Fusion Arms

Has anyone shot or owned any of the Fusion Arms 1911's? All of the reviews seem to be older reviews more than a couple of years old. The guns "look" good on the website and he does have a lot of caliber offerings as well as choices for everything else.
Thanks

Oh hell. Lol. Talk to Alan, also known as Hail Caesar. He will give you his experience. Or just look at his signature line, friends don't let friends shoot fusion's.

I totally disagree. My experience with Fusion was a very good one. They were great to deal with, and I got a top notch custom Commander size gun. It is by far one of my best shooters,along with my DW CCO. I would definately custom order another one. I LOVE my fusion.

Another one with a good experience with Fusion. I bought my Fusion Scout XL on GB for a steal of a price and have since made it my own. I added a fusion chainlink mainspring housing with magwell, 10-8 rear sight with XS front night sight, and sent it back to fusion to have the top of the slide serrated and re-ion bonded as well as the barrel crowned. My favorite 1911 even over my 3 Dan Wessons......not by much though.

thanks, that helps! I'm looking for a Commander size as a CCW. I also have a VBOB black on order (no one here carries DW's or even LB's in stock so all have to be ordered unless you use one of the auctions)

I have looked at buying one for awhile and it seems to be a love or hate thing.It seems all good on the other forum but I talked to a couple of members by PM because they didn't feel comfortable saying anything in public.If you get a good one you get a hell of a gun for the money but if you get a bad one good luck.I haven't been able to overcome that in my mind.Ordered what I wanted from the Springfield Custom shop even though it's a year wait and $1000.00 more.

I wanted to add that it is certainly a love/hate thing with Fusion but one thing I know for sure, I wouldn't drop $2k on one and then wait 9 months for it.

and that's the issue I have. Gunbroker has 3 listed (NIB) today, but . . . . I've gotten the same feeling from others. I've never shot or held one but I know the DW's and a friend's Les Baer and NH Custom.

Anything you order custom now is 8 months to a year..Wilson, Brown, Baer, NH...the difference is with those companies, you KNOW you'll get a warranty and customer service..with Fusion, I don't know. I can't say anything about the company one way or the other, but before I put down 2-3 grand (and I did) I'd want to make sure of those points. YMMV
