If you are looking a quality 1911 that rivals others that cost hundreds more, the American Classic 2 does not disappoint. Exterior is flawless, nice blued finish. Feed ramp is smooth and polished. Nice and tight slide to frame fit, no slop. At the range fired 100 rounds without any type of failure. Sights right on at 10 yards and nice groups. The only complaint is that it comes in a plastic bag covered in oil to preserve it. Oil ran out of every crevice requiring a TOTAL disassembly and cleaning, although it is a good way to get to know your new pistol.

Excellent service from Buds, my first online purchase, and it was very smooth. I looked at several 1911 models in this price range and I am very pleased with the decion on the Bersa (Metro-Arms) American Classic 2. Very accurate right out of the box. Tight rail, a few very minor machine marks on the inside of the rail, but it feels more solid than some of the $ 800 models Ive handled. No visible marks on the outside of the gun. Excellent finish and blueing. It came a little dirty, but after a strip and good cleaning, I have put 300 rounds wih no malfunctions. The grips that came with it are nicely textured, slightly different looking than the ones in the picture. They are more of a scale pattern, wood, with dark rose finish. Trigger pull is adjustable, and very smooth. Hammer is unique imo, I like the style of it. Final feeling about the purchase, this gun could easily fall into the higher priced category, so it was a steal at under 500. I have put a few upgrades since buying it, and everything has been oem compatible for standard 1911 clones. If you get the chance, buy this one.

I ordered my 1911 American Classic after reading up on it and seeing such good reviews. This is my first 1911 and I did not want to spend alot for the 1st one. After getting the gun shipped to a local dealer, I pick it up, took it home, took it apart and cleaned it (was packed in a plastic bag with lots of oil). That was a couple of weeks ago. Today, I finally got to the indoor range to fire it and was really impressed with the action and how accurate it was. I was using Federal Premium ammo in 230 grain FMJ. No issues with firing or cycling the ammo and maybe it was just me or maybe it was the gun or maybe it was a combo of both, but I was shooting a nice tight group @ 10 yards on paper bullseye target. Bottom line, its a good gun, well made and you cant beat the price. As long as your ordering the gun, you might as well get a couple of extra Chip McCormick mags (I ran through 100 rounds in no time).

I ordered the gun on a Friday night and picked it up @ dealers on the next Tues, not bad and Buds kept me informed the entire time with shipping and tracking.

Peace and thanks America for another 4 more years (I am just pushing your chain).

Good fit and finish, good trigger, great gun for the money. The factory ACT mag is complete garbage, the gun will hardly cycle ball ammo with it, so I would recommend buying better mags with it, my checkmate mags cycle flawlessly with my AC II, overall good gun for the money, great entry level 1911! First gun purchase from Buds and won't be the last fast shipping and a great layaway plan!
