The History of the Man Behind the Invention:
Travis Strahan began accurizing firearms for the United States Army in 1956. He is one of the finest armorers to have worked at the US Army AMU. Travis
has provided competition pistols to champions Hershel Anderson, Bonnie Harmon, B.J. Hile, R. D. Whitacre, and M. D. Black. All of these shooters are distinguished champions
and hold records still unbeaten today. Anyone having the privilege of owning and shooting one of Travis’s accurized firearms knows that
they have experienced the best.
Travis holds many innovative patents for the 1911 pistol along with one of the best pistol rests; including:
- Platform Ramp Sight 4,192,075 Mar 11, 1980
- Stepped Platform Ramp Sight: 4,244,114 Jan 13, 1981
- Anti Recoil Device 4,833,808 Feb 12, 1988
- Firearm Safety Lock 6,405,470 Jun 14, 2000
- Slide and Barrel Coupler 6,116,137 Sep 12, 2000
- Gun Rest D506 521 Jun 21, 2005
He has designed the most precise slide/barrel lockup mechanism available which contributes greatly to
the inherent accuracy of his firearms. It is by far the most consistently accurate 1911 pistol because there is no
concern for bushing wear or consistently positive lockup.
Travis has designed special tooling to cut the exact required angles every time to maintain consistency in workmanship.
These custom 1911’s have an accurate shooting life far exceeding anything else available.
Strahan Accu-Lock 1911
Travis Strahan has decided to make his Accu-Lock available on a limited basis. He personally does all of the accurizing work
and builds all pistols on the Colt Series 70 frame. Other frames and slides are available on a custom order basis. These pistols
will be test fired by Hershel Anderson and signed off by both Travis and Hershel.
Having a signed document by both of these accomplished individuals to accompany the finest 1911 pistol made will be a significant
addition to any collection. Initial projections for the next calendar year will be a limited run of 36 pistols.
