There is no MIM or plastic in this particular model

From Keith at that other forum:

You can't make a 1911- here in the states- for anywhere close to $500.00. Not one of this quality anyway. There is no MIM or plastic in this particular model and GI parts are like Hens Teeth. Quality ones anyway. Unless you are making 10,000 of them or more and can afford to pay for MIM tooling and such but CZ only plans to make 1,000 of these this year.:(

CZ marked the slide like they do all of their pistols. BTW they sell a heck of a lot more CZ pistols than DW's... I can't blame them for branding them this way. Besides, All the other GI guns out there either have HUGE engravings on the slide or plaster the whole left side with roll marks. The CZ's are a balance between the two.

The CZ rep at the Shot Show confirmed it will be made by DW. It has Kansas City and "Made in USA" on the slide. Very nicely made. Wide spur hammer. Dovetailed front sight. Slightly beveled mag well. Good trigger but not as good as a DW.
