We deal in the finest custom
1911s (and selected BHPs) from the most
talented pistolsmiths in the nation,
including Richard Heinie, Vic Tibbets, and Wayne Novak.
Due to the customer-defined nature of this business, and the
extremely-limited availability of these pistols, we have
made no attempt to catalog specific models.
Instead, we have chosen to showcase a few examples of each
man's work with a series of informal photographs. If
you are interested in
commissioning a pistol from one of these master pistolsmiths, please give us
a call to see how we might be able to help you.
We
also carry a wide selection of limited production custom
models from the very best shops in the country: Ed Brown,
Wilson Combat and Les Baer. Depending upon the specific
model, our standing orders with these shops
may give us the ability to ship your new pistol well inside
of the usual delivery windows. As always, we encourage you
to contact
us directly with your needs.
