1911 Gunsmith Packages

Unlock the full potential of your 1911 with Master Gunworks’ precision‑driven gunsmith packages. Each package is engineered to elevate the performance, reliability, and mechanical integrity of your existing pistol through disciplined, single‑maker craftsmanship.

At Master Gunworks, every 1911 receives the same level of care and attention to detail found in our hand‑built custom pistols. Our packages are structured, transparent, and designed to address the most critical mechanical systems of the platform — without unnecessary cosmetic work or refinishing.

While these packages cover a wide range of performance enhancements, we understand that every 1911 and every owner has unique needs. For that reason, additional mechanical services are available when appropriate.

Whether you’re seeking improved reliability, refined mechanical feel, or enhanced accuracy, your pistol is personally evaluated and upgraded by Jon — a dedicated 1911 maker committed to precision, consistency, and craftsmanship.

Elevate your 1911 with Master Gunworks — where mechanical excellence and artisan craftsmanship converge.

Additional Mechanical Refinements

In addition to the listed operations, every pistol receives a series of supplemental mechanical evaluations, micro‑adjustments, and refinements that are not itemized. These are the subtle, experience‑driven corrections that define single‑maker craftsmanship — the work that cannot be reduced to a checklist. Any additional adjustment required to establish proper timing, reliability, or mechanical integrity is performed as part of the Master Gunworks standard.
