Full description and what we offer
Annis Arms is a small, family-run gunsmithing operation focused on quality over volume. They don't cut corners—and they won't cut corners on your guns either.
True color case hardening coming soon—not the chemical shortcut, but actual color case hardening. Dale has the equipment, materials, and experience; just wants to perfect the process before taking outside work.
Engraving services are also in the works, with plans to offer both in-house mechanical engraving and coordination with hand engravers across the industry.
Annis Arms completed the 2023 DSSA "Caesar Rodney 1911" competition-grade pistol and is currently building the 2024 model. They're also publishing technical articles on 1911 diagnostics and function testing using data-logging accelerometers—serious gunsmith-level work.
Operating by appointment only. Limited retail inventory available (ammunition and handguns in stock), but the focus is on custom work. Due to a family health situation, they're limiting new work intake temporarily but continue to retool and develop new offerings.
"I refused to cut corners on my shop as I refuse to cut corners on my guns." — Dale
