Who is CPT? 

 

November 2023

My name is Chris James, I am Combat Precision. CPT was founded to offer a new age of craftsmanship and client experience that is like no other company. It is my goal to offer the most exclusive one-of-a-kind custom 1911's and my limited production 1911 Double Stack (2011) builds.


Chris James offers exceptional customer service and is a relentless perfectionist that builds rugged tools that are combat reliable and collector grade. He will guide you through the process helping to uncover the build you truly desire. Regardless if you are a collector or a performance shooter, Chris James is the craftsman and artist for your perfect 1911.

Owning multiple highend custom 1911’s, Spyder is along the rugged lines and style of Chuck Rogers. Fastback has a lot of elegance to it as if Chuck Rogers and Ted Yost were blended together. They are both great shooters. Project Elenaor shoots different and the point of impact to aim is unreal. Feels like I am pointing with my finger going bang. Unlike many other builders, Chris takes you along for the ride, and makes you a part of the process.

As a 1911 afficiando, I have multiple high-end, full custom pistols
from a variety of highly skilled, and gifted artisans. Of my custom
guns, my Combat Precision pieces are among my favorite. I am the proud
owner of three Combat Precision 1911’s, and a fully customized Glock
17. Project “Odin Bravo One” was my entry into Chris’ work, and
quickly followed with a commission of Project: “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”,
where Chris brilliantly infused his talents to meet the requirements
of a very demanding husband/wife project. His Glock and 1911 work is
second to none, and I look forward to the next project we can realize
together.
