i don't know what to make of it. i was skeptical at first, but i've never heard anything bad about Magnum Research, in terms of quality. and, the price isn't bad, compared to other brand 1911s with the same features.

some people insist only Colts are real 1911s, others think that any new 1911, from any company, is tits. thoughts?

I have had many 1911s,,
The only ones I have now have a horsey on them.
There will be many opinions coming your way~~~
And they are all right~~~

wow i have to say for the price wow i mean i dont really know much about magnum research but that is a great lookin 1911 with all the features u pay a lot more for a colt, kimber, or SA. they also make a 4 inch model nice find

i'd like to shoot one, their other guns appear to be high quality to me. Price is right in line with a SA loaded, which is a damn fine gun.

i wanted to get a price on one at the shop when i priced the springer mil spec and glock 20 but forgot. its difinatly sweet looking

Colt may have led the way.....but improvements have been made.

CNC machining just opened the design up to most everyone and it really should cost less these days. Make the frame holes right and a drop in trigger of 3lbs is easy.

Is an $800 1911 really better than a $600 1911? I don't think so. I'd like to see a $700 norm with a 3lb trigger, beavertail, commander hammer, lowered and flared ejection port, decent sights and an interchangeable magwell.

That's doable.

Then....at the $1200 point every gun should lock up like a Baer....or be a double stack like a 2011.

I paid $300 for my Norinco and $350 for my Colt. I view $800 for a 1911 as highway robbery.

$800 will barely even get ya started in the 1911 game...

If they are built like the eagles I would buy one.

I'd love to see one and fondle one... I've shot a Baby Eagle and loved it, so I would expect the same kind of quality from MR.
