I had looked at Rock Island, Auto Ordnance and Tisas for as close to a military issue reproduction that I could find. I think this one is a winner and the price was right. The ejection port is raised like the originals. Plus it is parkerized and not cerakoted. The finish is nice and even.
It came with two sets of grips, walnut double diamond, but I opted for the included brown checkered.
Right side markings. "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY"
Serial number and importer are on the left side of the frame
Magazines are Mecgar and also Parkerized.
Im pretty impressed with it so far and put a 50 round box of Winchester 230 gr FMJ through it today without any issues. Sights are small GI style original, but seemed to be accurate. It is a tight fit frame to slide and bushing to barrel. I think I need to dig out my .45 acp dies and order up some 230 gr FMJ bullets. I need a lot more range time with it.
