I saw this. It might be old news to you but I just saw it a few days ago. Has anyone tried one.

Looks interesting for sure ! It says Forged 4140 Steel with Novak Sight Cuts, seems decent with good reviews ! I have a stripped Springer frame in the safe, this could be a big step towards a good gun !
It’s been on my list to try at some point.
I have read a few reports of issues on a local forum. YMMV

Good info to know ! I have a good frame already (I hope) its from a Springfield GI Model or Loaded I was told so hopefully no issues with that. All the reviews (7) were good for the slides except for the one where they sent the wrong one. I’ll give it a look and wait a bit,but will probably grab one before the sale goes away !
I agree there is a lot of good info in the above thread. I also found this. If you are looking for parts. http://www.cdnnsports.com/1911-slide-complete-70-ser-w-internals-sights.html#.VZJbZMn-JzQ
It is turkish. I have a turkish 1911 and like it a lot. It is also forged.
