Everyone is making 1911's because they know they can sell them in Canada for 50% more. LOL:D

It would be nice to see someone not sell a $600 usd pistol for over $1000cdn.
 
You will notice that most of the 1911's coming out now are close to or bang-on GI spec. This speaks to the HUGE interest in WWII spec 1911-a1

I think everyone is sick of the "extended this", 'ambi that" "guide rod" this and stainless that.

Give us old slab sides, parked or blued, plastic or wood grips and we are good to go!

That is part of it for sure. But there is huge demand for a rock solid bare bones 1911, at a reasonable price, to use as a base for a custom build. The custom build/customization market for 1911's in the States is enormous.
 
The funny thing is, most of these new 1911s are essentially the same gun made in the same factory in the Philippines. Armscor, Tanfoglio, STI Spartan, Iver Johnson, Charles Daly, Rock Island....and I'm sure there's a few others that I can't think of right now.
