I can almost guarantee I won't like his style of 1911. I'm not a fan of the "biker" image for me personally. Just ain't my style.
But I bet he can make a good 1911. It can't be that hard considering we now have $400 rock island 1911s and Taurus 1911s lol |

Ya know, from a marketing standpoint ( and this is ALL it amounts to ) it is a good idea for STI.
They don't have to stick their name on some gaudy flashy piece of shit and the name of JJ will draw certain types into the 1911 game. It really is a win win for all involved in the business end. 'Merica dam it!! |

"Whenever I’ve done something because my motivation was money, it never works out. I’m doing this because I have a passion for it — making one gun at a time, one bike at a time," James said.
I'll give him a chance. It's not like it can hurt anything

I'd buy one of his firearms, if I can afford it
He takes his craft seriously. I don't think a pistol is going to throw him for a loop. He apprenticed under Uri Hofi in 2009

I would think he would be hiring the best machinist / gunsmiths. Doubt he will be doing all the work himself. And its possible he still has nudes of Sandra he could share in BOTD if we are nice. Or just IM me some.

His guns will undoubtedly sell to those guys who don't know a lot about how to shoot, or worse yet hold their guns sideways. Guns will probably smell like cigarettes, grease, and farts. "Ballers" will eat em up!

A master fabricator is throwing his hat in the 1911 game and GD has written him off after one article because "he's a douche" 
Im interested in what he can do. No doubt the prices will be astronomical. This. I've seen his work and he is good at what he does. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to make the 1911's and anything based on the AR platform. It's all about quality materials and quality control. Plus, it's good P.R. for us. Seems like a win, win for us to me. |

They're going to get a $2,000 gun and a $8000 marketing scheme. And they'll praise it to the high heavens because marketing works like a charm. Marketing is a form of brainwashing. The human mind works on associations, it associates one thing with another. When Michael Jackson was doing pepsi commercials, it makes the hardcore Michael; Jackson fans transfer their emotional bond from Jackson to pepsi. That's why they paid him millions Did you know that those entry level Rolex watches they sold back in the 1950s cost $550 in today's dollars? The same exact watch costs around $3500 today. Clever marketing and snob appeal is a license to print money. Our entire fucked up consumer culture is built on it. So line up, guys, and buy your fabulous new katana from a beginner with a huge public image. Whatever you do, don't buy from a factory that has been making the gun from scratch for 50 or 100 years.

Seriously?? LOL!! I guess those people that buy Paris Hilton, P- Diddy, Fiddy Cent, etc. products that bear their names do so because marketing has nothing to do with it. I bet their products are just superior to others that have been on the market for decades. |
