Cimarron Arms 1911 ?
« on: December 23, 2011, 04:07:11 AM »
I saw one of these at Cabela's when I bought my CZ 75 last week and it caught my eye, and I asked the clerk to see it. The gun was very highly polished and the blue finish was very deep and bright as well. I would compare it to the blued finish on a Weatherby Mark V DeLuxe rifle. The price was $650.00.

Upon further examination I was a little surprised to see "Made In The Phillipines" stamped on the underside of the frame. Does anyone know for a fact if these are Armscor guns being sold under the Cimarron name? I ask because I can buy standard G.I. model Parkerized Rock Island Armory 1911's all day long for $400.00 or less from my local dealer. If they are manufactured by Armscor it basically means your paying $250.00 for the bright blued finish. A little steep. This is a link to the weapon. The model in question is the lower one.

I noticed that they're 1911s and not A1s. That's a little unusual.

They mention WWI in the description, the A1 didn't come out till 1924.  Considering the cost of production in the US, seems using Asian labor should make them considerably cheaper.  I'd tend to agree with Bill on this one.

This is the gun. In the lower video he mentions it's made by Armscor in the Phillipines, (3:26 in the video). It is one of the nicest finished 1911's I've seen yet.

The polished blue is my favorite finish on a firearm of any kind.  In addition, the extensive polishing also serves to de-horn the gun.  The last time I visited a Cabelas, I picked up a Colt, GI 1911A1 and immediately drew blood from racking the slide.  All of it's surfaces were extremely sharp.
