It's the opposite - Clark knows what works and sticks with it. They have no interest getting a handle on the entire 1911 market and assuming the risks to save a guy a few hundred bucks on a donor. Also, Clark has a definite preference for hammer forged frames and slides.


"Clark knows what works and sticks with it." Well, that works for me and my intended uses of my 1911.

I also have a definite preference for forged slides and frames that will stand up to my intended use.


Oh great, it's the old forged vs cast argument again. I thought we put that to bed years ago.

Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.
