turbocomp38s Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Need a good gunsmith that can build a good 9mm open gun. Any recommendations and their contact info is greatly appreciated. Merry X'mas and Happy New Year to all. DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I'm trying to think of a smith that is near you. I think there is one on this board but the name escapes me. I'll do some looking. If you don't mind shipping just toss a coin there are several other good one on this board. Oh yea you can start here because these guys support the forum.

edwin garcia Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) I advise a smith that has experience with 9 open and is close to you. Otherwise, call Jojo Vidanes-the only smith/shooter who've won top 16 Open Nats in the past few years consistently using 9mm open.

He is miticulous about follow-up and making sure you are happy with your product. Not sure if it matters to you, but he is building guns for plenty of the top shooters.

Action Pistolero Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Try Bob Howard at the Predator Custom Shop in Knoxville, TN. He can be reached by checking out www.predatorcustomshop.com. Their prices are reasonable and wait time is not nearly as long as most others. He built this Action gun for me that was good enough for a 5th place finish at Bianchi. I know he builds 9mm open guns with no problems. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well besides the usual suspects, all which are good (Benn, Dabed, Kodi, Bras etc.) give Matt Mclearn a check on the open gun build. http://www.m2icustomtactical.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Jeff Walle at Specialty Arms in Lavergne is well thought of around your area. In addition to being a master gunsmith he is an USPSA/IPSC shooter with a few TN state championships under his belt, he's a nice guy too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
