         Jesse James, the famous heavily-tattooed chopper builder, moved to Texas not too long ago and got into the business of building custom pistols and rifles as Jesse James Firearms Unlimited.This week James shared photos of a pair of Cisco 1911 pistols that he made for two famous friends, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, at his Austin workshop.James' 1911s weigh a little under three pounds and come with a combat hammer, fixed sights, and an ambidextrous thumb safety. The twin pistols come with custom engravings, with Pitt’s saying “Big Papa” and Jolie’s “Mama Knows Best” on the slides. Her weapon is a 9-millimeter and his is a .45. Pitt has been an outspoken supporter of gun rights in America as of late, recently commenting on his own gun ownership going back decades to getting a BB gun when he was barely in elementary school.“America is a country founded on guns,” Pitt told the Daily Mail. “It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange, but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere.” His wife has echoed his sentiments as well, stating that she had no problem defending their family and home with a firearm. The two were wed in 2014 and they have several children together.
