I had one that I eventually sold. It was your basic 1911 with VERY sharp edges(badly needed dehorning), and a bit loose, but shot about like an issued GI 1911 used to. I put some better stuff into it, and it ran better, and the new barrel tightened up the accuracy a bit, but definately NOT a carry gun out of the box. In my opinion, these are good guns to use as a base for a project 1911, nothing more.
