Here are a few pictures from our April 1911 Remastered Class. 3 students for 4 days learned how to customize and build their own 1911 pistols. We had a great time. We plan to offer another in this fall.

Without the cost of the frame probably in the $500-$650 range with everything.

The new custom frame fit to the pistol was a little pricey. I would have to look back at the invoice for the actual cost of everything.

We now have the refillable needle oiler pens in stock.

I have been a long-time user of Weapon Shield. When customers ask me what CLP to use on the 1911's I build I always recommend Weapons Shield. Sadly, Weapon Shield disappeared for a could of years. At that time when I ran out, I went back to FP-10 (also a George Fennell creation). It became...

There are a number of very good mags on the market. Willson and Chip Mcormick are good mags and seem to run well. However, I only use one in all my custom builds. Tripp Cobra Mags with the hybrid followers. Fit finish and function of the Tripp mags have been the best in my experience.

Video I did just for fun
