Full description and what we offer

Master Gunworks doesn't mass-produce. Jon handcrafts each 1911 to your exact specs. No two are alike. If you want a custom pistol that runs flawlessly and looks the part, this is where it happens.

Every custom build includes: - Hand-fitted components (sear, hammer, disconnector, trigger) - Polished ignition parts and feed ramps - Barrel fitting and headspace checks - Reliability, timing, and live-fire tests before shipping - Weapon Shield CLP Oiler Pen included

  • The math is simple: Factory 1911s need work. Master Gunworks does that work right the first time, with solid steel parts instead of the cheap stuff.

Take a new Springfield (Prodigy, Garrison, or Ronin) and turn it into a tuned, reliable shooter:

ModelCaliberPriceKey Work

Garrison Remastered9mm/.45$1,649Extreme Service parts, hand fit barrel bushing
Ronin Remastered9mm/.45$1,699Extreme Service internals, Kart barrel available

Each includes ultrasonic cleaning, full inspection, hand-fitting on every critical surface, and live-fire testing.

  • Basic Service ($95) — Annual checkup. Disassembly, ultrasonic clean, inspection, headspace check, reassemble.
  • Reliability Level 1 ($225) — Upgrade springs, tune extractor/ejector, polish ramp, throat barrel, test fire.
  • Reliability Plus Level 2 ($349) — Level 1 + hand-fit new sear, polish ignition components for better trigger feel.
  • Reliability & Accuracy Level 3 ($649) — New hammer, sear, disconnector, trigger, hand-fit barrel bushing. This is where accuracy meets shootability and reliability.
  • Reliability & Accuracy Level 4 ($769) — Level 3 + solid steel firing pin stop and hammer strut, Marvel-style disconnector ramp cut. The top package.
  • Springfield Prodigy Package Level 1 ($525) — Addresses Prodigy factory issues. New steel mainspring housing, polished internals, hand-fitted components.
  • Springfield Prodigy Package Level 2 ($979) — Strips out all MIM parts, replaces with solid steel. Hand-fitted and polished throughout. Rivals high-end 2011-style pistols.

All packages ship with $35 flat-rate return shipping to the lower 48 states.
