A jig for supporting an M1911 pistols includes a superstructure rigidly mounted onto a base so as to extend upwardly therefrom. The superstructure may be positioned substantially medially along the length of the base. A first detent is formed in the base, adjacent the superstructure and positioned substantially medially across the width. The first detent is shaped to accept cradled snugly therein a lowermost portion of a pistol grip of the M1911 pistol. A second detent is formed in the base, substantially underneath the superstructure, and is shaped to snugly accept cradled therein a hammer portion of the M1911 pistol. An uppermost end of the superstructure has a barrel receiving yoke shaped to receive cradled snugly therein the barrel of the M1911 pistol. The second detent in the base is directly underneath the yoke so as to maintain the barrel of the M1911 pistol pointing vertically upwards.
