They are saying a complete gun in a box for $399.
That will be attractive to many folks i'm thinking. Edit: I just signed up to be kept in the loop also. |

I subscribed to their email list. I'll try one out, if $400 for complete kit.

I would tend to think that those polymer frames will never hold up long term. Heck, even some aluminum frames from the past have been known to crack from heavy use; IE: More than 5k rounds. Do what you want, but I would never build a 1911 on a polymer frame. The newer aluminum alloys would be superior to polymer IMHO.

Cool in theory. Hopefully they are $99 or less for those of us that already have the rest of the parts...

their facebook page went dark about 3 months ago.
My guess is they are nine months to a year out. I was pretty surprised when they said they were going to launch rite away after shot. Usually stuff hits delays. |

I love 1911s and enjoy the purity of an all steel government monster. BUT I always thought it would be sweet to take the good part of Glocks (plastic and lightweight bottom) and utilize the better parts of a 1911 (single action trigger and skinny slide). a polymer gripped officer would be great. I would own only STIs if it wasn't for the cost, as they seem to maximize all this good stuff. Now if they do a kit that takes M&P or glock mags? that would be the shit.

I like the concept, I would be interested in a 9mm platform.

IIRC there was a guy at the Nations Gunshow a few shows back selling them,
80% frame came in a plastic jig, last show I believe he only had 80% glocks, I cannot remember what brand they were |

So they take the classic 1911 and copy one of the worst features of eurotrash pistols - the stupid cutout behind the trigger where the support hand gets all its grip from?

I have seen kits like this at gun shows in the last few years.

Liberty 1911 appears to have gone tits up.
They deleted their Facebook page and haven't responded to their Instagram account (where they were most active) in about 2 weeks. I really wanted one of these. Damn. Now I have to put this in the file where the flying car I put a deposit on 5 years ago is. |

We are still going, these things take time to get into production. We literally spent 3-5 hours a day answering the exact same questions, every day, and that is no exaggeration. Lot of moving parts to get together to bring something like this to market...

Foxtrot-Mike,
I'm sympathetic what it takes to bring something to market. I started the patent process on a medical device in 2006, and we are just now getting into clinical testing (as opposed to cadavers). That said, how much effort does it take to make a simple video once a month that answers most of the questions that you get asked ad infinitum? Lenny Magill did that for the SS80 and it has helped his company maintain it's loyal customers. Just throw something up on YouTube every 4 weeks, even if the production values on the video suck. People are sympathetic to your getting dicked around by the ATF. Make use of that. You don't have to be openly hostile to them, just let the public know what's happening. It will take 30 minutes. G. |

They may be held up on the atf approval like glock store and the ss80.
