I'm kicking around the idea of sending a Mil-Spec off to YoBo for one of their 1* packages; anyone care to share the expereinces with the various setups? I'm leaning towards the Enhanced or Elite setups.

Also, what are the current turn around times on the guns?

I like the 1* Enhanced.......it just sings to me.

Im my humble opinion they are the best in the business when it comes to 1911's.  I have had several of their 1911's and have a LWT Commander coming this month.  I've dealt with a lot of 1911 smiths and custom shops, and I have yet to find a shop that has the depth of knowledge the YOBO guys have.  They truly know what it takes to make a 1911 run forever.  

Their turnaound times are not bad at all, and have been decreasing as of late.  Here is a Yost 1* for a Yost 1* I recently had built for my dad.

They are one of the best. I haven't heard anyone say anything negative about them.

Check with Yost-Bonitz on their quoted turn around time. It varies.

I have a pre 70 series Colt Lwt Commander that I sent in for their 1* Enhanced package. They should be shipping it back to me in the next month or so. Can't wait to get it back. Once I do, I will provide a range report.

I had a 1* enhanced built less than two years ago.  The turn around time wasn't bad and the pistol was a work of art.  I've had several high end 1911's including Wilsons and a Springfield Pro.  The YoBo was definitely one of the best I've owned.  I sold it to go to a dedicated light rail gun and regret it quite often.

Stop Kicking and start Shipping! It will be one of those guns you'll never put down, and when the time comes, you'll be proud to hand it down.

Call Jason at the shop, he'll give you an idea of the turn around time.

Build it on a Colt. If you get in a pinch you can flip it for what you paid in a week. Springfields are just as good mechanically but not as desirable.

Most of you have probably noticed I really like Yost-Bonitz.

You can easily sell a YOBO Colt if you don't like it.

My friend has a 1* and he loves it. I got the oportunity to put several hundred rounds through it. All types of ammo with zero hiccups. The gun shoots better than I can. It's hard to beat.
