    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    I've five guns from Turkey. Each one of them are outstanding. I've two Tisas 1911s, two Caniks, and one Tristar (which is a renamed Canik). IMO, you can be a snob and own Turkish guns (not that I'm a snob).

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    Not really...they've been doing business in the US and working with other companies within the US firearms industry for 30 years. Actually, not only are they involved with US industries, but they are a global presence. I'm pretty sure language isn't a barrier at this point.

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    Yes, I agree that this is a management problem. In cases such as that, yes, folks should complain. This post was going beyond that, though. As well, he was insisting that they weren't made in the US. If this is a management problem, why was it mentioned that they weren't made in the US? To...

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    They are made in Duluth, GA. If someone is saying otherwise, they should offer hard data to substantiate the claim.

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    No on is arguing. In fact, I'm not the only person that posted that their facilities are in the US. You're also saying you don't hate them but you obviously have some hang-ups, based on your reply. Those hang-ups are yours, not mine. Your comment implied that they're not made in the US or...

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    They're made in Georgia, where they've a huge facility. When they say, "Made in America", they're not lying. The parent company just isn't a US company. US folks are benefiting from being employed by Dasan, too. The Republic of Korea is a huge ally of the US, as well. Alpha Foxtrot's parent...

    Open carry...again

    The more carriers of firearms, the better, no matter the method. Me? I wouldn't do open carry, but I'm not going to laugh at others that do it. It's a personal choice, as with anything related to firearms. Do what works for you, don't worry about how the the guy across the aisle is...

    Holosun 507C-X2 with ACSS® Vulcan® Reticle

    You're really not going to be spending crucial time trying to get front and rear irons lined up when someone is coming at you when they were already close, which is why I mentioned point shooting in the first place. Also, irons DO fail. I had an iron front sight fall off a 1911 that I was...

    Holosun 507C-X2 with ACSS® Vulcan® Reticle

    Was talking more of smaller optics-ready handguns that lose the rear irons when installing an optic. Yes, that's why I said, "I'd probably be point-shooting anyways".

    Holosun 507C-X2 with ACSS® Vulcan® Reticle

    Recently went optic on my carry gun, too (it's my first optic on a handgun), on a Bul Armory SAS II UL 3.25". I went with the HS507K-X2-ACSS. This optic doesn't have the chevron, but a 3 MOA dot. I lose the rear irons when using an optic on this handgun, though. The optic has a built-in rear...

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    My take-away from his comments is that there is NO customer support for any firearm you buy from Alpha Foxtrot. Two folks in this thread couldn't reach customer support, and the OP couldn't reach the parent company either. IMO, that's bad. It's not a problem until you need support, then...

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    Was considering the S15 until I read this thread. The S15 (needless to say) is no longer an option for me. Whatever happened with your issue? Was it resolved? Were you ever able to reach customer support?
