I saw one just the other day for 400 dollars in a local shop. I wish I had the money to get it. The Chinese are really great at imitating other nations' weapons, toys, building materials, electronics, etc. They made the 1911A1 really well, imo. Their Mac90s are good in my estimation. Soviets built them first. Remember the broom handle Mauser? Chinese built great examples of those. The 1911 is built like a tank and not nearly as valuable as a WW2 vintage pistol so I wouldn't feel badly about shooting the heck out of it. The sights are like the early 1911s, that is, small notch and difficult for me to see. The triggers are gritty but can easily be polished. Everything else is just fine. I've owned a couple over the years and felt I had to sell them to do other gun projects. Wish I had them back right now.
