    And I thunk my 20 yr old Wilson Combat was expensive. Nice to have these things being made…but c’mon. With decent 1911s priced from 450 out the door 1000 dollar Kimbers and this at this price point…how many can they realistically expect to sell??

    Nice piece and I’d love to have one.

    For $4500, though…not ever going to happen.
