PSA 1911 anyone know anything?

[Matt8090]

I was just perusing the Palmetto State Armory site and saw these new 1911s they are offering. Anyone heard anything on these yet? At $799 I can think of others in that price range like the Springfield Range Officer that are amazing 1911s for the money. This one seems to be brand new to the market though...

Never held one, but it looks like it has some options that you generally don't see on a basic 1911.

I was wondering about it too. Pretty picture.

You can buy a new Colt Competition series of pistol for that price.  PSA or Colt?  Let me think about that one.  LOL

I would have to think about it too, Colt is not what it used to be. :hiding:

Bought a lot from PSA with no issues. If I wanted another 1911, I wouldn't be afraid to try it.

I like the ramped barrel, it does seem to me to be more reliable in feeding different types of bullet shapes.

Is it made in the USA or the Philippines?  I didn't see anywhere on their website as to the country of manufacture.

I emailed PSA, they say all the parts are manufactured in South Carolina.

Yeah, For that kind of money I can get a Springfield Loaded or Range Office. And for a little cheaper too.

Buy a Springfield Loaded.

Still made in Brazil?

[DJTC45]

Some of the Light Wheight Alum.Frame are marked made in Brazil, the loaded frames are marked NM GENSCO ILL. I believe the NM marked Frames are forged somewhere and all machineing and fitting are done here in the US.
