Metro Arms
http://metroarms.net/MAC1911

The Metro Arms American Classic II is another full-sized 1911A1 made in the Philipines. My sample was made in stainless steel, and it had all the bells and whistles you’d want, including a lowered and flared ejection port, hi-visibility front and rear sights, extended thumb safety, long trigger and beavertail grip safety.

The frame on the Metro Arms was obviously cast, as there were a lot of casting marks they didn’t polish out of an otherwise outstanding 1911. Trigger pull was right at 4 pounds, as well as being crisp and smooth. Actually, the trigger was better than those seen on much higher priced 1911s. The one thing I didn’t like on the Metro Arms were the wood grips. I eventually bought this gun, and the first thing I did was remove the grips and throw ’em in the trash, replacing them with the Mil-Tac “Code Zero” 1911 grips of my own design.

I put a lot of trigger time on the Metro Arms. The gun simply amazed me, never missed a beat and was just as accurate as any number of my higher-end 1911s. Some groups were down there at 2″ at 25 yards. This gun never gave a hint of any problems; it just shot all the world like a custom 1911 would. I even fired some Buffalo Bore +P 230-grain JHP ammo through this gun, without any problems at all. A full-length guide rod is standard on this gun. I can take ’em or leave ’em these days, as they just complicate takedown and cleaning.
