They actually have two nice pieces. Anyone know if these 1911 kits are for sale yet?

EDIT: Wow! I just notice they have a lot in the Works.

Thats pretty pricey for what it is. and its not even steel.

It'd cost even more if it was machined from steel, it's not like aluminium is dirt cheap to machine, machining a slide, frame, barrel and compensator set from solid alu billets (which they seem to be doing going from all their photos on facebook) will take quite a bit of time (hours) and given that the WE TT33 is a reletivly obscure pistol anyway they've probably priced the kit appropriately for a small potential sales volume.

 

I don't think it's expensive for what it is, but it's certainly expensive for what it's for, a WE pistol that costs nearly 1/4 of the price.

Well, Costs of CNC machining aside, the cost of the materials, in this case probably 6061 aluminum, is negligible. We're talking maybe, at most, $5-$10 worth of aluminum. So then taking into account the cost of set up, $370 for an aluminum part like this, which will likely have many hundreds made in the run, seems excessive, even for what it is. I could probably make one on my manual machines for less. So unless they're only making 10 of them, its quite high.

 

And yes, its also crazy for what its for. an $80 WE pistol, which is already made of "aluminum". So it doesnt even really offer any real advantage over the starndard WE parts. Yes the WE ones are some mysterious aluminum alloy, but that wont make much of a difference to the end user, especially since they seem to be shipping them unfinished, without even anodizing to protect the surface. They would be better off just offering the compensator and extended outer barrel as a set to whoever it is that an ugly compensated TT33 appeals to.

 

The steel KSC M9 slide is intriguing though, But judging by the price of the TT33 parts, It will probably be more expensive then the already existing RA-Tech steel slide.

Derp. Just realized Mafioso Arms aren't even real guns. And they kept saying "firearm" all over the place. With that, the only thing I like is their John Dillinger custom .38 Super, but that's because it was used by an actual mobster with historical value and design aesthetics they couldn't claim as theirs. As with the rest, the only thing left to do is gold plate everything because they couldn't get any more gaudy. Original, sure, but so is Gaddafi's gold Hi-Power. They need to fire their designer as there are buttloads of better mafia related things they can make/sell like:

-Hitman Silverballer slides in 5" and 7"

-Raging Bull aluminum set

-Castor Troy 1911
