The one you have always wanted, lusted over, would beg, borrow or steal for?

For me, it's a Colt Python. Actually, there's probably several lol.

Beretta 92. Grew up seeing them in movies like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon and I've wanted one ever since.

Volkmann 1911. Luke is one of the best smiths out there and his guns are 100% individually assembled by him. Only thing he doesn't do himself is case hardening (he gets Doug Turnbull to do it, who is the best there is at case hardening). Lead times are only at a year right now. I will have him build me one at some point. He's also the only guy I've seen that can do a bobbed frame + magwell together, and he's the only guy I've seen that builds to half-a-thousandth specs

sadly, the only people I have met know who what Volkmann is are KR and Beau from Bowie (who worked with Luke when he lived in Colorado)

Mine will look like this.



Example of gripwell. he completely reshapes the magwell, rather than just a simple bevel like most places. cant use a standard twopiece magwell so he incorporates the grips, as you can see. looks amazing

the one pictured + gripwell = $5045

quote:

base price is $3795.




Pretty expensive, but worth it. He is literally a 1-man company. If you call the number right now, Luke will answer Everything is built to a .0005" tolerance (most custom shops are within .002-.003)


MOAR




dat frame-to-safety fit tho














This one below is a client-supplied Delta Elite. Kinda looks like KR's







Also does rifles too. Wouldnt mind one of them either
