I sent one of my 1911’s to Evolution Armory earlier this year. It was a stainless-steel version I infrequently used given that my taste for stainless-steel guns changed over the years.
I worked with Mark one-on-one to create the build list, and he was able to provide thoughtful and accurate feedback during our conversations. He made it a point to make sure I was going to get what I wanted out of the pistol upon its return.
It’s worth noting, that upon Evolution receiving my pistol, Mark called me to explain I didn’t need to replace my barrel, as the lock-up and condition were still in like-new condition. I appreciated that honesty and that interaction gave me insight into the businesses integrity.
The pistol was returned to me faster than I expected, and I was speechless on the build, modifications, fit, and finish. Evolution Armory knocked it out of the park and exceeded my expectations of the outcome. In ALL areas.
I had a chance to take the pistol to the range last weekend, and shot 300+ rounds, without cleaning and did not experience a single issue whatsoever. This once-safe queen has quickly become my new daily carry and a tool I feel comfortable relying on when I might need it most.
I will be calling Evolution Armory in the future for a complete, ground-up, build and highly recommend...
Read moreFrom start to finish it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Mark and Dave. I went with them for my first custom build on a colt, that I recieved last week. Communication throughout was extremely good. Including update photo's. They came highly reccomended by other 1911 aficionados including some big names in the custom 1911 industry.
You won't find a better place to send a colt or build a custom 1911 thats currently taking orders, it doesn't exist. Name a 1911 smith you've read of. Dave is right there with him, don't doubt that for a second. Fit and funtion of my 1911 is as good as it gets and better than I could've hoped for. A true heirloom quality 1911. That Dave builds to be used like a tool with no reservations. Mark and Dave truly love what they do and are extreme professionals in their craft (Dave's a 1911 wizard).
That target is 2 different...
Read moreI sent in a custom Titanium frame Caspian double stack that we built to these guys for DLC black coating and they absolutely crushed it! It was around a 12 thousand dollar gun so I put a lot of faith in them. We spent 4 days polishing the gun before we sent it in, and it turned out absolutely perfect. I will be sending them many more of my custom pistols for coating. The timeliness was spot on as well. I think they got it back to me in less than a month. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again for your hard...
