VZ Grips has teamed up with two premier custom 1911 builders to bring a one-of-a-kind custom 1911 to life. Jason Burton of Heirloom Precision and Pete Single of Pete’s Custom Shop, each a well renowned 1911 specialist and industry partner with VZ Grips, combined their unique talents and skill sets to craft this special project.

Built on a 5” 45 ACP, Springfield Armory Custom Shop frame & slide set. The pistol is assembled with the highest quality parts available. All critical parts are machined from bar-stock tool steel or forgings, heat treated and checked for proper Rockwell hardness (no castings are used). Every part  enjoys some custom touch, each detailed to insure proper fit and function. The entire pistol is softened and smoothed for comfort of concealed carry, then finished in a deep, rich, classic bluing.

The duo merged their individual styles into one showpiece with the following work and features:

I'm in. Will that squared off trigger guard keep it out of some holsters?

Most custom holster makers have a mold for the squared trigger guard 1911. I did forget to mention that it will come with a beautiful leather holster from my buddy John Ralston at 5 Shot Leather. I'll post pics of it once we get it back from SHOT.
