I am # 300 on a list for 100 guns! Emailed them and got a quick response! Much appreciated!

Just to clarrify here. There are 100 guns coming to Canada. We have 10 coming and 3 names to notify for every pistol.

 

[Max Owner]

Guess I'll send an e-mail and find my name on the list. Where it is.....

The external extractor just doesn't look right to me, not to mention that a commemorative firearm should be same as original design in my humble opinion...
But being a 1911 still looks ###y as hell!!

And I'm number 12 in line. Sniff.

Just found out that I'm not expecting one.

Good New and Bad News. The good news is that we will have more then expected, which means most on our notify list will be able to get a pistol. Bad new is that these will not be the first run of 500 pistols, these will be the limited run of 250 that Smith and Wesson is designating for the export model. Please email (info@frontierfirearms.ca) to confirm you are on our notify list.

What exactly does the bold mean?

Sounds like the serial # will be 501 to 750 instead of 1-500. Not quite as bad as reprinting DC/Superman #1 but still, extra limited run is not good. An export model


Just noticed the OP has changes, price has gone up, won't be avail. till Jan 2011 (think they meant 2012 which makes that 101 YEARS). Export equal second class???

When I first read the update I got the impression that the US will get the "valued" model and we'll get the "dime a dozen" model.

And thought they were gonna be $1200 ish, originally.

I don't mind the extra sixty bucks; the dollar has gone down since they were first announced. But being in the "also ran" list ....

"FOR SALE: one of a limited run of 500. Serial number 662."

Have to think about this.

 

[Frontier Firearms]

The serial numbers run from 1-250 because the batch is a second run different from the first run. It will be based on the E Series Model.
