How can I order US Infinity factory pistol?
A: You have two choices:
1- Submit the “Gunbuilder” design on the Infinity Firearms website.
2- Send the pistol’s photo to WPA if you not sure what type options you should select and WPA will submit the “Gunbuilder” for you.
The price will be supplied from the US factory and converted into AU dollar plus
GST. The current factory lead time approximately 12-15 month.
Please note the Factory not able to accept overseas orders due to strict export & import
regulation and WPA will process your order.
Because of the constant exchange rate fluctuation full advance payment is the best choice to commence the factory order to avoid further cost increase.
Other option: 50% deposit and pay the remaining balance before delivery.
Please be aware if you prefer this option the remaining balance amount could be increase or decrease according to the delivery’s date exchange rate.
Do you sell frames as a separate part?
To maintain brand quality the US Infinity factory reserve their frame production for complete Infinity pistols. We are obligated to follow the Factory policy.
Do you perform Gunsmith work?
Our components are designed for series 70 1911 type pistols. Most Infinity ® components will work with other manufacturer’s 1911 style pistols. We recommend installations be performed by competent Gunsmiths. WPA works on all makes\models of firearms.
Who can I buy one of your pistols from?
If you are in the Australia we offer customer direct purchasing. Alternatively your dealer may contact us for a wholesale price.
If you are not in Australia you need to find out if you have an Infinity Distributor in your country. Then you will need to work with the Infinity representative to obtain pricing and receive your pistol. The International Distributor list available on the Infinity Firearms website: www.sviguns.com
Can I make changes to my design after an order is placed?
Changes can be accommodated for the first 90 days after the deposit is received. After 90 days any changes will result in a $100 change fee. In addition, if any major components are requested to be changed and (Slide, Frame, Grip, Barrel) have already been manufactured, a 15% restock fee will also be assessed.
Do you have a Print Catalog?
No, as all pistols we build are custom made design and because of the often updated options a printed catalog would become outdated too fast to properly represent the current offering .Please visit the Photo Gallery for pictures of the currently available products.
Can I call or email for a status check on my gun order?
Yes, you’re welcome to contact us via e-mail or by phone. You will be contacted just prior to shipping your order for final details.
Do you offer Chrome Plating as a finish option?
Our stated goal in manufacturing is to go further in innovation and quality. A large part of quality is longevity and reliability. Due to the hydrogen embrittlement implications of hard chroming we find this process is detrimental to the quality of the product. We use several proprietary coating technology alternatives that increase performance and longevity throughout the life of the pistol.
Should I get an AET barrel with my new pistol?
Our AET (Accuracy Enhancing Technology) is a revolutionary concept in barrel accuracy and featured as an option on Infinity® firearms.
Accuracy Enhancing Technology features include:
- Gain Twist rifling
- Variable width lands
- Optimum Feeding Angle curved ramp
- Special chamber entrance chamfer
- Gold colour Titanium Nitride finish
Our AET barrels will achieve premium accuracy with a quality jacketed projectile. The Titanium Nitride finish has an added benefit of greatly extending barrel life.
What material should I choose to use for my pistol?
Another advantage to manufacturing a complete billet 1911 in house is that we can efficiently manufacture the complete pistol in a variety of materials. We offer pistols built from carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium*, and titanium. (* Slides are not available in aluminium due to longevity concerns). The vast majority of our pistols are made from carbon steel (Blued ) or stainless steel (Silver or Duo-Tone). Aluminium offers an approximate 67% weight reduction when compared to carbon steel or stainless steel but longevity is a concern. Titanium offers an approximate 50% weight reduction when compared to carbon steel or stainless steel but the material and manufacturing cost is substantially higher. For some of the applications titanium material is not always the best option.
In 90% of our production, a titanium frame or slide would not be the best option for competition performance due to increased felt recoil. This is because of the overall weight of the pistol is cut in half. Titanium does offer corrosion resistance that can not be matched by using carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminium. Due to these properties we find the titanium material to be well suited for light weight carry applications.
Can I get a custom serial number?
Yes, all of our pistols are available with a custom serial number at no additional cost. Serial numbers can be up to 13 characters and MUST contain at least one number.
Do you have a price list for your guns?
Due to the custom nature of each pistol please use the “Customise your pistol” section for a quote. If you wish to replicate a design in our photo gallery please email or call us to provide the photo number and a quote can be provided.
