BECAUSE OF YOU!!

HEFFRON PRECISION© offers CUSTOM PERFORMANCE TUNING for ALL Colt Double Action Revolvers that meet the following criteria: 1) Must have a swing-out cylinder 2) The cylinder must rotate clockwise.  This covers small frame Colts back to 1895, large frame Colts back to 1898, and medium frame Colts back to 1908.  We offer CUSTOM PERFORMANCE TUNING for all Colt Single Action Army-based Revolvers that fire metallic cartridges (Centerfire and Rimfire Single Action Army-Type Revolvers).  We do not offer engraving or refinishing services, but instead specialize in the mechanical performance, mechanical function, and accuracy performance of the amazing Colt Revolvers.

Our tuning makes your revolver more accurate AND allows you to shoot more accurately.  We are qualified for any and all of it as we are unsurpassed in our working knowledge, craftsmanship, and overall execution.

WHY DON'T WE OFFER ENGRAVING, REFINISHING, OR CUSTOM FINISHES?  To those who DO offer it and to those who want it, I mean no disrespect!  I respect these craftsmen a great deal and I love an engraved gun as much as the next person, but that's not what we're about.....

We Create Performance!!  Revolver mechanisms that function like a Swiss watch.  Trigger pulls so clean and crisp they exceed conventional notions.  Accuracy that can rival and often exceed any revolver made anywhere at any price.  That is what we're about.  We take a refined Engineering approach to every service we offer so the end result is a superior trigger, superior function, and superior accuracy.

                      WE HAVE A NATIONWIDE CUSTOMER BASE!

Our custom-firearms company has provided a variety of performance-oriented gunsmithing services for over 3 decades. We possess a vast amount of experience in the custom gunsmithing field. We offer Proven Performance Services (some of which are patented) developed through years of innovation and research. Revolversmithing is our specialty at HEFFRON PRECISION©. Precision accuracy and precision mechanisms combine to create this company's obsession.  Since 1989 we have offered many services for many products.  We have tailored our services to our customer's needs.  This has landed us squarely within the CUSTOM REVOLVER and REVOLVER REPAIR business.  It's only logical (given our background) that we'd specialize in Colt Revolver Performance and Repair.  Our knowledge in this area is unsurpassed.  All performance oriented custom work is designed and executed using a design engineering approach.  Our work stands the test of time. 

HEFFRON PRECISION©: More Detailed Custom Service Explanations

Our custom trigger and action tuning services have all been designed by a Mechanical Engineer, then fine tuned on AutoCAD, and extensively prototyped.  All custom trigger and action services must have proven durability through 120,000 - 150,000 dry fire cycles during the prototyping phase.  Here is an overview of the revolvers we service:

-Colt Old Series Double-Action Revolvers.  Small Frame 1895 and Later (ending with the Detective Special in 1995), Medium Frame 1908 and Later (ending with the old series Python Elite in 2005), Large Frame 1898 and Later (ending with the New Service in 1942).  All will have a CLOCKWISE ROTATING cylinder.

-Colt 1873 Single-Action Army and Associated Offspring - We Also Service Scout, New Frontier, and Peacemaker Single-Action Rimfire Revolvers.

-Colt Coil Spring Mechanism Double-Action Revolvers - J Frame MKIII (ending with Trooper MKIII in 1983), V Frame MKV (ending with Trooper MKV in 1985), AA Frame (ending with old series King Cobra in 1998), MM Frame (ending with old series Anaconda in 2003).

Our work is second to none!  We can repair any of these revolvers with ease due to our part-fabrication capabilities and parts networking.  We offer the finest in custom performance tuning because we have engineered every service we offer.  Careful engineering, Computer Aided Design, and extensive experience with revolvers combine to create an end product of unsurpassed performance and value.  Our specific design and execution gives you more for your money.  Consequently, some of our services are unique by nature, but they provide you with much more performance than you paid for. THAT is our goal. This performance research never ends. HEFFRON PRECISION© maintains a path of continuous improvement.

HEFFRON PRECISION© has taken the science and art of revolver tuning to new levels. The majority of the time, there is some type of research being conducted that will benefit our customers in the end. This is why our actions offer superior smoothness. This is why our triggers offer superior pulls. This is why our revolvers offer superior accuracy. All of our services have been PROVEN IN EVERY WAY before they are released. The concept of stoning a little here, bending this spring, grinding a little off of that spring, filing that shorter, etc, does NOT cut it here. Our services are Exacting Precision Services that have been engineered and prototyped so they work exactly as advertised, GUARANTEED.  I started this business in 1989.  Throughout the years, we have become more and more SPECIALIZED.  We're ALL about select Colt revolvers for the Competitor, Collector, and Serious Shooter.  HEFFRON PRECISION© offers the best there is, yet we all remain committed to our roots with a "down to earth" approach.

During our time in business, we have developed a loyal following of customers. We have customized firearms throughout the entire United States, South America, and Europe.  We continue to do so. Many of our customers have become friends. In this business, you meet the best people!  WE HAVE THE BEST CUSTOMERS!!

I take care of the final-stage revolversmithing, design work, and "pointing the cane".  My wife Tammy takes care of workplace efficiency with her experience within the Manufacturing Engineering field, paperwork, shipping, and receiving.  She's even been known to answer an email or two!  She has someone working with her to assist with the sometimes-mountainous paperwork.  We have two terrific employees who are highly skilled machinists and they're as good as it gets when it comes to parts prep and revolver servicing.  They make parts, fit parts, and on the custom revolver work they prep the internal revolver parts so I can perform the final fitment, finishing, and assembly (they are HIGHLY skilled and we affectionately refer to them as "The Wrecking Crew").  We are a family-operated company that can hold its head high in this competitive industry.

Please take some time and browse through our site and see what we have to offer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call us or send an email. We want to assist YOU, our highly valued customers!
