Gotta get past that, bro.

Look at the tool as a whole…. Law enforcement agencies do not approve / carry Atlases or Sandhawks, but they do Staccato / XCs.

These are higher tier “1911s” that you can actually trust in combat.

The polymer works just fine and has a purpose. Look at Glock… lol.

You have the money…. This is Sunday brunch for you.

Then again, Sandhawk would be BADASS!

Fair. But: I could give AF what LEO agencies approve. LAPD SWAT chose Kimber's entry level 1911 LOL.

What other $4k handguns have plastic parts? Serious question. (I am not aware of a 1911 >$3k that even has MIM parts.....)

Here is the kicker…. Yes, you might not care about what certain agencies endorse for duty use, but I bet $500 bones (;))….

That you do care about reliability and resiliency of your weapons. And the quality of your product.

What this weapon sacrifices in “luxuries”, it makes up for in capability… This while still maintaining a high degree of craftsmanship.

Anyways, obviously, you do you, booboo!

Took my Beretta X to a Gun Smith and they said they didn't want to touch it. Said send it to Beretta and let them fix it because it's an X. He played with it, showed a couple other people and thought it was acting strange. It fires with the slide off, not with the slide on. At the range the other day it was not firing if you squeezed the trigger all to the rear and then sometimes would. Very sloppily however if it did. Like brakes with air in the lines. The round that blew up in the chamber def did something bad. FTL

This is not aimed at you, just in general.

Speaking of MIM parts, I had to Google exactly what that is.

With that said, I have seen people focus on forged vs Mim all the time specially in the 1911 scene. I see no proof that forged parts undergo non destructive testing or any testing for cracks etc before or after they are machined.

We have that or similar process done A LOT in the machine shop I work at for both our parts and our customer parts. I have been in quality control for a long time in a machine shop.

The whole forged/Mim is in someway marketing just as "billet" is used in market for aftermarket parts in the motorsports scene. The product should be engineered to be reliable. Just my two cents.

Saw these today at a new gun store I visited. Never owned a Sig but these were definitely interesting.

Hooker...I know it's ROSE in name. I thought we was on the same page on that aspect.

Your eyes must interpret color much differently… it does not look copper to me at all…. Your CZ does…. The 365… not.

The rose color looks good to me. I never seen one in person. I would not own one for the same reason I wouldn't wont own a miata.
Yeah I thought it was bronze when I saw it in the glass case. Might have been the lighting. They should def make that if they don't. I shot the 9mm at the range and my first round was dead center and my friend the owner was like damn. First time I ever fired a Sig.
