They were originally located in Mass., I think, and were sold to an outfit now located in the Midwest. I think CNC technology has opened the door to more affordable quality machined products that can even be outsourced to shops in the Philippines and still result in good accurate work and parts. IF this is true, then you'd be paying mostly for the name when buying any other non-custom, entry level 1911--in which case, why not shop just price?
I'd buy a Commander from them, but they don't make one. Still leaning toward the Ruger...
