Before you start yamming about how high that price is…note:

In 2013, the first Turnbull TAR-10, a superbly engraved and gold-inlayed AR platform rifle set the all-time SHOT Show Auction record with a high bid of $136,024. “There are an awful lot of 1911 fans out there, commented Doug Turnbull, Turnbull manufacturing CEO. We’ll just have to see how this Serial Number 1911001 does. As was the case last year, the money goes to a great cause.”

Ok -so who here is bidding?

That’s a beautifully made 1911.

Far too rich for my blood

I’ll be honest.
A bit loud for my taste.
I don’t think the pics show how nice the bluing is yet it still looks fantastic.

5

Giraffe bone grips…

You sure don’t see that everyday.

6

Pass, grips looked better on the Giraffe.

That’s nuts! There showroom is about 15 min down the road from me. They have pistols in there with 25K price tags on them (new production). I just cant see the point.

Will this 1911 run? That’s what I want to know.

As ridiculous as I feel the pricing is, I will go out on a limb and say yes 100%. These guys know what they are doing to say the least! They have some of the finest craftsman in the world working there. I have handled the 25k piece in the show room and to say its beyond description is an understatement!
