I was browsing the SOG website just now and got to thinking.

1911s are so popular, as is the 9mm loading, and there have been a couple threads lately talking about 9mm conversions and the like.
Sog is selling Star Model Bs in 9mm for $139. Extra mags are $10. Sure it's not technically a Govt. Model, but this gun is 95% 1911 at a fourth the price. The cost of a beavertail. Even considering the supposedly softish metal and used condition, these guns will shoot as well as any other stock 1911 in every important way.
Yet they're not rolling out the door at near the rate of the Makarovs. It just strikes me as bizarre.
HEY, WAKE UP! 9MM 1911S FOR $140!
