Republic Forge is a builder of true custom, heirloom 1911 handguns, one gun at a time. Our pistols are handcrafted from proprietary forged steel frames, American machined tool steel internal parts, no MIMs or 3D printing. Each pistol starts with a personal interview to determine exactly what the customer wants. Each pistol is hand-fitted by one senior gunsmith. Each barrel is hand chambered and head-spaced to attain amazing accuracy. Our dedication to excellence, precision fit, finish and reliability are apparent from the first time you pick up one of our 1911s. (less)
