Volkmann Precision

Volkmann Precision builds one at a time, hand-fit 1911 pistols in Colorado, emphasizing slide to frame fit, barrel lock up, and tuned triggers. Core offerings include the Signature Series, the heirloom styled Pinnacle Series, and the commander length Combat Carry. Each pistol is specced and finished to order, reflecting a single builder process from fitting through test fire.

Match-Grade Control

Every build targets repeatable accuracy through precision barrel fitting, polished feed geometry, and crisp two stage trigger work. Signature Series Government size pistols ship with 5 inch barrels, with a 6 inch long slide option for extended sight radius.

Purpose-Built Versatility

Volkmann catalogs full size, commander, and carry configurations. The Combat Carry’s 4.25 inch format adds heavy beveling and dehorning for easier holstering, with a bobbed mainspring housing and a tritium front paired to a robust rear for fast alignment.

Built to Endure

Frames and slides in carbon or stainless steel receive hand fitting and surface prep before final finish. Attention to edges, sight cuts, and internal tuning supports smooth cycling and long service life under routine carry and training volume.
