CNC - Custom and Collectable

Limited Edition 1911s

CNC's 1911 lineup spans Colt, Kimber, and Springfield-based builds with engraved scrollwork, exotic grip materials (burled maple, alligator, buffalo horn), and finishes like color case hardening and black chrome plating. Most runs are capped at 300 units, and each listing states the exact production number — a genuine consideration for collectors, not just marketing language.

Themed and Tribute Editions

CNC regularly produces tribute editions tied to a theme — the Folds of Honor edition supports veteran and military family causes, and the Western Spirit and War Horse editions lean into Old West styling with engraved slides and horn or pearl grips.

Beyond 1911s: Rifles and Revolvers

CNC's catalog extends past 1911s to modern rifles (Daniel Defense DDM4 in Duck Camo Cerakote, Faxon bolt guns), lever actions (Marlin 1894 and Henry H23 with polished or blued custom finishes), and single-action revolvers (Ruger Blackhawk with color case hardening) — all built with the same limited-run, collector-focused approach.

Buying a Limited Edition Firearm

These are collector pieces first and shooters second — confirm the exact unit number and condition before buying if provenance matters to you, and consider that resale value on a genuinely limited run (1 of 300 or fewer) tends to hold up better than a standard production model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are CNC Firearms guns still fully functional, or just display pieces?
They're fully functional firearms built on top of established platforms (Colt, Kimber, Daniel Defense, etc.) — the custom work is engraving, finish, and grips, not a change to the underlying mechanism.

What does "1 of 300" mean on a CNC listing?
It means that specific configuration is produced in a run capped at 300 total units, and the unit is often individually numbered — a genuine limited-production run, not just a marketing phrase.
