Suppressors Looking for a good 1911 smith

[Derrick300]

Looking to suppress my Springfield TRP and I would like to find a good smith to fit the new barrel for me. Any suggestions or first hand experience would be awesome. Just want to send it off and know its going to get done right the 1st time.

Benny Hill @ Triangle Shooting Sports does great work, and provides you with quick, no bullshit, turnaround times.

Honestly i would send it just for a barrel to Springfield custom shop. They do TOP TIER work and have heard nothing but AWESOME reviews on their stuff.

steve morrison or mars armament

steve berryhill

bob rogers

Heirloom is AMAZING but do mostly FULL HOUSE builds

a great website for 1911 smiths is

this should really be a sticky since it gets asked every week or so.

I second this recommendation. Ray did some great work for me when I was stationed out there. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer guy. Here is a link to the thread.

Derrick,
Give snommittj here on the Hide a jingle. He is very very good with 1911's & is in SC. He can handle this & all your other 1911 needs. He does good crisp work & is going to build my final 1911 for me.

Just a caveat to Joe's list...some of these guys only take full custom work and some have years long wait lists...

I have some work done by Marc at Gemini Customs...American Pistolsmith Guild member, does ala cart work and reasonable prices and turnaround.

Also, Ben Simonson of Boresight Solutions (badass Glock at M&P grip reduction and stippling guy) has a 1911 smith working with him now...also had work down by them.

Don Williams at the:

has done work on my guns. His prices on the sight seem fair to me.


Quick turnaround too.
