Maybe this is old news but I just read an article in the October issue of Tactical Retailer Magazine.
There is no ceiling on prices any longer. The Erath3 Customized 1911 is now for sale @ $8,495.00 Do I hear any takers/ |

Wow, can they really be that much better?
I have a Kimber tactical custom 2 that I have shot a lot and it has always run perfectly for me. I bought it in 04 or 05 for $750 IIRC I used a Wilson Combat once for a 4 day pistol class. It ran perfectly. I think my buddy paid $3300 for it. It was nice no doubt and I really enjoyed shooting it. But IMO it was not $2500 better than my Kimber. I cannot imagine that a gun could be much better than that Wilson I used to justify another $5000+ They must just be marketing to the people with lots of money to burn. A friend of mine owns a clothing, boots, hats business. In their stores in wealthy areas they mark prices up 100, 200, sometimes 300% from their other stores and the wealthy come in and buy that stuff up like crazy. |

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

I've seen some expensive ones: titanium frames and Damascus slides.

This one starts as just a springfield frame ans slide. No exotic metals. I bet it is a beauty though.
