Mastering Custom 1911 Performance
The 1911 pistol holds a special place in the hearts of firearm enthusiasts. At Lone Star Gunsmithing, we’re proud to be certified 1911 experts, offering upgrades and modifications that take this classic firearm to the next level.
Benefits of Custom 1911 Work:

- Enhanced Reliability through upgraded springs, safeties, and ejectors.
- Stylish Customization with Cerakote finishes and unique grips.
For example, a recent client brought in their stock Rock Island Armory 1911. After replacing the trigger, upgrading the sights, and applying a custom Cerakote finish, the pistol was transformed into a high-performance, personalized masterpiece. Whether you’re a competitive shooter or a casual gun owner, custom 1911 work can elevate your experience.
Cutting-Edge Custom Glock Services
Glock pistols are celebrated for their reliability and practicality, but many owners want to customize these handguns to better suit their needs. We specialize in custom Glock modifications that refine performance and style.
Popular Glock Upgrades:
- Trigger Jobs for a smoother, lighter pull.
- Slide Serrations and Refinishing for improved grip and aesthetics.
- Grip Modification to enhance comfort and control.
- Red Dot Sight Installation to improve aiming precision.
A Lone Star Gunsmithing customer recently requested a Glock redesign to better suit competitive shooting. After installing an upgraded barrel, performing grip modifications, and mounting an RMR sight, they left with a firearm that boosted both comfort and on-target consistency.
Precision Revolver Gunsmithing
Revolvers may be simpler in design, but they demand exceptional skill to maintain and upgrade. Our revolver gunsmithing services are tailored to everything from antique models to modern handguns.
Services We Provide:
- Timing Adjustments to ensure proper alignment and firing.
- Trigger Polishing for a smoother and more consistent pull.
- Cylinder Repairs to fix ejection and loading issues.
- Restoration of heirloom revolvers, preserving both form and function.
One standout example was an aged revolver that had become virtually unusable due to years of neglect. After carefully timing the cylinder, polishing the trigger, and cleaning the mechanisms, we returned it to its former glory—ready to fire smoothly once again.
Cerakote Applications for Firearms

At Lone Star Gunsmithing, our professional Cerakote application process ensures a flawless finish every time. Just last month, we transformed a customer’s worn and scratched 1873 Uberti rifle with a sleek new Cerakote coating—it left looking brand new and ready for decades of reliable performance.
