Thunder Mountain Custom operates in Southern Arizona at the base of the Huachuca Mountains, where we proudly build, customize, and support the iconic 1911 platform. As a veteran-owned firearms manufacturer and full-service 1911 gunsmithing shop, we focus on precision craftsmanship, reliable performance, and American-made quality.
From complete custom pistol builds to repairs, upgrades, and performance tuning, we work to deliver exceptional results for shooters who demand the best. Because we specialize exclusively in the 1911 platform, every service and product we offer reflects deep knowledge, hands-on experience, and a commitment to excellence.
Our team brings together decades of diverse firearms experience, including formal 1911 pistolsmithing training, armorer certifications, competitive shooting, hunting, military weapons training, and extensive custom-build history. This wide-ranging expertise allows us to approach every project with both technical skill and practical insight.
In addition to custom gunsmithing services, Thunder Mountain Custom designs and produces its own line of premium 1911 parts. Each component is crafted from solid bar stock, engineered for superior fit and durability, and offered at fair prices for shooters and builders who take pride in customizing their own pistols. As our product selection continues to expand, we remain dedicated to partnering with leading U.S. manufacturers to supply high-quality, American-made parts and tools.
