I didn't see anything about this posted yet.
Between 1942 and 1945, Ithaca Gun Company made 382,000 of the .45-caliber Model 1911-A1 pistols for our military. During that time Ithaca received a Certificate of Appreciation from the federal government for the improved manufacturing procedure for the triggers. Ithaca Gun Company announces the release of the new venerable Model 1911. Manufactured 100% right here in the USA at our factory in Upper Sandusky, OH. We’ve applied the same quality principals that go into our shotguns to this outstanding firearm. Starting with the frame and slide that are hand lapped to exacting fit for the owner that demands a precision firearm. The 1911’s will be available in the first quarter of 2011 with prices starting at $1,299. |

Quoted: Quoted: Looks good. Not $1300 good but good. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile How can you tell just by looking at a picture that its not worth $1300? I said it "looks good" as in aesthetics. Nothing about it prima facie seems to be worth $1300. I'm no psychic and do not have the power of x-ray vision but my post seems fairly clear. |

That looks a hell of a lot more appealing, and reasonable, than the earlier model they were touting.
The earlier model was tacky and overpriced, IMO. http://ezine.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=47 |

the last time these were talked about, the 1200 or so starting price was going to be for the base model, one similar to WWII production and then the price went up for the more expensive ones. if ithaca wanted to really hit the market running, they should change that adjustable sight to a fixed sight, and put the price at around 1K. i know they didnt actually manufacture this one, but all they had to do was get rid of the billboard sized rollmarks on their 50th anniversary model, add the checkering, and change the trigger  IMO, if they release a true WWII repro, and the high speed low drag model, they would be golden. |

I agree 100% lose the adjustable rear sight. How sweet would a wwII repro be!! |
