An Official Journal Of The NRA | Review: SDS Imports 1911 A1 US Army

The word “classic,” when applied to pistols, often brings to mind the iconic M1911A1, a gun that nearly all enthusiasts would love to have in their collection.

In a world of $1000-$5,000 1911's, the above is $365 from GunDock.
tested well by NRA.

A real truck gun for sure.

Damn... I need another pistol about as bad as I need another hole in my pointy head but that's a good deal.

Anyone know if these are cast or forged? Just curious.

My old eyes and the G.I. sights may not get along too well but at that price I'll figger it out.

Thanks for the heads up V Guy.

Looked at a couple of them at the funshow last week in Allen. They look pretty darned good for the price. I bet they would be a great start for a custom 1911

Forged. I got one a while back, photos and all here in this forum. Great guns for under $400!

I bought one on your recommendation and am very impressed with it so far. Seems to be well made, it's tight with good trigger and accuracy to match.

I got one of these on order. I saw some grossly over priced ones in gun shops so I didn't feel bad about looking there and buying elsewhere. At the $350 ($400 by the time it hits my hands) it was hard to go any other direction for a gi clone. At the worst I'll strip it down and refinish and rebuild it but it might be just fine out the box. Just need something more correct to shoot at 2 gun with my m1.

Personally, I kind of like the gussied up models with the Knovac style sights, beaver grip and such. Don’t like them front slide serrations howsomever.
Looking at their Commander models , but already got a Colt and a Springer, so maybe not.

Mine showed up. Mostly okay.... the guide rod keeps getting hung up somewhere and makes taking it apart and putting it back together a pain. I can't figure out what the hell is going on. Works just fine though.

Oh man, nice job by The Turks!... perhaps we could slide that Steyr StG-58 tooling on down to them and get some perfect repros, incl. sear-cut... heh heh heh...
