We like the modern, modular, high-cap pistols as much as any handgun fan - they’re easy to work on and easy to upgrade. But let’s be fair: that kind of work isn’t gunsmithing. Building a 1911 is a task that requires real, hard-won gunsmithing skills earned through experience. If you’re capable of building your own Forty-Five, show off your passion with a Brownells / Grunt Style "Smithin’ Ain’t Easy" 1911 t-shirt. We wanted the "Smithin’ Ain’t Easy" tee to be a shirt for folks who get their hands dirty working. So we got together with the folks at Grunt Style, who know a thing or two about manufacturing comfortable, durable, high-quality clothing (and 1911s, too). This is a shirt you’re going to reach for many a morning, not a one-and-done novelty.

• Durable double-needle stitching
• Cotton fabric is cool in summer, provides excellent near-the-skin insulation in the winter
• Tagless, non-binding crew neck for itch-free comfort
• Long-lasting screen-printed graphics
• Available in sizes Small thru 3X-Large

Made of ultra-comfortable, natural cotton, our classic rough-and-tumble style t-shirt sports a "distressed" image of a vintage 1911 and the tools to build it on the back, with the Brownells name and logo on the left front. There’s an American flag on the right sleeve and the Grunt Style logo on the left sleeve. So grab yourself a Brownells / Grunt Style 1911 "Smithing Ain't Easy" t-shirt and show the world that when it comes to building the King of Pistols, you don’t take the easy way out!
