Standard Manufacturing

The Standard Manufacturing 1911 is the pinnacle of the gunmaking art. This model with its deep Royal Blue finish is like no other 1911 available anywhere and at any price. To obtain this finish all metal surfaces must be meticulously prepared by our expert craftsman with many labor intensive hours of hand polishing and stoning. No other manufacturer that we know of is capable of producing this level of finish. In fact, this Royal Blue finish is only encountered on the very best guns manufactured many decades ago when time and labor was not a major factor but craftsmanship was. At all stages of manufacturing this gun they employ the same fundamental principles. All of the metal to metal fits are as perfect as can be performed by the most skilled gunsmith.
