Ordering Process

At any point in time, we would gladly take your order and guide you through the process over the phone or through email. Call us or email us during business hours and we will guide you.

Our Core Series are available to order from the Core Series section of our website. Simply choose the firearm that suits your needs the most. We manufacture them on a regular basis and try to keep them in stock. If not, the wait times are fairly short.

Our Signature Series are firearms that we design and engineer to showcase certain advancements or finishing techniques. These are one of a kind firearms and you will be the only one in the world with them. You can order them directly from our Signature Series page.

We also offer a totally custom service. We can engineer and design for you, basically, anything you want on the 1911/2011 platform. It is our specialty. Since these firearms require a longer conversation and design process, please call us or email us to schedule a consultation.

Once you place your order for your dream firearm, and secure your place in line with a deposit, we will confirm the order with and invoice and get to work building you the dream shooting machine.

We either manufacture in house or source the best parts possible. It is crucial for us to only use the very best parts, ones that pass our QC testing. Every single part is then hand fit and modified to create the perfect gun. Once the firearm is fit, we function test it to ensure it performs perfectly. The next step is sanding, blasting, blending, polishing, beveling of corners, and making the firearm a high class work of art. The firearm is then disassembled and sent to a special coating facility to apply the highest grade finishes available. They are not spray painted, they are coated with titanium alloys. Once the parts come back from coating, our gunsmiths re-assemble them, checking for any imperfections, lube them, loctite where necessary, and inspect them. They are then function tested again to ensure perfect performance.

Once this process is done, we will take glamour shots of your firearm, and contact you with a final invoice for final payment. Once you choose the Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer that is closest to you, we will ship you the firearm overnight.

This is only when our partnership begins… Welcome to the Akai family, we will continue to service your firearm and help you with whatever you need.
