My understanding with the "other forum" is that less than favorable posts are deleted by the moderators. I like my Fusion (bought used) so far. We'll see after I get it back from Robar, how well it shoots. Fusion builds guns to order and sells kits. After I bought my Fusion, I called them and Bob (CEO) answered the phone and was helpful. Two months ago, I sent a letter to the CEO of Colt and he couldn't be bothered acknowledging the letter. Colt has had my pistol for over ten months, for a 4-6 month tactical package. Guess who I would do business with again.

I certainly agree that "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." This has been my experience with most things in life. You could pay a $1000 more at the Springfield Custom Shop and still get a lemon. Here is hoping that your Springfield, and my Colt, if I ever get it back, are everything we want them to be. cowboycowboy

Bob Serva has done something to royally piss off more than a few people. I have NEVER seen such anger at a gun maker as you'll see towards him on the 1911 forum that allows free speech.

This said, I've never even seen one in person, let alone owned one. They certainly do make a beautiful 1911. I got a quote from them on a bobtail commander, but got spooked off and bought a Vbob instead. Still wonder what I would have ended up getting. I might give them a try one day, I hate to let stranger's experiences on the Internet steer me away from a "good one." I've read dozens of people giving Walther P22's the business, and I have 25,000 rounds through one. Certainly, not everyone is getting the same results. And a happy customer is going to make a lot less noise than an unhappy one. But $2000+ is a lot of money, and I'd be afraid to take such a risk. I haven't heard people who are unhappy with Wilson's or GI No Names.
