Welcome to the Specialty Shop. Any pistol ordered from Safari Arms that is not one of the four standard models listed on the 1911 page, will be assembled by our specialty shop.
      The Specialty Shop was established in 1995 to provide quality custom 1911 style .45's at reasonable prices.
      Being one of the few pistol makers who manufacture the majority of their own parts, we have complete control over quality. As a matter of fact, Safari Arms manufactures all of the major components for its pistols, including the slide, frame, barrel, beavertail, safeties and slide stops.
      For custom options available, please have a look at the options list, and see what we have available. If there is something you want or need, but you don't see it on the list, please let us know.

All the items on this page must be ordered through a federally licensed firearms dealer.
Please check your local and state laws before ordering.



Safari Arms, Inc. Big Deuce
For years IPSC shooters have been mating dissimilar metals when putting guns together. The reason being as the two different metals, in our case, steel and stainless steel, wear together better than two like metals. This, with the addition of a 6" barrel and slide, makes for a winning combination.

Safari Arms, Inc. Carrier
The Carrier is a brand new 1911 .45 ACP from the Specialty Shop. This bushingless .45 is based on our Reliable frame, and will make a good bullseye, pin gun, or carry piece. The bushingless system has been used to provide better accuracy, and there is no bushing to wear out and get sloppy. This sturdy firearm will make a nice addition to your gun safe or holster.

Safari Arms, Inc. Reliable
Do you look at our trademark finger-
groove, and think, "That's just not for me."? If so, look and decide if this is for you. With the Reliable you get a more traditional 1911, but still retain the features and, more importantly, the quality that comes standard in every Safari Arms or Safari Arms Specialty Shop pistol that leaves our factory. We think you'll like it.
