Made in Turkey by a company called Girsan. I looked at them at this year's SHOT Show. Not bad, but a bit rough around the edges. I don't know how long Girsan has been around or how long they have been making 1911s. I'm pretty certain they haven't been sending them to the U.S. market for very long.

It's an attractive price, but there are so many companies today offering Officers-size 1911s for affordable prices, I think I would hold off on the Girsan until they've built up some kind of track record.
