I don't know if the "loaded" guns come from their custom shop, but their custom shop guns are very well built. If it doesn't say "Made in Brazil" on the frame, it's an American built version, probably from the custom shop. The frame and slide are made by Imbel in Brazil, but the gun is finished in the US. I have a Custom Shop Trophy Match Longslide that is one of the most accurate 1911's I own.

The price you state sounds pretty good to me.
