The frames are cast, if you watch the video it shows them making the ceramic mold then casting them.
Personally if I’m going to buy another 1911 it will be one that is about 30-40 years old like my last one. I just don’t see the quality in the prices of the new ones.

I think the frames are cast (I remember reading on another site they also do Caspian’s frame). Not knowing much about the 1911, it seems that the main selling point is that you get a fairly well equipped, presumably well made, all American 1911 for the price of a mid-range Brazilian made Taurus or Springfield. Or, other words, it promises a $1,000 gun for $800.

Three questions:

1. Are the frames investment cast or billet CNC machined?

2. What do they offer that is not already available on any other 1911.
Just what we need is another 1911 clone.

3. When will Ruger come out with a Mauser, pre-64 Winchester and a Remington 700 clone?

Nor in Maryland.
