I own a MetroArms AC II, in my opinion it matches up in fit and quality to the 1911's I shot in the military built by Colt, and the price point is a lot less than
current retail for a bigger name gun. I have better than 3,000 rounds through it so far, with nary a hic-up. I've spent a lot more and got a lot less gun.

The Firestorm to me is not as attractive with the large billboard sized roll mark on the right side of the frame. My advice to the guys who only buy, or shoot the higher end 1911's, check out the guns for yourself, I think you'll be impressed.

As for the Bersa named firearms, my son has a Thunder in 9mm, a fine gun, in my opinion, more gun for the money than a lot in a higher price range.
