Hayes Custom Guns

The gentleman’s double stack. In an industry driven by speed, precision, and aesthetics, Hayes hits the marks; but does so in a way only a family of their pedigree could. With direct ties to the inception of the double stack 1911, attention to detail comes as naturally to them, as breathing does to you and I. While full custom guns are on the menu, you’re less likely to find the flash of an F1 car here. Instead, kick back, relax, and let your Hayes Custom handgun take you for the refined ride you’ve been searching for.

Race City Defense

The best-kept secret in machining and manufacturing is located 25 miles outside Charlotte, North Carolina – Mooresville “Race City USA”. Mooresville is best known as the home of many NASCAR drivers and teams of mechanics, machinists, and engineers that support them. This is the environment where college friends Tyler and Adam cut their teeth with their first company supporting small race teams that couldn’t afford in-house engineering. Like any good red-blooded American they worked hard and played hard which included racing handguns. Inevitably they turned their engineering talents towards modifying and building guns for themselves and their friends. Like the cars they modified the guns they built are born to run!

Miller Precision

“Some dads will be remembered for pushing their kids in sports, and others for their unflappable demeanor. I will remember my dad for all these things, but most of all, he trained me how to work. That’s what I have been doing my adult life: working on one badass machining project after another until I landed on the ultimate puzzle – double stack 1911s. I found myself at Shot Show at the end of this massive leap in innovation for doublestack 1911s between 1994 and 2022. I saw my future and the opportunity to put my mark on this venerable platform by creating a pistol with innovative changes, modern machining, and user-friendly parts and accessories.”
