Fantastic 1911, but not all the parts are exactly in spec. I'm unable to find an extended slide release that still lets the slide lock on an empty magazine, and the grip screws are a weird size. But I was able to fit a compensator, and the picatinny rails are sized correctly. So it's kind of a mixed bag if you're looking for a modding platform, but as it is, it does shoot fantastically.

This is one of the best firearms I habe purchased. Took it to the range and it performed flawlessly. I had the gunsmith there check,it out and he was very impressed with its fit and finish as well as the action and feel of the firearm. Againmi cannot express my happiness with the firearm and as usual Buds is amazing

Fun shooter totally hate the rail, never found a need for it of my own. Great overall 1911 on a budget! Buds team does a great job picking the lesser known brand that provided quality shooting.

Love this gun.. use it for heavy load practice.. just to keep my hand in on the 45 Cals... usually I shoot 9mm... will perhaps use this for USPSA Single Stack competition in a year or so.. clean solid..great feel. It is far and away the pretty gun of my collection..

Buds purchasing and shipping process was seamless. I received the firearm and upon inspection I noticed the firearm had two magazines instead of the one as advertised. The trigger tag was on the firearm and all the contents were in the box. The firearm appeared flawless and a very nice looking gun. It seemed to operate fine but has a real stout slide action. Fit and finish were nice. I didn't tear down the firearm but looked over what I could see. The FFL was also impressed with the firearm and commented on the quality of Turkish made firearms, The only somewhat disappointment was that the sights had no dots on them. I believe in the video they do, No big deal I can put them on but it was just something I noticed. And for the price who can complain. I haven't fired the firearm yet but from my initial impressions the firearm is a real value. Again I think buying at Buds is the best way to go. The FFL I use only charges me $20 so it really makes the purchase that much more of a value. I recommend Buds to all my friends and will purchase firearms from Buds in the future.

I am a huge 1911 fan and for my money I like to get the best bang for my buck. I like inexpensive products that work or even surpass their more expensive counter parts. That's what the Girsan 1911's do. They surpass most if not all other 1911's in their price range. The fit and finish is great, the quality of parts they use are great. They shoot great and they are easy to customize. I would give Girsan a 6 star rating if I could, they are just that good. Once again Buds came through with a great product at a great price and as always great service.

Purchased in December of 2015. I own other .45 caliber weapons, including a different 1911. This one, at $479 was less expensive, and out of the box, appeared built with tighter tolerances. The gun is a work of art for its detail and highly polished finish on the slide and barrel. First time out at the range, I did experience some issues with it including FTF and stove pipes. I thought it might be me, but as I shot my other .45, I had no issues. Long story short... I've been to the range several times since, each time putting more than 100 rounds through it with no further issues. I guess there was a slight "break in period" for this gun and there is some noticeable wear on the chromed barrel. Not enough to detract from it, but obviously enough to allow it to function very well. This is now one of my favorite guns to shoot, and I have no trouble carrying it in my shoulder holster, or being concerned that it won't work if/when I need it. I put several brands of ammunition through it, mixing it up to see how well it performs, and I'm pleased to say that it has taken everything I've given it. I've used brass casings, aluminum, steel... no problem. Ammo is from Federal, Winchester, Perfecta, Tul Ammo, Remington, American Eagle, and several different batches of reloads. I did like the walnut grips that it came with, but they were just a little uncomfortable for my hand size, so I opted to put a thinner plastic grip, and added a Pearce rubber finger groove insert. It's now very comfortable in my hand. The Novak sights are plain black with no dots or outline. Others have updated the front sight to fiber, but I see no need for this expense at the moment. If I do anything, I'll add a touch of paint. As mentioned, the gun is made with tight tolerances, leaving almost no light visible as one tries to look through the gun from back to front. For me, this is great. For someone who's going to be in dirt and sand, I'm not sure this is so good. The spring is strong and with the added force to overcome on the cam of the hammer, this is not an easy gun to rack. For someone with a weak wrist, this may be a concern, but can be overcome by cocking the hammer before trying to rack the slide. Because of this, I believe the recoil is very manageable, and I easily get consistent 5 inch or better groups at 25 yards. The only thing that I don't like on this particular gun is that the barrel link pin is smooth and I have to be careful when cleaning the gun because it does come out of the barrel link. Other than that, this is a beautiful and very durable weapon, and for the price, one of the best 1911-A buys available today. Of course, Buds was fantastic to buy from, and their warranty personnel were great to chat with and work with when I thought I was having a problem. They were there to do whatever I needed, no questions asked, and would have refunded my money. I'm thankful that I kept trying, and kept the gun. But, thank you Buds for another great purchase experience!

Girsan, has raised the bar with this 45 auto. It's an excellent hand cannon, short cycling- a big plus, very good balance and in hand feel. For the price, you can not do better. I give "Girsan" a 5 star's on this one and a thumps up! Well done indeed.

bought this pistol from buds, delivery was FAST. the pistol shoots very well,it does have a tremendous kick to it! i insatalled a muzzle compensator on the barrell and this helped slightly with the muzzle flip. gun is very well made, and the quality is as good as any kimber, but at half the price!

Ordered the gun on Monday and received it Thursday morning. Bud did an excellent job shipping it to my FFL dealer. I opened the box at the FFL dealers office and everyone was amazed on how great it looked and how tight it was. The finish was superb, trigger pull tested at 4.5 pounds and very smooth. Shot 200 rounds thru the gun this afternoon and it is very accurate and handles well. The E7 retired Marine manager at the range shot 2 mags and said it was a great deal for under $500.00 . It came with 2 mags and both worked well. The only negative comment is the sights are not the easiest to use. It took time to adjust to them. I am adding white to the tip of the front sight so I can see it better against black backgrounds. I have a couple of $950 Springfield 1911,s and this Girsan compares well with them.

Bud's is GREAT. Had a few issues but Scotti took care of the paperwork glitch and Bret advised me not to accept the Girsan with the problems I described and he would have it sent back and send me one that was checked and assured me that the new one would be fine. I received the new one and Bret was true to his word. The Girsan MC1911SHC-G2 45Acp 5" Sport w/Rail, Chrome is a fantastic firearm. Flawless in every way. Fit, finish, function were all GREAT! This Girsan has everything I wanted in a 1911 (Rail, Arched Mainspring Housing, Combat Hammer, Combat Trigger with no creep and very crisp and all in Hard Chrome) and at a third of the price of anything else. I would put the build quality of this Girsan up against any other 1911 out there. I highly recommend this Girsan to anyone looking for a high end 1911 for a very reasonable price (your not paying extra for a NAME) and of course Bud's. These guys ROCK in customer service, price and inventory.

First off, buds is excellent and ships fast. Now, for the Girsan MC 1911, Chrome. Yes I was skeptical at first, but at this price point, I had to make the purchase and see for myself. The fit and finish is SPECTACULAR. This is a beautiful firearm, no loose ends whatsoever. Built very well, sturdy, no loose parts. The most important part, functionality. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. Picked it up at my FFL dealer yesterday, quick cleaning last night, then took it to the range on my lunch break today. 200 rounds, flawless. Smooth action on this firearm, and sighted in perfectly. I really worried about the sights, but had no issue with them. I do want night sights, personal preference, but if you don't want to make the change, then you don't need to. Came with two magazines, both worked great. Also have two Wilson Combat magazines that worked flawlessly as well. 100 rounds thru each set of mags. I highly suggest this firearm to anyone. Compared it to my brother-in-laws colt. He paid $900+, has had multiple FTFs, and mag problems with about 300 rounds through it. At $479, this is a great deal on a fun/reliable firearm. After a few more trips to the range, this will most likely be my bedside firearm, and possible carry when I feel like it. GET IT!!!

Absolutely unbelievable quality 1911 for the price. For under $500 this is the best 1911 you can get in my opinion. Even under $800. The fit and finish are on par with a $1000 1911, you really have to fire one of these to understand the quality you get for such a small price. I ran 100 round of blazer brass through it with out any issues. Was pleasently surprised that it came with two mags, was only expecting one. Fired and fed flawlessly. Was able to take out the center of the target at 15 yards. Shoots like a dream:) this is my fifth firearms from buds and as always, super fast shipping and great gun for the green:)

Third gun purchased through Buds and have never had any problems. I seen this GIRSAN, read the reviews and wanted it. I received it very quickly for a great price and I LOVE IT ! So far I have put about 300 rounds through it with no problems whatsoever. The only ammo I have used in it so far has been the cheaper Federal aluminum casing and if works just fine. The only problem I could see someone having is if they have small hands. The wood grips are thicker, but are great for me.I showed it off to my friends and a couple of them with smaller hands didn't necessarily like the thickness of the handle. I can't complain at all and have the opinion that you will see many more GIRSANS in the future. I want to get another one.

Great gun. I don't know why more Girsan are not sold. I have fired 200 rounds so far and it never missed a beat. Accurate and excellent tooling!

Girsan 1911 is an excellent firearm, you get more gun for the amount of money you pay. This gun is beautiful, function flawlessly and shoots straight.I did a video review of this firearm ( http://youtu.be/4KZS6P91T4k ).What I dont like is the color of the grips, a darker pair of grips should complement the chrome finish.Nothing but praises, if you're in the market for a 1911 but dont want to spen over $500 then this is something to look at.
