Like you can do better
I don't know this westward guy, but by the looks of it... yeah, he could do better.
Anyone could do better. A blind monkey could do better.

Saw him last year and asked for a pic with him. He was a real douche. Didn't even break my stride passing his booth this year. He does a great job making a waste of a firearm.

For awhile he looked like he had it all successful business famous wife and then it all went downhill.. guess that is why he is in anything that can make a buck

Taste is relative.
Some will find Mr. James' aesthetic appealing. Many won't. I am very much in the second camp. I like subtlety and grace and guns that have either a "gentlemanly charm" to them or a style that reflects their utility. Mr. James' work - all of it, everything he's done, since forever - lacks subtlety, grace, and charm. At least to my eye.
Could I do better? No, I could not. But that's immaterial. I find his work garish, and about as subtle and sincere as a Vegas hooker's sales pitch, so I guess he was at least hawking it in an appropriate venue.
All that said, the actual execution of the engraving on the non-presidential 1911 is very, very nice. He obviously either has some talent, or has hired some. But even that's a bit overdone to my eye.

If I was a bad guy confronted by that AR with the dildo muzzle device, I might die on the spot....from laughing.

forges his 1911 by hand... moves out of comifornia to Texas to build guns.... supports 2A.... at least I know he wouldn’t throw gun owners under the bus....

This one looks like a post apocalyptic sci fi comic book gun. I kinda like it.
This is the AR I like also .
When I first looks at his guns a few years ago I thought, wow this could be cool. Coming up with his own designs, making some high end products but the more I looked into it the more I shy'd away from them.
On his AR's he uses Fortis products and a few other brands which are great, but when you build a rifle using Fortis, B5, Lantac etc etc. and then all you do is give it a custom cerakote job and add a custom wood stock, it doesn't really add up to $6000+ for an AR
Customize a KAC or HK and you're still under the price of Jesse's guns and have more features on it.
