1911 Gunsmith needed

[Fidget253]

I would like to find a Gun Smith in the LA area to work on my Para P12, Limited. I live in Santa Clarita but work in Culver City. If you are close to either of these locations, that is what I am looking for.

I want Nightsights installed, and the innards gone though and any reliability work needed done. I also would like a nice trigger job, keeping in mind the gun will be for CCW with some IDPA use. I also would like a cerakote finish.

Anyone around the LA area feel like taking up this project PM with me a ballpark quote. If anyone know of any good gunsmiths who are not hugely backlogged, let me know below :-)

if you are looking for someone good, there is gonna be a back log. I recommend Dave Lawver at Dave's Metal works in west covina, he also does cerakote

Does he do custom work? I don't see anything on his website about it.

Dave does custom work, here's a couple of 1911's he's built.Like Hop Sing said , the good gunsmiths are always busy.

This Commander is mine.

whats the turnaround time for daves metal works like? I would like to get some work done

I emailed Dave a week ago and no reply

Give him a call, he's not an email kinda guy. If you want it done right, you are gonna have to wait. Turn around time for 1911 work by a good smith should not be a concern.
