Cdnn 1911

The very fact that a brand or even a country of origin is not listed would make quite wary indeed. I would take a pass on this and wait to see how these "super deals" pan out quality wise.

That price would be low, but not be out of line for an RIA "standard" model wit GI sights, no beavertail, spur hammer, and very plain grips.

If "GI" is what you want the RIA is a great place to start.

I suspect if you call them they will tell you who makes it.

I'll bet it is another made in Philippines gun.

Did anyone call and ask?

CDNN Regent IAC 1911 for $349

I called today... it is a Regent IAC 1911 for $349

RIA GI's are closer to $430 and up.

Buds has RIA GI for $385 shipped to your FF which means it would cost me $395.

Looks interesting-ish. Good chance that it's a Phillipine gun coming out of those same plants that make the rest of them.

Truthfully though, I have little interest in a GI model. They like their "R-200" model which is stainless with the common upgrades (bobbed hammer, beavertail grip, and novak sights) as "Coming Soon". If I was to get one I'd be holding out for that one.

not phillipines...turkey

this should be interesting. I can't wait to hear from someone who has one.

I saw those in the latest catalog too. Pretty exciting to see a 1911 that cheap!

But like everyone I am a bit suspicious.

I found this review, go to the second page for a fairly lengthy post on the pistol.
