In 1997 Chip McCormick Custom introduced the first complete line of 1911 components designed to be matched and integrated together into “custom grade” pistols without the extensive fitting, filing, blending, etc., which were previously required. The same technologies we have developed for the multi-million-dollar firearms manufacturers are available to the individual. Our competitors have tried to copy our products and follow the trends we set forth. The oldest, largest, and best-known firearms manufacturers have been using Chip McCormick Custom as a source for the development of technologies and products to advance the performance of their standard production pistols.
