Unrivaled Craftsmanship & Provenance

The FCC Pistols are built on a foundation of precision-forged carbon or stainless steel. KRC’s CEO Matt Riker and Sales Manager John May began experimenting with Color Case Hardening in 2005; their persistence led to the distinctive, highly colorful CCH finishes now executed in partnership with Parkwest Arms and other specialist finish houses. Each FCC pistol is the result of meticulous part preparation, controlled hardening, and multi-stage finishing designed to produce the most vivid Color Case Hardening in the industry.
