Our precision firearms components are made from Aerospace grade metal castings made by 30 years of casting experience. Casting is much less expensive than forgings so the savings is passed on to you. Less waste equals less cost.

The whole point of casting is to reduce machine time and to create a less expensive frame with the same tolerance and strength. The single most expensive machining operation in a 1911 frame is hollowing-out the magwell, and that opening is created as part of the molding process on a 1911 cast frame.

By using the near net shape investment casting process, we have designed the cost out of a 1911 frame. CNC Machined frames are good, but very expensive to produce and each one has to be machined from a block of solid steel one at a time. You end up paying for the time to machine the frame and you pay for the scrap material that comes off the block. By pouring multiple frames at a time, we can lower the cost per frame.

The hammer is a part of a firearm that is used to strike the percussion cap/primer, or a separate firing pin, to ignite the propellant and fire the projectile. It is so called due to the fact that it resembles a hammer in both form and function.
