G-MAN Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well, I went into the gun store today to get a Fobus holster for my P95 and wound up getting another new pistol. I've always been a sucker for the 1911. I've still got a Llama IX-A that I bought 30 years ago. Boy have 1911 clones come a long way since then.When the guy showed me this FireStorm 1911 I was hooked. The fit and finish is really something for a gun in the price range. And it's got quite a few "extras" that you would typically find on much more expensive 1911s. Price? $420.00 out the door. Here's a good review I found using Google.

wwillson Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 This is very interesting indeed. I can't say that I've heard of Firestorm 1911's - who makes the parts and where are they assembled? GMAN - will you be making another trip to the gun store soon?

Wayne Yeah, I'm going back tomorrow. heheThe FireStorm 1911 and American Classic 1911 (which is the exact same gun) are made by the same factory in the Philippines that makes the Rock Island Armory 1911 and the Charles Daly 1911.BTW, frame and slide on the FireStorm are forged, not cast. Gun is as tight and slick as $1500 Colt 1911. Can't wait to shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkie_Lefty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Nephew at Marvel Custom Pistols says those are a much better place to start to build a custom gun than any Colt or Kimber. Fit, finish, accuracy, and reliability out of the box is usually top notch.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
