I seriously would love to have one of these:
I have shot them and they are smooth, tight and accurate. I love the 1911 platforms and I like the looks of this specific model but I have a hard time justifying the price. The probelm is that if I get a lessor one it will bother me that it may not be as accurate as I am (not that I am great, but I am better that a lot of the guns I have shot at 25 yards). The Raptor II will group under an inch at 25 yards so when I miss I know it is me.
So, who else makes an accurate one that isn't plain but also not that expensive or where a good place to purchase one. Somewhat local shops are nearly $1500. My BiL has a Remington that shoots almost well but was nearly as expensive and is a plain brushed stainless.
I would be OK with a well cared for used one.
