Wow!
What a deal.
We were paying more than that for 1911’s that were 50 years old…. 30 years ago.
I don’t need one but that is a great deal.
That uaw strike shows what’s in store for AmericaShame these great deal guns aren't made in America.

I might could agree with that...but a 1911...Let’s please not start counting the things we routinely buy that are not made in America.

The reality of current life is that “made in America” is as scarce as hen’s teeth in todays global economy.
Any manufacturer that tries to produce such a product is playing against a stacked deck.
Yep, wonder where those workers are gonna work when America decides 100k for a 1/2 ton pickup truck is too much. All this is going to do is drive up prices on an already pinched consumer base. They'll be looking at foreign options. Buddy just left Ford and bought his first ToyotaThat uaw strike shows what’s in store for America
Toyota and Nissan are much more American made than Ford or Chevy nowadays. There is nothing much mechanical left that is made down to the last part in the US.And while we all like to wave the American flag, generally we are not as dedicated to made in USA and we like to portray.
Think Zeiss, Vortex, Toyota, Kubota, Yamaha, Honda, on and on.
Even if assembled in USA - make no mistake, most are foreign.
It would be a very, very difficult task to carve out all the foreign made consumables from my house.....cellphone & other electronics included.
When shopping for a 1911, however, it is easy to do.
I suppose I'll get on my hypocritical soapbox and feel good about the 1911, at least.
It's not much....but it's a hill I'll die on.
Now.....I'm heading to the kitchen to fire up my foriegn made coffee machine to brew up a pot of liquid gold after first grinding the righteous beans that were grown in foreign soil.
Conflicted way of going things.....it ain't purty, but it's how I roll.
