Looks like a Winner to Me! I would say it will hit the streets in February/March.

But why another retro model? People want the bells and whistles, not bone stock. That's just my opinion.

Not everybody If it's close in quality to the Wessons for $250-300 less I'm interested. CZ has a reputation for building quality firearms. My 75 is built like a tank and has zero issues. Hopefully this 1911 will follow suit. I'll post if and when I hear back from CZ..

Maybe to get in to the RIA market.

There must be a good market for the retros since so many companies are making them. Usually around the $500 mark though.

I thought maybe this was a DW dressed up differently, so I looked at the specs and it's a carbon steel frame. All the DWs have stainless steel or aluminum frames.

Curious, to say the least!

I agree with you , for this I would get a RIA for way less. I know its a good quality gun, both RIA and CZ but just not putting up $900 or whatever for it.....

I agree . I bought a Rock A1 it was Ok for back up . The A1s is a backup for an AR 15 . As a primary defense they need work , or carry an AR around with you . JMHO
