This is the proper forum to use for troubleshooting, gunsmithing and refinishing questions.
If you have a problem with your pistol, this is the proper forum to ask for help. Before you do post your question though, you may want to have a look in the Gunsmithing Sticky Threads sub-forum, in here. We have collected several interesting articles in there, which can probably answer a lot of your questions. |

Real Custom Pistol Smith
I have certain likes and dislikes in what I want on my 1911's, I don't like what everyone considers the norm.
Are there any really, really, really, custom pistol smiths left out there. The last Custom (a light weight commander in) I had built was done by Dave Pruitt when he owned GunDoc in the Miami area, Dave did 4 for me and I have not found any one to replace him yet. I am looking for someone that will do what I want and not try to push the accepted norms at me. I finally got my hand on a LW Commander in 38 super and now need to find a Gunsmith to entrust it to. I have heard that Dave is Gunsmithing again, if any one can verify this and get me an address I would be deeply indebted to them These are the changes I am looking for. 40 lpi front strap (Normally only done by Ted Yost) I don't need a high cut but will accept it if that is what it takes to get 40 lpi Millett MKII sights a mild melting of all sharp edges including the hammer (I carry inside the belt without a holster, have been for a long time) sometimes I use a clipdraw, sometimes not. a flat MSH checkered 40 lpi 5 lb trigger pull NP3 finish install bushings for thin grips shorten the colt factory steel trigger a little more. I do not want or need a beavertail. I do not want or need a full length guide rod. and I really, really, hate front cocking serrations, one of the worst modifications ever dreamed up . |
