The Investment

Nothing custom-made should be rushed. Each pistol I craft is a bespoke labor of love requiring a devotion of time exceeding 130 hours per gun. The investment of time and effort to produce only the best possible product comes at a cost and requires that each custom build be priced individually based on the scope of the project. This helps to insure that each pistol receives the detailed attention and compliment of work it needs in order to result in an end product that can only be described as “complete”.

I take a great deal of pride in every pistol that I build with each project being a testament to the way I feel about my craft. It is my pleasure to present my customers with a product that can not only be used on a daily basis and enjoyed for years to come but also passed down to future generations as a representation of the best I have to offer. I appreciate that my clients seek me out not only because of the limited availability of my guns but also because they understand that, in trade for the extra effort and wait required to acquire one of my guns, they will get nothing less than the best I have to offer.

  • 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.
