1911 Savvy Gunsmith in Henderson / Las Vegas Area Needed

[Eltee]

I have a Colt 1911 heavily modified by Tussey. Sadly, Tussey passed away recently (he was in the Reno / Sparks area) so I decided to find a 1911 gunsmith closer to home. I can't even field strip it for cleaning without tools but it IS a fine pistol that I love to shoot.

Dave at The Gun Butler on West Flamingo Rd does a lot of 1911 work. If he can't do the race gun, I'd recommend Wild West Guns on Wynn Road, off West Russell Rd. They have a couple guys there that are really good with Open class 1911 race guns.

I wonder if Burt Taylor is still doing any 1911 work ? Haven't ran into him in years. He did an Officers ACP for me , and also much of the work on a Para P14 I have ( that now has over 70K rounds thru it ).

I get a West Flamingo address for Dave on Google maps.

6370 W Flamingo Rd suite 14-j, Las Vegas, NV 89103

And this address for Wild West

5225 Wynn Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89118

Closer to West Hacienda


Don't know if the address for Gun Butler is current but I thought he was on West side before.

Thank you for the correction. Both stores I recommended are on the west side. I was so good at navigation, I scored a 180.

THANK YOU for the referrals. I will check them out.

I would like to get a melt job and a better crown and a mag well on my 1911
