They are pretty nice guns abd a little different from a 2011.
New 2011…my favorite platform!

Just feel cheap by 2011 standards, but granted I probably spoiled myself a little too much. Used to real smooth models with awesome triggers.
I’m not a proponent of Turkish firearms to begin with.

I hope you didn't need to get your Pit Viper from the Bowery King like John Wick did. The King got it from a guy, that knew a guy, that killed a guy 
Congratulations on that beautiful pistol

And thank you
That was a Kimber 1911.
*Unless it changed in the 4th movie cause that one was unwatchable.

Well... with apologies to Bob Seger:

Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
I still believe 1911s should only come in God's Caliber, the .45 ACP. (Although with an act of contrition, the true believer is allowed one 1911 in .38 Super.)

In the 4th movie it was a Pit Viper. The second movie he got the Kimber 1911 45acp from the King.
Why was the 4th movie unwatchable?
It was horrible not a single redeeming quality. 1 & 2 were great 3 meh. 4 I only made it 20-30mins
2011’s are a different animal though. 9mm and in some cases, 40, are the calibers. A 2011 in 45 doesn’t make a lot of sense, although I do have one.

I'm in total agreement here.

I enjoyed the 4th one. Some of the scenes were fun from a cinematography standpoint.
Some were really dumb, though.
That makes sense if you have handled one, I have not played with one yet. Thanks for your assessment, but for the cost I guess that is to be expected. I am not looking for normal 2011 quality, but a reliable woods gun for hiking and hunting. Seems to fit that bill. Nothing else I can find right now that is 1911 style, red dot ready and not cost $3K plus. I like the Cosaint as well, but more than I am willing to put into a woods gun. Thanks for the input.

The Girsans only seem to take RMSc optics, so that's a big downer. I'm curious what magazine they'll use as not many companies make 10mm double stack mags anymore. I carry an M&P 10mm hunting, 1911 grip angle, cut for every optic w/ a plate, cheap mags, and it's pretty pleasant to shoot depending on the load.
Not worried about the mags, but fully agree with your assessment on the optic cut. I would plan to run the new Trijicon RCR and would have to use a conversion plate. I could also see if it could be re-milled for a RMR footprint, not sure if that would be an option or not.
Since Cosaint Arms, a quality US based double stack 1911 maker is making the frames, I plan to reach out to them to talk about the Girsan and see what is possible with it. A little tune up could make it a great gun at a still decent price point.
Keeping an open mind, with Shot Show coming up, who knows what will come out for 2024...by way, Happy New Year!
