I think this is a pretty good read. The answer to your question is that it is in fact cast. |

Definately investment cast. That is why there are so many flaws with them. Quite a few 1911's now a days are investment cast. |

'Cast' may be a '4-letter' word, but that doesn't make it bad. IIRC, the new Ruger 1911 uses a cast frame AND slide.

Thanks for the refresher! BTW......no one seems to be complaining that all the BHPs, since about 1990, have CAST frames.

It's a cast frame..you can just barely see a cast line...and the inside of my dustcover is a bit rough cast on one side. Rest of the frame looks fine..don't know why the inside of the dustcover is so poorly cast..but seems like many are like mine.
Gun runs great though..I like the shit out of it..I've been wearing the finish off shooting and carrying it...up to approx. 800 rounds pretty much trouble-free. |

I really wanted one until I read NAVYMAN8903's thread about his R1 ordeal.
