Here's a picture of the guns that are winging their way to us as I type this. Darn fine looking pistol to be sure.

If you guy's had these built . Why didn't you get just the top end for the thousands of us that already own a 1911 ???????:confused:
You know like a 22 conversion kit it would be a 45 long slide conversion kit !
Or are they not a true 1911A1 spec frame ?

You guys and your loose use of the term spec and mil-spec. I shake my head every time, the SAM pistols are all hand fitted that's why they don't always accept other components.

Thanks for clearing that up .
I thought these were a production built gun made to uniform specifications with interchangeable parts .
I guess not

They are for the most part. Grips will fit, certain other parts that did not require manual fitting during the production process will fit as well.

Each SAM 1911 is a custom gun in it's own right. They are hand fitted to ensure the fit and finish is up to their standard. This in turn makes "spec" parts out of spec, as all the hand fitting does away with the traditional tolerances.

At the end of the day, they are semi-production and semi-custom guns. The labor intensive process that goes into making each one of the SAM's is their allure and the praise of their product.

Me too.

All blued or all stainless = nice
Stainless frame/blued slide = nice
Blued frame/stainless slide = to me looks like someone cobbled it together from random parts.

At least the project happened. I'll email them to find out about some options. Wolverine has still made a sale from me either way though.
 
I know I am super late to the bandwagon, but what Cali-Breys are they going to be offered in? 38 stupid? 10 sillimeter? 9 stupidmeter? 40 short and weak? 45 automatic compensation P****?

What are the grips going to look like? Idk how i feel about blued frame and stainless slide. Googled a few pics to get an idea of what it would look like (different guns obviously) and I'm not sure how i feel. Grips will probably make it or break it for me.

Grips are a minor detail, IMO. They're inexpensive to buy and they come in a wide variety, depending on individual tastes and the comfort level required.

.45ACP only as far as I remember. Many wishes for others but not on this order.
