Tom took a stock ATI 1911 and “remade it into a legend.” The slide was laser cut with ports, the mag well opened up, and the barrel housing laser engraved, then the whole pistol got a distressed black-and-red Cerakote finish. The distressing gives the gun a worn, battle-scarred feel, with black wearing through the red…
This Rock Island 1911 was custom built as an Ohio State theme pistol. It got a three-color Cerakote coating and a set of custom-made jeweled grips with an inlaid diamond medallion.

This is the beginning stage of a Spiderman Punisher themed AR-15. Tom was commissioned to come up with a killer design building off that mash-up, and this lower is the start.

The tumblers are finished in black and red with the Fosters Fuel branding, and Tom copied the original can…

The worn finish lets red peek through black at the edges, as if the pistol has seen years of hard use. The ports cut…

The pistol is fully Star Wars themed in grey and red, with engraving throughout. And as Tom put it, no stormtrooper pistol would…
