If you're looking for a budget 1911, Ithaca's new line isn't quite for you. Ithaca is after the factory "custom" market with their reintroduction of the WWII 1911 and a "modernized" 1911.
GI 1911:
- This well built and smooth pistol with a sweet trigger pull reminds me of the SHOT Show Special Colt 1991 I have. It's release and MSRP is still in the air, but I expect it to be higher than $1200. This commemoration to the WWII era 1911 will come with a presentation case and, at this time, will likely be produced in limited quantities (maybe 500 or so).

Did put finger prints on lots of Hawkeye's and No#1's. The Sands Expo center is a nice facility. Spent all day walking and looking at everything I could see and still have not seen half of it. Will take a few cell phone pictures tomorrow. Happy to have the show back in Vegas.
