Can anyone recommend a 1911 smith without an 8 year wait & trillion dollar price tag? I want work like FS checkering, refinishing, dehorning, & reliability tuning.

I've used him in the past, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Thanks! That looks very good.Originally Posted by JV
I would have expected him to at least remove the machining marks from the work he posts on his gallery. Weird.
We handled the transfer for one of his full custom sp101's. It was a thing of beauty.

Good 1911 smith here.

I've owned one of his custom revolvers, an SP101, and it was flawless. I had him do a ton of work to it, including removing the warning/legal banner from the side of the barrel, and many functional items like fixing endshake, it was perfect.
I've played with one of his 1911s, and it was truly a work of art. If I could afford to have one of his custom 1911s, I'd own one.
JoJo's in Southington, CT (previously known as Josephs in New Britain) has been my go to 1911 shop for over 20 years, and I put their work up against that of any of the top builders.
This is a pair of 10mm pistols they built for me a year or two ago.
Which machining marks were those? Other than the inevitable artifacts inside the ports on that revolver muzzle closeup, I didn't see anything, but this laptop only has a 17" screen.
1911s page, half checkered grips, oval front strap serrations. Third picture from the left. Can't link.
Edit: I am on a 2560x1600 30" monitor and am using full screen to view this, fair warning.
