1911 CUSTOM PISTOL SERVICES
1911 custom pistols are a specialty in which I take great pride. Custom
1911 work can be performed on your quality base pistol (Colt, Kimber,
Springfield Armory, etc.) or oversize frame (Caspian, Les Baer, STI, Wilson
Combat). Only the highest quality parts are used and precisely fitted.
Services can be performed as listed below or a complete full custom 1911 pistol
can be built that is tailored to meet your needs. All full custom
1911's are quoted in complete detail so you will know exactly what you are
getting. A tremendous amount of effort is directed into handcrafting every
1911 to give you a truly personalized and professionally fitted handgun.

Accuracy
A precision fit match grade barrel and match grade bushing
will give the greatest accuracy improvement in a pistol.
I use methods of fitting I learned from Master Pistolsmiths' Jack
Weigand and Jim Stroh using precision measuring instruments in conjunction
with machine work and final hand fitting. |

Safeties
Beavertail grip safeties are precision fitted and blended into the frame
giving a very comfortable grip that fits well in the hand. Springfield Armory frames
(and some Caspian frames) require a
.220 radius (Smith & Alexander or Wilson Combat) grip safety for best
fit due to the Springfield tang configuration. |

All checkering/serrating is performed entirely by hand.
