I think these are nice looking pistols. It is truly the golden age of firearms manufacturing, design and options. I luckily have more 1911's than one man needs so probably wont buy a new one anytime soon. It is interesting how some are so meh on anything they don't personally have. I have nothing against any 1911 if it works. The whole boycott SA thing is getting a little long in the tooth. They made some mistakes and have since re-thought that in the case of the Illinois gun laws. Maybe i am missing something with that. Haters hate Colt, Hate Kimber, Hate Springfield Armory, Hate Ruger etc. But i would guess in most cases those haters have never owned or don't currently own any of those 1911's. I'd own any of them if they shoot accurately and reliably. What about STI/Staccato, Dan Wesson, Nighthawk, S&W the list goes on do they suck too... I like all guns especially 1911's, the woman analogy is great. I drive GM and Jeep vehicles but i appreciate Ferrari's and Bugatti's. I'll never own one but i don't hate those that do and can afford them. The more options on the market the better. Shows a healthy industry.
