1911 style trigger and 1911-esque grip. There endeth the 1911 links!
All the same, I quite like it.
I don't have any personal attachment to 1911s so I guess I'm less likely to draw direct comparisons.
But here we have a pistol that is relatively compact, decent capacity, ostensilby decent ergos and what looks like an absurdly low bore-axis.
That should all make for an interesting pistol!
I do agree that the company should limit their attempts to boost this gun with tenuous links to the cult 1911 design with many strict followers.
There is enough going on to make this a potential success.
However, the problem is that many times people cry out for something novel, something that is not just a rehash of an existing design.
Yet when they get it people then shy away from it as too new and outside the comfort zone.
Could the same be happening here?
