So you think your 1911 is the best, we say, "Bring it on!" |
|
| The Journeyman is the product of Richard Neimer, the Chief Pistolsmith at Safari Arms.
With the market basically aflood of 1911 style handguns, it goes without saying that if you cannot provide an excellent product, you will not get the share of the market that you are looking for. To combat this problem, Richard has developed the "Schuetzen Pistol Works" as the custom shop of Safari Arms (a division of Olympic Arms, Inc.). Within the SPW shop are made some of the finest 1911's to ever have hit the street. The 2 latest models, the Street Deuce and the Journeyman are examples of this fine quality and craftsmanship. Pictured above is the Journeyman. This pistol starts its construction with a full size stainless steel GI style 1911 frame which is investment cast in Olympic Arms' own casting house (Cast Industries, Costa Mesa, CA. pictured to the right and below). |

Olympic/Safari Arms is one of the very few firearms manufacturers left that owns and operates it's own casting house. As seen here, this is a hot and dangerous job. But when done with the skilled hands of employees who have been pouring steel and aluminum for over 20 years, producing some of the best investment castings in America becomes second nature.
The frame is then precision CNC machined on some of the best machines available. The frame is the mated with a 4140 steel slide, and the handgun really starts to take shape. |
| Freshly ground frames and slides are tested for quality. Some parts are installed and tested before this batch of parts will be passed on the the next stage of manufacturing. This happens to be a 6" slide, but you get the idea. |
