Parts sales have been discontinued.
Welcome to my website!
I run a one-man gunsmithing shop and build custom handguns one at a time. On my 1911 Gunsmithing page I’ve listed most of the modifications that are made to the 1911 pistol along with the individual prices for those services. I've put together a few packages containing some of the most popular modifications and a replica of the Marine Corps MEU(SOC) 1911. I've designed these packages to include plenty of options to choose from rather than just a standard list of features. The packages also include a labor discount so they cost a little less than all of the work priced separately. If you have questions about parts or services not shown, please feel free to ask about them.
My objective is to provide you with a firearm
that is reliable, accurate and great looking.
Because of my law enforcement background, reliability is my top
priority for any weapon used for duty or self defense. Improvements are
also made to accuracy, ergonomics and appearance but if a pistol can't
function reliably, it doesn't matter how good it looks.
I take great pride in my work and no gun leaves my shop unless
it’s good enough to be my own. If you are not satisfied,
I will do everything I can to make you satisfied.
I have been gunsmithing for over 13 years
and earned a degree in Gunsmithing from Yavapai College in Arizona.
The factory armorer’s courses I have attended include Sig
Sauer, Beretta, Glock and HK. I have also attended numerous other
custom gunsmithing classes and received instruction from some
very talented gunsmiths including Austin Behlert, Hamilton Bowen,
Bill Laughridge and George Wessenger.
I’m a retired police officer from the Los Angeles area with
experience in firearms training, SWAT and Firearms Forensics.
I earned a BS degree in Business Administration from USC in 1982
and am a Life Member of the National Rifle Association.
Thank you for your interest in my services!
