House of 1911S: New line - Freedom Series

So, the spec chart says LPA Adj Match sights - but the picture and the bullet feature list show "milspec" fixed sights.

Thanks, corrected that to reflect proper sights!

Officer frame/ commander slide is sounding good to me. Will you have them?

We sure will have this one... We're still sorting out our site and pricing but will follow with a few more soon

what do you mean by "claims"

A hand fit 1911 that's under $700 USD ($1000 Cad) that is made entirely in the US is almost impossible.

Also, I see no claims anywhere by Fusion as the origin of these pistols or the mention of "Made in USA" in any of their videos.

Many of the features and parts of these 1911's (Trigger and hammer design namely) are indicative of Shooter Arms rebranding, since all pistols that come out of that factory share similarities (In this case the most obvious is the finish).

I'm highly, highly suspect of Wanstalls claim that these are 100% USA made. I could be wrong, in which case all the similarities are purely coincidental and the price is too good to be true.
 
Well I just got an email back from fusion he said final machining and tuning is done here and we import some of the parts to keep cost down.

Hah, no. Once you apply a finish to the firearm, there is no final machining. The black oxide finish these have is a clear indication that Shooters Arms does all the crafting work before they send something out.

I'd think the only thing they would do is probably add the grips since there is no cocobolo in the Philippines.

Someone somewhere is either being lied to or covering the source up. They're doing a bad job of it.

According to Fusion's web site (bold-face is mine):

Fusion Firearms is a OEM Manufacturer of 1911 Frames, Slides, Barrels and complete fitted uppers.

This whole subject can be put to rest with a factory tour. I love factory tour videos. Hint: Wanstalls.

BTW, this is a gorgeous custom pistol (not likely one I can afford):

Wow quite the response in this thread!

It seems a few people have taken the statement out of context, above is the original question and answer. I do apologize if some people feel it was misleading, it was not my intention.

The frame, slide and barrel are all bar stock made in the USA, some of the other parts in the firearms are made out of country. (like many other 1911 manufacturers)

The great news is we sell Wilson and Fusion 1911 parts (that are made in the USA) to upgrade anything someone feels something needs replacing.

Early next week we will be posting a list of where the other parts are coming from.

Any idea when the site will be back up? I sent an email last night about the possibility of procuring some Wilson sights, but there are some other parts I'm looking at too.
