Ordered my first Custom Gun today! Joe Chambers 1911!

Beautiful! What's the build time? Do have an idea other than "long time"?

BTW, I've been waiting almost 23 months now for a Wilson Combat 1911 - ordered in June 2012.

4 1/2 - 5 years... Insane

That's crazy... of course, I guess you could just make payments as you go and call it an extended layaway.

I'll wait for something I want, but that's just a ridiculous amount of time.

Wow! Guess I should stop whinning about my measely 2 year wait.

finding a Chambers pistol is not as easy as it would sound... First most folks who by from Joe agree upfront if you are going to sell it, he gets first shot at buy back... He then offers it to a long and extensive list of previous buyers. So they almost never come up for resale.

The last one I saw literally lasted 40 seconds on the open market and sold for 2 grand over what the original buyer paid for it... I'll wait the 5 and in the meantime have fun with my Wilson, Baer, etc...

Once your pistol is in your hands the anticipation and patience required will all seem worth it. Mine took 3 years and was more than worth the wait.
