The Schuetzen Pistol Works is the 1911 division at Olympic Arms. The Pistol Works demonstrates Olympic Arms’ commitment to the greatest pistol design in history: John Moses Browning’s 1911. We offer you choices available nowhere else. There are production pistols, ten kit frame configurations, three lengths of kit slides, and a wide variety of parts, barrels, and pistolsmithing services.

All SPW pistols feature matched frames and slides, individually fitted and head-spaced barrels, complete ramp and throat jobs, lowered and widened ejection ports, beveled mag wells, hand-stoned-to-match hammers and sears, lightweight long-shoe over-travel adjusted triggers, shaped and tensioned extractors, extended thumb safeties, wide beavertail grip safeties, adjustable rear sights, dovetail front sights, and full length guide rods. Every pistol is test-fired with military hardball, major power factor LSWC, and JHP ammunition.

The Matchmaster Series can be ordered with either the classic Matchmaster profile frame, or with an R/S (round trigger guard / straight front strap) frame for the same price. Each pistol is available in stainless or carbon steel, or in Deuce configuration (black slide on a stainless frame).

Our Specialty Shop crafts deadly serious 1911s for Law Enforcement and Military professionals, as well as "Dream Guns" for the dedicated enthusiast.
