CUSTOM SHOP SERVICES

Our services.

  • NEW FINISH

    At Alpha American Firearms, every finish is applied with precision to enhance durability, improve corrosion resistance, and elevate the overall aesthetic of your firearm. Whether your customer wants a rugged, battle-ready look or a sleek, refined appearance, our finishing options deliver long-lasting performance and premium visual appeal. All finish work is completed in-house or through trusted U.S. partners to ensure the highest quality standards.

  • TRIGGER JOB (NEW IGNITION KIT + TRIGGER)

    A full ignition upgrade that delivers a cleaner break, reduced take-up, and a smoother, more consistent trigger pull. This service includes a complete ignition kit and a new trigger, hand-fit for optimal performance.

  • DISCONNECTOR CUT

    We machine a precise disconnector slot into the slide to ensure proper timing and reliable cycling. Ideal for correcting timing issues or upgrading slides that were not originally cut.

  • PORTING (SINGLE OR DUAL TOP PORT)

    Available in our signature single-port or dual-port styles, porting helps reduce muzzle rise and improve shot-to-shot control. Each port is precision-cut to enhance performance while complementing the firearm’s aesthetics.

  • DOUBLE STACK CONVERSION

    A complete bottom-end overhaul that transforms a single-stack platform into a double-stack. This package includes a new frame, grip, ignition kit, hammer, slide stop, ejector, thumb safety (ambi or single-sided), and a fresh Alpha American finish. The result: higher capacity, modern ergonomics, and a full performance refresh.

  • RECOIL SPRING REPLACEMENT

    We replace your recoil spring with a properly tuned option to improve cycling, reduce premature wear, and ensure consistent reliability matched to your firearm and ammo selection.

  • MAGWELL COATING

    Your existing magwell can be refinished in any of our Alpha American finishes, including DLC, Nitride, Battleworn Nitride, or Cerakote, for improved durability and a cohesive, customized appearance.

  • DLC MAG UPGRADE

    We can apply DLC to your existing magazines or provide new mags with the DLC upgrade included. This option also supports custom Camo DLC patterns for a unique, premium look paired with enhanced wear resistance.

  • PORT WINDOWS

    Precision-machined slide windows that reduce slide weight and add a modern, aggressive aesthetic without adding ports to the barrel. Ideal for shooters seeking faster cycling and a high-performance, lightweight slide profile.

  • SURFACE PREP

    We remove machine marks, blend surfaces, and prepare metal for finishing. High-quality surface prep ensures a cleaner final appearance and helps finishes bond properly for long-term durability.

  • ADDING BEVELS

    We bevel edges and corners for smoother handling and enhanced visual refinement. This service improves ergonomics while giving the firearm a more polished, custom-built appearance.

  • FLUTED BARREL HOOD

    Custom fluting added to the barrel hood for a refined, performance-driven aesthetic. This detail not only looks premium but can also help shed debris and improve cycling cleanliness.

  • THUMB STIPPLE

    We apply hand-cut stippling to the thumb rest area for improved traction, control, and grip retention during rapid strings of fire.

  • CROWNED BARREL

    A precision crown added to the muzzle protects the rifling and enhances accuracy. This upgrade offers both functional and aesthetic benefits for performance-focused shooters.
