DoubleStar 1911

DoubleStar’s 1911 has been a four-year labor of love for Jack Starnes, president of J&T Distributing, a DoubleStar affiliate company. Starnes is a former 1911 competitive shooter with a longtime fascination with all things Colt. He started J&T Distributing more than 30 years ago with Colt products and reloaded ammo as a means of supporting his own shooting hobby.

“What we set out to do was produce a high-quality 1911 that delivers match gun performance at a production price,” Starnes said. “We accomplished that and more.”

The handgun uses only American-made components and retails for less than $1,200.

This pistol uses a forged steel fram for maximum strength and accuracy.

DoubleStar recently announced an agreement with Storm Lake Barrels to produce precision match-grade barrels for this gun.
