About This Business

With over 40 years of dedicated experience, Smith Gun, owned and operated by Jess Smith, stands as a premier destination for comprehensive gunsmithing services in San Angelo, Texas. We specialize in a wide array of firearm specialties, from building highly accurate hunting and bench rest rifles capable of dime-sized groups at 100 yards, to crafting custom single barrel trap shotguns on Highwall Martini/Greener actions used on the ATA circuit. Our expertise extends to creating custom, accurate 1911 pistols guaranteed to group less than one inch at 25 yards in a Ransom Rest. Beyond custom builds, Smith Gun offers a full spectrum of metal finishing options including electroless nickel, cold rust blue, hot blue, parkerize, and authentic color case hardening—the same process used by Colt on their SAAs. As an actual gun shop and machine shop, we maintain a stock of parts for most firearms and possess the capability to manufacture parts for obsolete guns, ensuring that if a repair can't be done here, it likely can't be done anywhere. Our services also include installing screw-in choke tubes, muzzle brakes, and much more. Furthermore, Jess Smith is a certified Licensed to Carry (LTC) Instructor and an NRA Certified Handgun Instructor, offering individual and group classes to promote responsible firearm ownership. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the Smith Ranch, located southwest of San Angelo, offers excellent deer, dove, and turkey hunts on free-ranging land. At Smith Gun, we are committed to precision, quality, and customer satisfaction, serving both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to the firearms community.
