CZ 1911A1

[SonnyCrockett]

She has arrived !

I am not sure what these guys were thinking when they came up with this GI model idea, forged frame,no MIM.hand fitted

slick looking ww2 copy for low $700s? A super tight well machined classic that has the looks of a boring GI pistol with the 

engine of a turbo vette under the hood,....This thing is a sleeper !  Quality is amazing and talk about tight,this thing is tighter

than any 1911 I have ever picked up .
 

 

 

Going to hit the range today and try this baby out !

Looks awesome!!

[tercel89]

Is it the series 70 style ?

[mhl6493]

Man, that looks awesome!  I had heard conflicting reports about the lack of MIM parts in the CZ 1911.  Can we say for sure that it is MIM-free?  If so, that is a steal for the low $700's...

Yessir! CZ don't make no junk. Love those big wide fixed sights!

[Trekbike]

So this is a CZ that's USA made?

Silly question... are these basically CZ branded DW made 1911s?

Is it safe to call this a poor man's Dan Wesson then? :)

I sent an email to CZ Support to try to get some clarification on the MIM parts question.  Here is the response I just received:  

 

Yes it does have MIM parts in it.  Although many people will say MIM parts are a much lower quality, there isn’t really much difference in the process when put through actual testing.  I don’t have the exact list of which parts are MIM, but it is probably the best 1911 for the money on the market right now.  We are also only producing the 1,000 we planned, and not making any more.

MIM parts or not, still looks like a great gun - and if you want one, you better jump on it now...

[hipower]

I GOT ONE!!!!

 

Called Christopher Watson, and he helped me find a dealer with one in stock. Every CZ rep I have spoken with has been fantastic. These guys know how to please their customers.

Thanks for posting the CZ information. That pretty much solidified my decision on the pistol.

 

I called Chris, and surprisingly got to him immediately. Very friendly fellow. Told him what I wanted, and I knew that they most likely wouldn't sell direct on this.

 

But Chris was very helpful, above and beyond the call I would say. He went thru dealer listings for me and found one that showed to still have one available.

 

Gave me their phone number and said good luck.

 

Can't get much better in customer relations that this.

 

So...I have one on the way.

 

Thanks CZ, Elk County Ammo & Arms and of course the man responsible for this today...mhl6493!

Hmm. Now doesn't that just look like the ideal replacement handgun for the Next military service pistol?

[Grand Torino]

That's a beauty...congratulations on the new pistola. :up:

[SonnyCrockett]

I heard someone say the grip safety and mag release might be cast but the hammer and ignition parts are tool steel

as well as the rest..even the sales guy does not know..LOL

Without a doubt,,,,,,Its a GI DW ...

This has got to be a "soft launch". Why run a limited production of the barest bones 1911 of all time? Definitely don't shoot it though, till you see what happens with them, lol.

Damnit, now I want one, and I didn't even know they existed til just a few minutes ago...

[hipower]

I didn't either till this morning. lol

[tnhawk]

Congrats on a nice pistol!

Same here. I want one too

Only 1000 or not, I'd have to shoot it though! Edited August 15, 2015 by Wingshooter
