I have a question for those of you that have been down this road - Why did you go custom and was it worth it ? I have looked at a couple of custom 1911 makers now and the pricing is substantially higher than say a WC or NH . Example being I can purchase a NH trooper and have it specified out in...

Looking for buying the following custom 1911s: Armand Swenson Jim Hoag Richard Heinie Steve Nastoff Jim Garthwaite Wayne Novak Jim Boland Thanks for considering!

I am so excited to own my first Ted Yost full house custom 1911. This is a NIB my birth year Colt “Pinnacle” Signature build that done by Ted recently. The gun started as a 9mm large letter rollmark Colt and converted with all “Pinnacle” option boxes checked-ball cuts, nitro blued accents, 18K...

Two-tone 1911 has quickly become one of my favorite custom builds. So I continue to expand my custom 1911 collection with this Pistol Dynamics Combat Special Evolution hand built by master gunsmith Paul Liebenberg.

Looking for a parts list for a 1911 build. Thinking I want a full railed, or at least a rail on the pistol. Would like a Bull barrel-brand? Sti or Wilson safeties Flat trigger Nitride or melonite coating. Front and rear serrations Fiber optic front site What else do you recommend. This is...

Hello Addicts, I am relatively new to the world of 1911. So far I own a couple of Baer (one ordered recently), and a NH GRP. I have been itching for a once in a lifetime item for a while, and after spending considerable time thinking about it, I narrowed it down to ACW or NH, with me currently...

Anyone know what happened to Jason and his company? I bought this 1911 from him back in the day that had been reviewed by John Taffin in American Handgunner. At the time Jason told me if I ever decided to part ways with it that he would like it back. That time has come and I can’t find any...

My curiosity has been piqued lately.... I've drooled appropriately over work from Lou Biondo, Stan Chen and others, but I'd love to hear about some experiences with some of the lesser-known heroes... New blood, lower volume builders, or those who simply choose not to widely promote themselves...

Colt 9mm Build 3-6-18 -> Original Build Post Colt - Reid Colt...9mm. -> Pictures SPF Folks, Up for sale is my Reid Custom Colt 1911 Series 80 chambered in 9mm. This has been a boringly reliable and accurate gun. There are small wear marks, and they are visible in the updated pictures...

Sitting here watching the street for that big shiny FedEx truck. For the second time in 20 some years I'm waiting for a package from CT Brian. Just completed a "refresh" on a 1999-2000 build. When I was contemplating a new purchase I decided (instead) to ask Tim go through it and freshen...

Hi, guys. Picked up a wadcutter pistol made by George Madore. All I know about him is that he built NRA Bullseye pistols from a small shop in Pennsylvania. This one is built on a Caspian frame; unknown slide; and Kart barrel. It's quickly become my #1. Supremely accurate and fun to shoot with...

Hey guys, I have a BNIB pistol that I cant seem to get interested in shooting. It is an STI G.I. 1911. I bought it because...well, because it was for sale, I guess. I thought it would be cool to have at least ONE 1911 in A1-style (although its not an authentic reproduction as it has a flared...

I hadn't shot my old custom built 1911 in awhile so hit the range today. Over the years, it was built in 2004, and tens of thousands of rounds the ambi-safeties have loosened up a bit. I switched my grip from riding the safety (I'm right handed) to putting my right thumb on top of my left after...

Hey guys could use some help , looking at two different pistols but looking for anyone out there that might have had work done by either of these two companies or owns a build by one of them , looking at the c&s trident a3 commander and the Novak FBI spec commander . Any recommendations or is...

Around a year ago I (I think) I was able to secure this original Bob Marvel gun... Its posted here, and documented for folks to see... I did a small write up on it, but I wanted to share some updated pictures and thoughts with you all!! After a few weeks of having the grips, I figured it was...

I'm the Cabot and Alchemy sales rep and I'll be at Saddle River Range in HTX this Friday 6/12 and Saturday 6/13 with a bunch of Demo guns for both brands PLUS a couple available ACW's. I know that a lot of you addicts have heard about ACW and Rob's work but don't get a chance to see/hold one...

I went over this morning and spent 90 minutes with the GOAT, talk about easy going, down to earth and just the best guy in the world, Ted is it. I left my unfired 9mm Commander with him and he's shooting for Q1 of 2022 about 18 months which ain't that bad. About 90 days out (that's a year from...
