Wow!

Wow... $289 after rebate. Tempting

Heck of a deal for an entry level 1911.  If that that is your budget it may be a good gun for you.  I'm a sucker for a bargain but I was lucky enough to get a good high end 1911 at a time in my life when I had some excess income and honestly have no desire to enter into the budget 1911 market.  Again not putting this gun down, just saying if you can afford a nice one buy it and don't look back.

Anyone actually get one yet, several people on a different forum I am on picked them up the first time around, but haven't seen an actual review yet.

Was told a few weeks ago on an order I placed on a clearance item that they oversell them all the time, she didn't give exact numbers on that one I bought, but made it sound like there was a large amount of overselling it.  Would guess that a $300 1911 would be worse.

Does anyone know anything about these? That's a hell of a price.

I bought one of these in December 2013 for more than that. It was a good little gun. I ended up selling it off for no good reason. My buddy bought one about 2 months ago. 200 rounds of .45 (brass, steel, reloads, hollow points) through it without a problem, and an accurate little gun. The trigger is absolutely atrocious, but for $300, what the hell? I say it's a good buy.

Just be aware, he had to take a picture of the 4473 form filled out to get the rebate. Not sure if that has changed or not.
