I saw a Turkish made 1911 called/made by "Regent". It was priced at $460. I have never seen or heard of this brand before. Anybody hear of these?
ETA: the store said they had gotten it (they are brand new) about a month ago, so I would assume its a new import. |

I saw one 2 weeks ago at the Louisville gun show, and then again last week at the Cave City gun show. Price was <$400.
The hammer spur is the wide style. The stocks look like the old GI plastic stocks, sort of. Not the prettiest .45 I have ever seen. Even the RIA beats it cosmetically. Don't know anything about functioning, durability, finish, or anything else. Charles Daly used to import Turkish made shotguns, and there is a Stoeger brand shotgun made in Turkey, that looks like it is a Benelli design. I understand Beretta owns both Stoeger and Benelli, so this is entirely possible. Hopefully, these Turkish imports are of as high a quality as the Armscor guns. I am eagerly awaiting a range report. |
