A True 1911 Specialist Near Chicago
The 1911 is a craftsman's pistol — every part hand-fitted, every surface polished. Most modern gun shops won't touch one beyond a basic cleaning. We've been the Chicagoland destination for serious 1911 work since 2009 — action jobs, beavertail conversions, front-strap checkering, custom barrel fitting, and complete one-off builds.
We work on every major platform: Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Sig, Wilson Combat, Les Baer, Ed Brown, Dan Wesson, and clones. Bring it in or ship it. Local Chicagoland customers usually drive in once for the consultation, then again for pickup.
