About
How I became IPSC WORLD CHAMPION
Matt McLearn
Owner | Gunsmith
As a young man, I had one goal: Become the ISPC World Champion & USPSA National Champion. But no matter how many thousands of hours I spent training, I just couldn’t get the results I needed. Something was wrong.
I was shocked when I realized that the problem wasn’t with me or my training. The problem was my gun. Slight imperfections in its craftsmanship were causing major problems.
It was time to take things into my own hands. I learned everything I could about gun crafting and trained with some of the best in the industry. When I returned to competition, I won both the USPSA National Championship & IPSC World Championship in the same year – with guns I made myself.
Now I use my experience and knowledge to create the world’s finest handguns that will perform flawlessly, no matter where life takes you.

"Matt, Thanks for all the work you have done on my guns over the years. It is a pleasure to work with someone of your expertise. Your workmanship is always top notch and, best of all, the guns always run! Additionally, I am always amazed how you can diagnosis problems over the phone and recommend fixes for my amateur gunsmithing mistakes. Just the fact that you get on the phone shows how much you care and what a true “custom” shop you run. I couldn’t find that quality of workmanship or level of service at a “production” shop."
