New 1911 on the horizon

But why another retro model? People want the bells and whistles, not bone stock. That's just my opinion.

Not everybody If it's close in quality to the Wessons for $250-300 less I'm interested. CZ has a reputation for building quality firearms. My 75 is built like a tank and has zero issues. Hopefully this 1911 will follow suit. I'll post if and when I hear back from CZ..

Maybe to get in to the RIA market.

There must be a good market for the retros since so many companies are making them. Usually around the $500 mark though.

I thought maybe this was a DW dressed up differently, so I looked at the specs and it's a carbon steel frame. All the DWs have stainless steel or aluminum frames.

Curious, to say the least!

I agree with you , for this I would get a RIA for way less. I know its a good quality gun, both RIA and CZ but just not putting up $900 or whatever for it.....

I agree . I bought a Rock A1 it was Ok for back up . The A1s is a backup for an AR 15 . As a primary defense they need work , or carry an AR around with you . JMHO
