame and slide

  • Weld frame rails and re-fit frame and slide

  • Beavertail grip safety

  • Hand-filed de-horn

  • Hand-cut checkering front and rear

  • Enhanced user interface and controls

  • Straightened lines

  • Dovetailed and regulated sights

  • Best quality trigger job

  • Detail preparation and finish

  • Match grade barrel

Using these enhancements as a starting point for each custom build the customer is able to use the vast array of available options to configure the pistol for their individual needs. Things like finish options, sight configuration, safety and controls selection, slide top treatments, as well as myriad of cosmetic enhancements are available to insure that every gun I build is perfectly suited to the client. The result is a product that will give the discerning shooter a lifetime of enjoyment and pride of ownership not possible with off the shelf guns.

  • 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.
