Saw one at a store today. Looked like a nicely streamlined stainless parkerized (?) pistol with Ashley sights. Heavy.

Any info on reliability? How accurate is it? Are parts/service available? Do mags interchange with anything else?

Oleg, was it some sort of custom 1911, or a new design?

Oleg, I bought one of those for my wife in 9mm P about 10 years ago. The mags supposedly interchanged with Colt 1911 style mags (if you could find one in 9mm). It was possibly the worst jam-a-matic I've ever owned. We must have fired 500 rounds through it, and it never did get any better. It always produced a jam of some kind or another after every other shot. When it did fire, it was about 2 feet low at 25 yards. I believe the company went out of business in short order. We traded it, along with some cash, about 1992 for a Ruger P89.

I had two 9mm series 70 Combat Commanders that did the same.
