Volkmann Precision Combat Carrry

The Volkmann Precision Combat Carry is a custom 1911 built around a compact, carry-focused format. Volkmann’s current factory description identifies the model as a Commander-size pistol with a 4.25-inch barrel, bobbed mainspring housing, extensive edge beveling, and a satin finish. Those dimensions describe the model, but no factory build sheet was supplied for this individual pistol.
The photographs establish several details with confidence. This example has a silver-tone frame and slide, a bobbed grip frame, textured black grip panels with Volkmann medallions, and a long three-hole trigger. It also has rear cocking serrations, a fixed rear sight, a single-sided thumb safety, a lowered ejection port, and visible frame texturing. “Volkmann Precision” appears on the left side of the slide, while “Combat Carry” appears on the right. The markings identify the pictured pistol as the stated model.
Volkmann describes its pistols as individually built rather than assembled on a production line. Factory literature states that the frames and slides are machined from steel forgings, then fitted, blended, and finished by hand. That method gives the Combat Carry a different character from a standard production 1911. Its collector interest rests on individual construction, available custom configurations, and the limited uniformity that follows from building pistols to customer specifications. No claim of rarity or documented provenance can be made for this example from the material supplied.
The surface finish appears clean and even in the photographs, with no obvious major damage visible from the angles provided. That is only a visual assessment. Mechanical condition, bore condition, chambering, factory originality, and prior use have not been established. A factory build sheet or inspection would be needed before describing those points as confirmed.
