Buy stock in foreign companies: make them more "American".
Kimber then entered the picture and probably offers the best (quality, price, options) pistol manufactured in the U.S.
New ones have horrible tooling marks, plastic parts (while not a bad thing, it is a deviation from the old standard that I hold them to).
Colt is still selling 1911's to the public? S&W has a current lineup? I know that, at one time, they did. But I haven't seen either NIB.
Once again, while not in the debate, but I feel they have strayed FAR from the original that has made them full of glory and haunt the stories of our grandparents and parents.

earlthegoat2,
Did you actually mean any of that? Ya really think 18 bucks an hour is a lot of money?

Straight out of HS with ZERO skills and ZERO experience $18 with primo benefits and a pension plan is pretty sweet.
Again. The average UAW worker, average mid level not entry level, makes $28 an hour or about $58,000 a year. That is a lot of money for unskilled labor.
I can't believe how many times I hear of folks wanting to send a 1911 back to the factory for repairs when they have so many 1911 smithing resources available.
