Precision. Detail. Creativity—taken to another level.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Charles at for around 3 years now, and I can confidently say—this isn’t just Cerakote, this is craftsmanship.

From challenge coins to pistol and rifle magazines, to full firearm builds and accessories, his capability is unmatched. Whether you’re looking for a clean single coat, multi-color work, or a fully custom design, he has the skillset to bring your vision to life.

And chances are—you’ve already seen his work without even realizing it.

Charles has created:
• Man Cards for Achilles Heel Tactical
• Ammo cans for Hops Munitions

There’s a high probability something you own or have seen in the industry has already gone through his hands.

What sets him apart is his mindset—Charles is a true perfectionist. He doesn’t rush jobs to push volume. He takes his time, dials in the details, and delivers top-tier quality every single time. That’s something I respect heavily.

💥 Prices vary based on:

THE CHECK DRILL – 50 YARDS | HOSTAGE TARGET

Two attempts. No excuses.

This drill isn’t about showing off—it’s about checking your ego.

At 50 yards on a hostage target, there’s no room for guessing, hoping, or luck. This is where shooters find out if they truly understand their capabilities—or if they’ve been overestimating them.

Michael stepped up knowing exactly where he stood.

Before the drill even started, he told the class:
“If I don’t get it on the first, I’ll get it on the second.”

Missed the first.

Adjusted.

Executed perfectly on the second.

That’s what disciplined training looks like.

As an instructor, Michael continues to push his limits—not blindly, but with purpose. He understands his skillset, makes corrections, and performs under pressure.

That’s the standard.

If you carry a firearm, you owe it to yourself and everyone around you to:

* Know your limits
* Train with intention
* Remove ego from the equation

Confidence comes from competence—not assumption.

Persistence and courage.
Fast. Fierce. Focused.

🔥 Walther PDP Steel Frame 4.5” – My New Go-To 🔥

Big shoutout to my buddy Kurt over at Quill’s Firearm Training for helping me get my hands on this Walther PDP Steel Frame 4.5”… and this thing absolutely delivers.

* Time correction 25 yards shot 5 rounds in 2.75-2.76 not 2.5 “CORRECTION”

I had my good friend Charles at Creative Freedom and Aaron at Tierney Arms take it to the next level with:
✔️ Chevron porting
✔️ Slide cut work
✔️ Custom FDE coating

Paired that with:
✔️ FDE grips from LOK Grips
✔️ ZR Tactical guide rod setup (Long Stroke + V-Spec)

And the result?
👉 Flat shooting
👉 Ultra smooth cycling
👉 Reliable across the board

This platform ran flawlessly. No hiccups. No excuses.

This is now officially:
✔️ My primary instructor gun
✔️ My everyday carry

If you’re serious about performance, control, and reliability—this setup is hard to beat.

Highly recommend checking out these guys and the work they’re putting out.
