Welcome to Master Gunworks

In this case Master and Maestro go hand in hand. Jon Motschenbacher has been doing what he does for a long time – and it shows. When it comes to producing truly hand-made, one of a kind handguns, Master Gunworks sets the standard in “hand-made”.

Many of these companies indeed produce a fine 1911 pistol. Master Gunworks’ are not just ‘another one’. In the world of firearms manufacturing, volume equals profit and there simply is not time (or often skill) for someone to sit and hand build your 1911 pistol.  This is where Master Gunworks come in.  They like to use the terms “handcrafted”, “hand built”, or “handmade” when referring to their 1911 pistols.  Why? Because it is the true process by which their 1911 pistols are made. One at a time. By hand.

We start with a raw, machined frame and slide.  Just one pistolsmith uses hand-operated machine tools and manual hand tools to precision fit and finish every part.  What does hand fitting every part mean?  This means a highly skilled pistolsmith will use a hand file, stone, hand lapping, or similar process to fit every part.  The end result is a fit, finish, and smoothness that is beyond compare to any manufactured 1911 pistol. 

The accuracy of Master Gunworks 1911 pistols greatly benefits from this hand-built process.  The attention to detail of these hand-fitted barrels makes their pistols among the most accurate 1911 pistols money can buy.  Our primary mission at Master Gunworks is not to see how much profit we can make and flood the market with our product. The primary mission at Master Gunworks is to make just a few of the highest quality, accurate and beautiful 1911 pistols on the market. 

Family Business: When they say “We at Master Gunworks” Jon is referring to himself, is wife, and his son, and their customer family.  They don’t want to make a lot of 1911 pistols.  They just want to make the best.  They want customers to have something exclusive that not everyone can own.  Purchase a handgun from Master Gunworks, and you become part of the exclusive  Master Gunworks Family as well.
