Weigand Combat Handguns was established in 1982 by Jack Weigand and, after
experiencing immediate growth, Jack incorporated the business in 1985. Jack has spent all of his
adult life shooting, studying and working on firearms.
In 1985, when the idea of installing scopes on competition handguns was still in its infancy, Jack
began to apply his knowledge of extrusion applications he learned as a custom parts fabricator to
designing stronger, more versatile handgun mounting systems. This skill and expertise is reflected
today in his outstanding and innovative, lightweight scope mount designs.
Over the years, Jack has constantly strived to increase his ability, knowledge and
professionalism. This dedication to professionalism is demonstrated in the following list of
accomplishments:
1999 Pistolsmith of the Year (American Pistolsmiths Guild) President of the American Pistolsmiths Guild 2000, 2001, 2002 Presidents Award Winner 2000 and 2003 American Pistolsmiths Guild Member, American Pistolsmiths Guild Double Action Revolver Inspector for prospective applicants 1911 Inspector for prospective applicants Nominated Pistolsmith of the Year, 1998 Panel Member of "Ask the Experts" Shooting Times Magazine Former Custom Shop Director, Springfield Armory Design Consultant, Taurus Custom Shop American Handgunner Magazine "Club 100" NRA Life Member NRA Pistolsmithing Instructor (9 Years at Montgomery Community College summer seminars) NRA Certified Firearms Instructor
