When Bill Wilson began customizing 1911s in 1977, he aspired to be like a few custom 1911 Masters. Bill shares his unique collection of custom 1911s with Massad Ayoob and shows some of his influences. From Jim Hoag and Frank A. Pachmayr, to his personal friend Armand Swenson, these are the pioneers of custom 1911s.
