Hoag's guns however, are the MOST desirable custom 1911's to most pistolsmiths. Richard Heinie, Bill Wilson, Ed Brown-they all collect HOAG guns. Why? Well, he was the first 1911 pistolsmith who cared about fit and finish. Hoag was a contemporary of Swenson who started out working for King's Gunworks. After moving out on his own, Hoag's proximity to LA enabled many a Hollywood star to get custom 1911's built. Hoag is known for building James Caan's longslide 1911 in the movie "Thief", a pistol that heavily influenced other budding pistolsmiths, notably Heinie. Hoag's attention to detail was far superior to Swenson and rivaled only by Pachmayr's Combat Special builds Unlike other masters of the era, the quality of the work stands up very well today. Mr. Hoag, pushing 80, still builds custom pistols in Canoga Park, CA. ,FFL, MONEY ORDER,BUYER TO PAY SHIPPING,REQUEST CONFIRMATION OF WINNING BID WITHIN 3 DAYS OF END OF AUCTION, ALL ITEMS ARE FOR SALE IN MY SHOP UNTIL A BID IS PLACED ON THE AUCTION., SHIPPING UPS ONLY.
