I've been wanting exactly that for a long time.
If they're worth messin' with, they could quite possibly kick a Glock out of my holster. And I'm a Glock guy.
FWIW, I bought a RRA Basic Carry a few years ago and it was trash. I guess I got the only ugly one, but man it was nasty. The frame, the slide, and the grip safety were butchered beyond anythig requiring a bunch of welding. Oh well huh?

I'm fairly open minded when it comes to 1911's but I think I have to draw the line at the word "polymer". It may be a nice gun but I dont have any use for it.

Same staff as before? If so, I'm pretty sure that the gun should run right, and be damn accurate.
Did they procure and fund this, or is this some sort of re-badged import with no "hand fitting", etc?

This isn't the first time someone has tried a poly frame 1911. As all the others and regardless of quality, it will fail more than likely.

A polymer 1911? John Moses Browning just shit in his coffin.

The past RRA 1911's were appreciably more expensive, In Knighthawk, Les Baer price range so it is a substantial reduction in cost over what they used to offer. But that pistol looks like a Rock Island and a Glock had a one nighter. Not for me.Article: http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/rock...-polymer-1911/
Here's what gets me....
Yet....
I am not seeing the lower cost part

Maybe, but he was a pretty cutting edge gun designer. If he was around in the 70's and 80's he may have designed the very first and best polymer pistol before Glock, etc. I'm sure it would have had a WAY better trigger tough
BTW, Kimber tried this several years ago as well with a double stack. There is one guy at the club who still shoots one and loves it.....despite the fact it was sent back twice with a cracked frame....
