I'm really not sure; I've been out of that loop for awhile. Comparing it to both a Kimber and a Springfield in the current inventory, however, it appears to be every bit of their quality. Very well machined, very tightly fitted, and nicely finished for a Parkerized gun. Granted, the ubiquitous "Colt Blue" is missing, but to me, a Parkerized 1911 seems "right". And, it's very well done. I hope it shoots - I would sure like to keep it.
