Thread: Puget Sound area gunsmith?

I'd like a beavertail fitted to my 1911.. Not a "hard" job, but definitely one that benefits from an attention-oriented smith. I know a lot of gunshops have smiths, but I've read bad stuff here and there about some of them. I only found one guy not associated with a shop, Dane Burns. Anyone have any words of praise for a good job done for a reasonable price?

thanks in advance

Dane is a good one....he does quality work.

Bruce Jackson at the Marksmen in puyallp is outstanding with 1911's nice guy and stands behind his work.

John Larson does fine work on 1911's, very nice guy and a shooter, too.

Can't for the life of me figure out why I keep forgetting Bruce...we even shoot together sometimes.

Maybe because we shoot and don't 'smith together....

Yep, give Bruce Jackson a call....he's a good one.

Glad to hear it .. I just dropped my 1911 and a revolver off with Bruce yesterday. I even learned a few things just watching him examine/function test my guns

He was quite taken by the revolver (a pinned and recessed S&W Model 17)
