2000's: The Third Generation

In 2004, at the age of 18, Ben Hayes began his training at Clark Custom Guns. Under the leadership of his Uncle, Jim Clark Jr., Ben quickly became the head 1911 builder for Clark and continues the family tradition of crafting some of the finest 1911 pistols available.

Standing on the shoulders of some of the most respected gunsmiths in the world, Ben continues to refine his style and hone his craft, blending modern refinement with the soul of traditional gunsmithing.
