Fusion is the same guy who built the 1911's for Dan Wesson which he owned at the time. I have heard some complaints about some guns being finicky. My buddy has a long slid hunter in 10mm. It runs fine and is very accurate, but it has a sizable gap between the main spring housing and the beaver tail which I think for the money should look better.

My experience with Fusion building a 1911 was a complete train wreck, expensive and a waste of my time.

PM if you want details.

If you've got an Ed Brown pistol, you have no need for Fusion Firearms, and you're already far ahead of the game.

Appreciate what you've got and don't waste your money.

Wait...were you going for a fully build by Fusion OR were you going to build the gun from a kit?



There is a difference.  You have to know 1911s really, really well and you have to have all of the proper tools to do a 1911 build from raw parts.



One of Bob's builds however, should rock out of the box.

Take a look at Infinity's Gun Builder program if you're interested in spec'ing out a custom build.   They aren't cheap but they are worth it.

You can create an account for free and begin building designs immediately.  When you have one you like, you can send it to the factory to get a quote.

You should be fine.  Give Bob all the specs and preferences that you need and he should be able to have his crew turn out something nice for you.

I wouldn't buy a fusion. If you want something different, check out the guncrafter industries "no name".

You'd be hard pressed to do better than a gun put together by Tibbetts.

A co-worker's Fusion came out like male cow fertilizer, and Fusion would not fix it.

Have a 10mm longslide Fusion.

NEVER again.
Junk.

Even got the pleasure of having Bob Serva call me a liar right here.
