I am a Wilson Combat CQB owner and I really like my Wilson's, but I have to say this is one great looking 1911. I really like that it has such a clean slide, only having the "Special Forces" text on one side and nothing on the other. I really like that there are no forward cocking serrations to detract from the look. I would really love to try the chainlink grip texture and see if it is as effective as the fine checkering on my Wilsons. According to the article his Gen III finish gives the gun a matte black coating.
Very Nice would'nt you say????

No light rail or full length guide rod....me likey! Lose the ambi-safety and the funky metal work on the mainspring housing and the frontstrap and I'd love it dearly.

I don't know about the work on the frontstrap. I shot one 1911 with checkering on the frontstrap and it felt like I was holding a file - not good.

That is a nice looking piece...I'll bet its expensive.
