The Para GI Expert is also made completely in the USA (North Carolina), and IMHO is a better pistol and a better value than the Remington R1. I've never heard of Girsan but, if it's Turkish, it may (note: "may") be the same as the Tisas/Trabzon that is imported under a couple of different names. IF that's the pistol, it's a solid 1911 but really bare bones and not in the same class as the Para GI Expert.
