Re: Best gunsmith for 1911 customization
Years ago, I had John Yanek do a gun for me, but I do not know if he is still active. Les Schaeffer is on this forum, and I have seen some of his stuff and it looks good, but I don't have shooting experience. https://sheafferprecisiongunworks.com/

Re: Best gunsmith for 1911 customization
I'll personally vouch for Les Sheaffer at SPG (Kempton, PA). He's tuned two of my 1911's, repaired an antique Marlin lever action rifle, and I own one of his personal handguns that's smooth as butter. I've also shot multiple guns he's built or tuned at his annual range day. He's a great gunsmith, reasonably priced, good turnaround times, and a very nice guy.

After reading over his web site, just do a Google search. Plenty of reading to do.

Re: Best gunsmith for 1911 customization
I second the Les Schaeffer. The trigger job he did was great and you could tell he knew his 1911s. He also manufactures his own, or did.
Sit down! You'll never clear leather.
