The story of Strayer-Voigt, Inc. began in 1994, when Sandy Strayer, a visionary designer and co-patent holder of the modular 2011 frame, left STI International to pursue a new direction in handgun innovation. Teaming up with world-class competitive shooter Michael Voigt, Strayer set out to create a company that would redefine the standards of custom pistol manufacturing. Their collaboration led to the birth of SVI and the Infinity Firearms brand, introducing the revolutionary double-stack 1911 platform that would become the gold standard in competitive shooting. Overcoming the challenges of a crowded market and the technical demands of elite shooters, SVI distinguished itself by offering fully custom, made-to-order pistols built with unmatched precision and reliability. Major milestones include the development of proprietary modular frames, the adoption of advanced materials, and a steadfast commitment to quality control—every component is manufactured in-house to exacting standards. Today, under the stewardship of the Strayer family’s second generation, SVI continues to serve a global clientele of competitive shooters, law enforcement professionals, and discerning enthusiasts. The company’s vision remains rooted in innovation, craftsmanship, and a passion for pushing the limits of handgun performance.
