Indy574 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Looking for recommendations for a 1911 pistol smith. This would be a ground up build and not a refurbishment. I would like to find one reasonably close as I want to sit down and discuss this project. Let’s keep it within a 4 hour drive of North Central Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I have no idea is Matt is building guns ( he stopped taking orders a while back ) but Cheely Custom Gunworks is inside your circle. Edited August 22, 2021 by warpspeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramnj Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Not sure how far he’s from you but I would use Matt McLearn. He’s in Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy574 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Anyone have experience with Alchemy Custom Weaponry? https://alchemy1911.com/ Also on the fence of a possible 2011 style. Maybe Staccato P, or Triarc?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recommendations would be Dan Heitzenrater at D2 Customs. Don at Venom Customs is also an awesome guy. The pics are of the "Tripple Threat" Dan just built me. 3 top ends on one lower. All 3 run like a top. He is in PA and Don at Venom is in TN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSAF61 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If you are in Indy, Rafferty Custom is in Martinsville. Do a little research on here and you will be able to find some of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
