I just got thru lookin at one of my newest gun magazines, and there was two articles about custom 1911's. What really get's me is that the price is always over 2grand! My question is who buy's these things I for one could not afford a 2K pistol. My $800 dollar kimber shoots better than me. So what could one get out of owning one of these.
They claim tight fitting slide to frame and all the other bells and whistles, but back in the days everybody want a sloppy fit 1911 for reliablilty purposes, my kimber jams if not cleaned on a regular basis, but my RIA works no matter what. And as far as accuracy I can hit a man size target at fifty yards with both. So what is the big deal with these high dollar pistols is it just a status thing or what?
just my 2 cents worth so flame away!
