I've read a bit about these, and after seeing the price, I thought I'd give one a try. It came in this afternoon. In my opinion, this gun is a steal! It has a great trigger, nice checkered wood grip panels, adjustable three dot sights, an ambi safety, and many more features you'd find on a high end custom 1911. It is a full size, steel 1911, and feels, fieldstrips, and operates just like it's 45 cal big brother. For less $ than you can buy a 22 conversion, you get the entire pistol. Oh yeah.....it shoots great! Much better than I'm capable of.
The only downsides I see is that the sights, while fine, are made of plastic. Also the spare mags are quite expensive. I also don't care for the white letter billboard appearance they decided to give the sides. These gripes are just nit picky. For around $300, it's a heckofa lot of fun, and a 1911 you can afford to shoot.
