I have a couple year old Colt 9mm Combat Commander that I'd like to send out for reliability work, trigger job, magwell bevel, spare extractor fit, and match barrel/bushing fit.
I'd love to have a full custom Heirloom Precision but its not in the budget. I email John Harrison about one of his packages, but he's not taking in guns.
Any recommended 1911 smiths taking work?

My buddy has had a pistol on Bruce's bench for quite a few years. I didn't know he was taking new workOriginally Posted by Sauer Koch
Not positive that he is, but I do remember hearing him say that he was working on them again, just not sure in what capacity; might be worth a shot? Maybe check with the crew over at 1911 Addicts .com, I know Chuck Rogers is a regular there; I'm sure someone could steer you to a qualified smith.

I am very happy with the work Dave Laubert at Defensive Creations did on a S&W revolver for me. I've seen a few of his 1911s and am recommending him based on the combination.

I suggest Evolution Armory. They have lots of experience with Colts, in fact one of the main 'smiths there worked in the Colt Custom Shop.

Another plus one for Laubert. And pus one for Evolution. I've got a .45 colt commander from Evolution/David that is truly exceptional.
Another one you might consider is sending a Colt to Nighthawk custom. I'm sending a Colt Commander 9mm there for a full build. I've got guns from Yost, Williams, Garthwaite, MARS, and others. And I'm really excited about the build I'm having them do on the 9mm Colt. I also think they've got pretty good insight into 9mm builds. It'll also cost me at least a thousand less then some of the other shops.
