The 1911 FC Pistol
A true classic—built exactly the way you want it.
Our 1911 Full Custom (FC) pistols are built one at a time with a focus on precision, reliability, and craftsmanship. We typically start with Caspian frames and slides, giving us a rock-solid foundation to create anything from a refined carry gun to a no-compromise competition pistol.
Every build is tailored to your preferences. No preset packages. No shortcuts. Just a purpose-built 1911 made to your exact specifications.
