Heard a rumor.

This is kinda cool, there's not a lot locally made any more

 

[fireman28]

I thought all the newer guns had the safety on both right and left side.

As for a website, this is the closest I could get to an actual site: SWS-Trimac, Inc. | Commercial Industry Welding

They need a spell checker.

Um...not really. Some people really do prefer the single side safety. Plus, I suspect it is an option.

I have shot one of the models they have. Trigger pull is very smooth with just enough resistance to feel right. I personally enjoyed putting about 50 rounds thru this gun! Definitely if Sniper Co. is doing to be doing a demo check it out!

So excited to see interest! You can check us out at SB Firearms on Facebook. Still working on a website. Machined in Fort Wayne. Offer Finger Grips, Straight Grips and at this time 4 different slide choices. Shoot me a message with any questions. Can buy directly! THANKS!!

Lets keep it on this thread for everyones info. Added on facebook. I like what I see. What kind of options do we have? Calibers? Any plans for the future? Brochures to tantalize me while I save my pennies? Price Sheet for direct? My LGS is wanting to contact you to be a dealer as well so could you PM me or mail me some information? That would be awesome.

Get a pricesheet up STAT! WHo cares if you have to attach an excel spreadsheet to your facebook page, let us know the pricing so we can start a convoy up there with jars full of cash.

I went to Sniper Co. today and handled one of these. I gotta say I'm really excited, I had been saving my pennies for a Ruger SR1911, but these being locally made is just too cool.

What was the price tag and what features

 

[RandomCubed]

$1400
- I know this puts them in the same price range as a Les Baer or Kimber custom shop job, but for all the world it felt and balanced like a super premium tier 1911.
Features
-It came with 2 8 rnd mag, a really nice diver's box, a couple of locks, and a bushing wrench.
-apparently there are several slide and frame configurations, but I only saw one.
-their facebook page says that they can sell direct, I'm not sure how this works (I mean sans ffl)

 

[Miketodd]

Man, these look amazing. Maybe Blythes will get one in so i can go oogle over them. I definantly was saving the pennies for a new 1911...might have to save more now.

 

[Double T]

Considering they are local and have a manufacturing ffl, of course they can sell direct.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Very interesting. I would love to see Indiana sprout a vibrant firearm manufacturing industry and would do my part to support it. Especially if I can barter beer for another 1911.

I'd like to see it in person, sometime. I didn't see an answer as to whether the frames and slides are forged or cast, locally or imported, and if all the small parts are machined or what. The beavertail curve match to the frame looks a little funny in that first pic, but that might just be the angle the gun is sitting at.

Might have to make a trip north.

They can be fit to be "smooth" either in the holster, or in the hand. I believe this one is setup to be smooth in hand with the grip safety deactivated. I prefer them that way :-)

Updated.

Looking forward to hearing more about them and whether you will be offering different sizes/configurations/rails.

Thanks and welcome to INGO!

What calibers?

What calibers?

.45

Huh, When I saw this thread I thought it was going to be about the J.B. Custom shop in Huntertown, just North of Ft. Wayne. When I stopped in he was putting together 1911s to the tune of $1,000-$2,500. He machines his own lever gun receivers and barrels so I'm assuming he does so with his 1911s also. He had some full size, commander, and maybe an officer....can't remember. Really cool to see another local company surface.

10mm Commander???????

Not sure but just buy a 40 Super Barrel and you'll never miss your 10mm.
