Those Wicked Grips speak for themselves! |
||||||||||||||
I will ruffle a few gunsmith’s feathers, but my business has always been oriented to, “What is best for the customer” and “What is the best value for the customer.” We are all on limited budgets, especially today when the pseudo intellectual Washington elite are squeezing every possible dollar from our earnings. Many customers request to have a model 1911 pistol built from scratch using the best components available. They have the belief they will have a better, higher quality pistol in the end for a lot less money. However, that is not always the case. Building a pistol from the ground up is something like attempting to construct an automobile using parts from an auto parts store. A car with a showroom price of $20K will end up costing around $150K or more if you use OEM parts. Starting out with a working car or handgun is always the most economical way to begin your dream project. |
