http://store.avguns.com/ati-fx45-k-1911-cerakote-fde-brown-45acp/$575 out the door. Can't pick it up till Tuesday due to the ridiculous 3 day wait. The slide to frame fit is very exact, and it cycles really smoothly. Maybe the Cerakote finish? Won't be able to shoot it til later in the week.

I had the ATI (Philipine) G.I. 1911- ate all the ammo I threw at it with no malfunctions. Best 1911 you'll ever see for $380. This looks like the same Philipine version from the pics, just with way more options. Should be a good gun.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

That's a good looking gun. Too bad we don't have Bricktop around to tell everyone how "soft" the Philippine guns are.
That's a whole lot of 1911 for the price. Wouldn't mind picking one up myself.

Well, he claimed RIA's were "soft", I called him on it, he couldn't back up anything he said, I and several others provided data contrary to his claims, he called everyone names, got all butt-hurt and left.

I've got no dog in this fight, but apparently Clark Custom Guns thinks that the Philippine made 1911s have soft steel and shouldn't be considered for their 460 Rowland conversion. I read this when I was looking for a 1911 to convert to 45Super/460 Rowland. I just figure that Clark Custom has to have a pretty good handle on this stuff and avoided the cheap imported 1911s when I made my 1911 purchase. http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/rowland.htm#faq

This should be a clue....

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.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Back on topic... is this 1911 from RIA? Shooters Arms Manufacturing (SAM), also manufactured in the Philippines.

I can't say anything on the frames and slides,but I will tell you of one we had in the range(rental) that went full auto in 400 rounds.The sear and hammer were rounded off,I replaced both with Brownells GI spec and it running again to over 3000 rounds currently...

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

Who the hell said anything against Ruger and cast frames? Buy whatever you want. I'll do the same. While you're on the soapbox, why don't you go and tell Clark Custom how to do things that are up to your standards? Go and try to impress someone else with your BS.

I believe you said, and correct me if I'm wrong, that only forged frames will stand up to your intended use. This was a round-about disparagement of cast components. So, stick your BS up you azz.

Well, reading comprehension and vocabulary are among your many glaring weaknesses. I don't round-about anything to anyone. Much less to an internet know-it-all, wanna be tough guy. Go pound sand.
