Excellent piece, love the smooth action, great accuracy. No issues after 300 rounds. Would recommend to anyone that likes the 1911 old or new. Girsan nailed it again. 1 of 6 Girsan that I own. Love them, great price, zero issues as always.

Don't let the price on this full size 1911 style 45 fool you. Great firing gun.

I was hesitant to buy this pistol but I’ve had no regrets. Shoots good and handles well.

I've shot 1911s quite a bit, so I think this is a fair review. The gun itself is superb. The fit and finish are outstanding. The slide is tight and the trigger is crisp with very little play. Compared to my R1, the trigger on the Girsan is better. I took the pistol to the range intending to really push it right off so I was swapping magazines out quickly and placing rounds down range. My first realization was that the sights were dead on. With little effort on target re-acquisition, I was leaving gaping holes in the target where multiple rounds had penetrated over and over. I qualified marksman in the Air Force, but that was almost thirty years ago. Compared to my Remington, Smith, and Ruger wheel guns, this 1911 was starting to make me feel pretty freakin young again. Aging eyesight and bad shoulder be damned. I had ordered a good Chip McCormick mag prior and thankfully so. Not even seventy rounds in, the factory ACT-MAG spread from the heat and wouldn't enter the gun. If there is even the slightest chance you may have to depend your life or others on this gun, I would whole heartedly trust the gun, but purchase some Chips and ditch those terrible ACTs. I shoot in multiple hand positions, standard combat hold, single right, and single left so I can confidently use the gun properly when I need it. This gun performed flawlessly. For the money - this is a superb firearm and worth every single penny. It is an amazing production of the 1911 line with the quality and performance you would expect for a gun costing three to four hundred more clams. However, the factory magazine is junk. The grip screws and bushings are easy to strip. The screw slots aren't deep enough compared to the oversized screw head. Easy to mar up. If you want the 1911 experience and a reliable gun you can use in the protection of life and property....by this gun. Girsan has done themselves proud. Cardini makes a nice lined leather paddle holster that won't mar up the chrome. The Chip mag still holds eight rounds without the cheesy plastic piece protruding from the bottom of the grips. Just for reference on the accuracy, I was shooting Blazer (3 boxes) and a box of Winchester. Winchester being my preferred round. Only fail to feed was when I was shooting lefty. Which is fine - that wrist isn't nearly as strong as my right, so there was some wrist break involved. If you can get one - get one. 1911 - my first pistol purchase. 1911- my 2nd pistol purchase. 1911 - my truck gun. 1911 - my carry gun. 1911 - because having to shoot twice is just silly. Enough said.

I was wanting to buy a 1911 for a while and finally bought this one online. Mostly because it was cheaper than most and the reviews were good. Wow was I ever surprised when I opened the case it was in ,when I was at my ffl dealer to pick it up.. it was way more beautiful than the picture shows. I haven't shot it yet but it's a very beautiful gun and looks like a $1,000 dollar gun! I will probably but another one.

Just made it out to the range to try it out. Very nice, no problems, 230 grain Winchester target load, 100 rounds, no failures. Do yourself a favor, stop looking and buy this one.

Two days and had it in my hands. The Girsan MC1911HC-G2 iS beautiful. The gun shop owners were shocked as well. Everything tight and flawless !!! Will update after 100 rounds. But clean, incredible finish, tight smooth slide action. And the price is unbelieveable !! Thanks Bud's

This was my first 1911 I've ever bought and I've had zero problems with this gun. It looks great shoots straight and is a great deal. Since I've bought another 1911 a more popular name brand and I think this one is better. It's a great inexpensive 1911-45 I'd recommend to anyone looking for a great gun at an affordable price. Thanks again buds

gun shoots great ......no issues what so ever .....have about 600 rounds through it .....sights are not good ....they are very small but i think that s the way they were on the original issue 1911 way back in the day .....slide to frame fit is not the best but loose is good for reliability .....all in all its a pretty god gun

Out of the case, look good. Finish on trigger guard has rough edges. Sights don't leave much to be desired. Over all look of the Girsan looks great: chrome finish on slide contrasts with the mat finish frame, grips look & feel good but seems the screws might be metric? Can't use everyday grip screws. The hole size is much smaller than the run of the mill screws. Either I try to get the bushings changed or I stay with the factory grips & screws (which look very 'machine' like). I'm guessing for the price, it would be a good platform to build on. I'd recommend it to friends but also tell 'em not to be expecting too much. I just received it yesterday (3-3-15) & have yet to shoot it.

So far i have no complaints! I took this gun out shooting and it has nice weight and feel with no problems while shooting. I own several 1911's and this one compared to the others is on even quality and i paid way more then double for the rest of them. I would recommend this gun to anyone and with the forever replacement for only 20 bucks you cant beat it.

This Girsan is a whale of a pistol for the money. Trigger is a bit heavy at 6.5 lbs. I installed a les brown sear spring and adjusted to 3.75 lbs. It is sooo smooth and shoots where you hold it. I love it!

I ordered went through Friday, i got a call on Wednesday, Picked up my new 1911 this afternoon from the local FFL and I have to say that I am impressed with this firearm. the finish is (almost) flawless, though she is beautiful. The slide to frame fit is amazing; I thought for the price it would be rocking back and forth, nope this jewel is tight. No grit, just smooth and crisp. The trigger is heavy. However, I think with this being the G2, they lightened the spring, she feels about 5.5-6lbs, not nearly as heavy as some of the older reviews (I can be certain until I find my tool to measure.) I bought new grips as well, but with the way the grips look on this one, I may keep them on there for awhile. the ONLY real downside to this 1911 is the sights on it, they are awful, and by awful, I mean you cant see the front one at all, dark painted metal tends to blend right into the same color dark painted metal. they will be replaced, that's for sure. Since I haven't fired a round yet, I cant comment on that yet, I'm trying to do that this weekend, however for the price and quality of this firearm, you can bet I will be buying at least 1 more of these very soon!

Leaving out the Sunday, I got my girsan 1911 one my hand in 3 days! I love buds fast service! This gun shoots flawlessly and I like it more than my ruger 1911. Only thing I don't like about this model 1911 is short beavertail. Hurt my hand between thumb and index finger. But minor fix. Over all this gun is fantastic!

PISTOL ARRIVED QUICKLY. NICE FINNISH AND WELL MADE. WILL REPLACE SIGHTS. ONE STOVE-PIPE ON THE RANGE USING CCI BLAZER AMMO.

As always Buds was perfect. This is a nice1911. Was a little disappointed first time at the range, ftf after ftf . Simple solution, changed out the magazine it came with for a Chip McCormick and this gun shoots flawlessly and eats every type of ammo I throw at it. The only con is that the grip bushings are not mil. spec, very easy to have drilled and tapped to be spec. Now if you are expecting Wilson combat quality you will be disappointed, but I have to give this 5 stars , for the price you can not beat this 1911. For anyone looking for a great shooting and looking, affordable1911, look no further.

Sights are absolutely abysmal. The fit of the slide to the frame is sloppy; I noticed scratching/ rub marks on both pieces after just a few shots without any noticeable burrs present. Very disappointed in this piece.
