Under $630.00, very well made and finished,
slide to frame tight, safe, accurate and boringly
reliable from the get go. Shot all my different
reloads I tried in it.

I have no doubt that this SR1911 would do
just fine in an emergency. Don’t need no
stinking $3200 gun, just don’t bring a
knife to a gun fight!
