Venom Custom specializes in building quality firearms for the competitive shooter. 

From the Beginning

Where We Are Now

Don started out as a competitive shooter and was sending his guns out for work to be done. He sent out one gun at the end of a season for a trigger job and at the start of the next season still didn't have it back. He decided that with his mechanic background that this was work he could do on his own. Don began tinkering with his own guns- trigger jobs and barrel fittings. Things went well and word got out and Don began working on other peoples guns. 

Venom Custom LLC became fully licensed in 2018 and is now located in Nashville, TN. Each gun is a custom build and Don focuses on 1911 and 2011 guns. Venom Custom LLC is dedicated to building guns with quality workmanship, open communication and in a timely manner.
