Quote HistoryQuoted: Lame. Why buy this over a tisas or rock? I love 1911s, but there is no reason to buy a PSA one instead of whatever other bargain brand. Give us a 2011 that takes glock/dagger mags for $799 or stfu. Also, where MP5, where krink, where jakl 9, etc? Agreed. Just skip the BS and offer us a poor mans Staccato that takes Glock mags. I think Century/MKE and the weak Turkish lira killed the PSA MP5. I’m not upset about it. |

The mp5 was supposed to be under a grand wasn't it, the turk clones are still around 1300. Honestly I was getting the impression that the MP5 was gonna turn into the jakl 9, but I'm starting to think neither is gonna happen. To say nothing of the promised dragunovs... |

Not quite enough to tempt me away from the dark side w my Glocks, but it's interesting. I've got 1911s. I used to carry them and shot them quite a bit growing up. I like the way they feel in my hand, but the ugly guns w/ no soul are light, carry easy, hold lots of ammo, and seem almost impervious to rust.

Just to confirm, the A1 model is on their labor day email ads for $399 (with "reg $499" indicated), tactical is $499.
I've been wanting a 1911, though I was eyeing Tisas - I'll probably get one of these tactical models eventually to support PSA... |

I don't mind paying a little extra but why is it so difficult just to sell a blued 1911 for a good deal?
No bells and whistles, Turkish is fine, but a glossy blue, not more parkerized or matte black that we already have 100 options in this price range. There is countless videos on youtube of guys in India or Bangladesh in flip flops hand polishing stuff so don't tell me it's too time consuming. If you can weld a broken diesel crankshaft and hand polish it, I don't think a small 1911 frame will give you that much issues. You have Tisa, RIA, Springfield, Palmetto, etc... and they just keep making more redundant models. Just a deep blued 1911 GI spec. That's it. Right now there is that Colt Royal blue 1911 and nothing else under $1000. Why not a offer a new 1911 that doesn't have comparable competition rather than the same model that 10 manufacturers offer? |

They've since removed that post. didnt think to get a screenshot of it when i saw it, but take that for what you will. That would certainly explain why they blew out the RIA stamped guns at bargain prices not long ago |
