The absolute best engraver is Leonard Francolini, doubtful you could afford him.

He's not taking in any new work

Well without really knowing exactly what customizing you need hard to give a name since some are better than others in certain areas of customizing.

Looking to customize my 1911...

Probably the best local 1911 smith is John Jardine.

Otherwise, you'll probably need to send the gun away. I've had a couple of 1911s built by Jason Burton of Heirloom Precision in Arizona. He did some beautiful work.

John Harrison in Georgia has also done some excellent work for me.

I don't think any of those shops do engraving, but they could probably refer you to someone good for the engraving.

Most engraved guns are BBQ guns, not really for shooting.
