Service
Handgun Work
Reliable, accurate, and ready when it matters most.
Service Overview
Whether it is a daily carry pistol, a range gun, or a revolver passed down in the family, handguns get serviced with the reliability of the firearm as the top priority. We handle repair, trigger work, sight installation, and general maintenance.
We work on semi-automatic pistols and revolvers from most major manufacturers, including older and discontinued models.
A carry or home defense handgun carries a level of responsibility that other firearms do not. Reliability is never optional on those projects, which is why every piece of handgun work leaving our shop is function tested before it goes back to you.
