Description

Palmetto State Armory 1911 Pistols - Palmetto State Armory, the online retailer, had two prototype 1911 pistols on display which they are producing in-house. Instead of trying to compete in the low-end market, these prototypes were match grade pistols with a high level of hand finishing. I asked the company representative what the retail price would be. He replied that they had not determined pricing but because they were match grade we should expect them to be priced accordingly.

Two models were on display. One had a stainless finish, the other had a finish that looked parkerized. I am ashamed to admit I forgot to ask the rep that the finish was. In any case, the final production guns may be different to these prototypes. The checkering on the front and back strap, combined with grippy grips, mean you are not likely to lose control even if your hands are sweaty.

The pistols will be made in the USA and, at least initially, in limited quantities.

Regardless, PSA manufactures quality products far below what they are worth. If their 1911 lineup is anything like their AR platforms in terms of fit/finish/accuracy/quality, I'll be making room for a new .45 in the safe before the year is out...

I personally don't mind news about new products related to guns... At least it's not an ad for a friggin' generator!

Ok, so what part of this is a deal?

Not even available as they're prototypes with no pricing.

This probably belongs in the forums as this isn't a deal in any way
