Like many boys of my generation, I fell in love with the "Colt .45 automatic" watching old war movies. There was just something about the look of the 1911 that I found appealing.

When I was older, I learned more about John Browning and his wonderful designs, but the 1911 always remained special.

After buying my first 1911, an Officer's Model, I discovered what many had before me. The "stock" 1911 design had a few things that made it a little less than user friendly. So, after being bitten by the hammer a few times, fumbling with the tiny pad on the thumb safety and slide release, and tiring of trying to use the original sights, I began customizing my 1911 pistol out of my garage.

Now, many years later, I still have a passion for the design. I love building, customizing and repairing Browning's wonderful "Model of 1911".
