Because one at a time makes one of a kind.

The process we use to build your pistol is no secret, we simply take the time to fit each part individually as if the piece were going into one of our own personal collections. There are no assembly lines at Volkmann Custom. All pistols are built one at a time to the customer's specifications. Our pistols are hand crafted with a degree of precision unmatched by any other company in the industry.

Our parts are machined to maximum dimensions, then hand fit for minimal tolerances while providing flawless functioning. We start by utilizing only the best quality bar stock and hardened steel to craft our components, big and small. Our custom frames and slides are CNC cut for extreme precision from an all carbon steel forging then hand fit with small pillar files and lapped with a multitude of abrasive compounds. The larger working parts are then fit and blended into the frame and slide with the help of a vertical mill and special cutters. Our CNC machined, hand broached and chambered barrels are cut to precisely mate up with our slides and frames. We fit these premium match barrels by hand along with a 1 to 1 fit Stainless Steel barrel bushing for gauranteed accuracy.

After the pistol is in mechanical order, we unify parts into one smooth form with a large buffing wheel and then dehorn all edges of the weapon. We disassemble it a second time to further polish out smaller tool marks by hand with an assortment of emory cloth, polishing stones and hand tools. Triggers are then installed, set and tested by hand and measuring gauges. Finally, we engrave logos, model names and serial numbers to the polished parts. Because compression stamping our mark would cause metal strain, all Volkmann markings are etched for a clean and classic look.

Each pistol is extensively test-fired with an assortment of ammunition styles and brands. We test all of our premium magazines with your gun for true reliability. Pistols are then dissasembled into single parts and individually numbered before being cleaned and prepped for your choices of finish. We apply this timely treatment to the interior and exterior of every part, giving your pistol the best protection against corrosion. When the parts are finished and cured they are hand inspected, lubricated and assembled. After the pistol is assembled the gun is test-fired a second time, sighted-in and a three-shot group is fired at 15 yards. Your pistol is then cleaned, packed and shipped to your local FFL holder to be picked up.

At Volkmann Custom, it's always "One Masterpiece At  A Time".
