I wonder if DW is building these for them or will it be CZ's first 1911?

When I contacted CZ they would not say who or where the new pistols were coming from..

1. Does it really need to say made in the USA on the slide, when the frame clearly states, Kansas City, KS

2. Why the different fonts and printing depths of the roll marks on the left side?

CZ and 1911 A1 should have the same stamp depth. Did there really need to be such a huge gap in spacing between Cal and 45 also?

Some may think this is nitpicking, but if you're going to do something, do it right, not half assed.

Dan Wesson is building the CZ 1911s per CZ rep...
A gunsmith friend of mine is a CZ and DW dealer. When I heard about the CZ 1911 coming out I asked him what he knew and if DW would be building them. He said that they'd ordered 4 of them but he didn't have any info beyond the press release but would check into it. Several weeks went by and I got this message from him yesterday when we were discussing something else -

Btw we had the CZ rep in the shop the other day. He said the cz 1911s are being made by Dan.
Thought you guys might find that interesting. I asked him about MIM parts but haven't heard back.
