“It is unusual in this day and age to find a gunsmith who is a true specialist. Eddie is such a gunsmith. The single action Colt is his specialty and he knows it well. I wholeheartedly recommend Peacemaker Specialists for all your Model “P” needs.”

“Eddie’s ‘one at a time’ attention to detail when it comes to Colts is a rare commodity in today’s stamp ‘em out world. When you need something done just right, with no compromise in quality, workmanship or materials, look to Peacemaker Specialists. If you have a clunker you need brought back to life, or a once in a lifetime dream gun in mind, Peacemaker Specialists can make it happen and the results will be exactly, precisely what you had in mind.
“No one else works on my Colts. Period.”

“I was so impressed with Eddie’s work, I sent him a first generation 45 of mine. I doubt if this gun shot as well when it originally came from the factory back in 1907. The result of this mastery is that 5 shots went from a four inch spread to a two inch group.”

“Peacemaker Specialists provides the finest over-all work on Colt Single Actions I have ever seen. This includes restoration, finishing, barrel fitting, chambering, tune and time or general repairs. And I have compared Eddie’s action jobs with other well known, industry names and his are simply the best! Their perfect feel will flat spoil you! Naturally my favorite Colts, the ones I use the most, have been customized by Eddie Janis.”

“A Colt Single Action that left the factory in near perfect condition in 1907 now found itself in need of a major overhaul 90 years later. It was sent off to Eddie Janis along with a new .44 Special barrel I had on hand saved for just such a project. Several new parts were required, a new cylinder pin and bushing, a new mainspring, a few screws, an ejector rod and spring, and a .44 Special cylinder. The new cylinder and barrel were installed with minimum barrel clearance, an oversize cylinder bolt removed all play in the cylinder. Over nearly a century of use both the trigger and hammer notches had worn considerably and these were both welded up and re-cut. In the process the action was tuned, the trigger pull set at 3 1/2#, and all internal parts totally smoothed in what Janis calls his Gunslinger Deluxe Package.“When the 7 1/2” .44 special arrived back home, I was in Single Action Heaven! The action is smooth, the cylinder is tight, the trigger pull is clean and crisp. When it comes to Colt Single Actions, Peacemaker Specialists can handle practically anything from the simplest parts request to a total action job to remarking the barrel and beveling the face of the cylinder to making a new Colt look 100 years old to total rebuilding. I recommend them highly. For less than the cost of a new Third Generation Colt Single Action Army,which by the way cannot now be had in .44 Special chambering, I have a “New” Colt that is as close to perfection as any Single Action Army can be.
