Just a guess, but probably close to what their SAI MK25 kit costs which is $395.

I think it's approx $595 as the barrel is stainless steel laser engraved, and the grips are metal, coated and laser engraved.

The gold coating on an aluminium barrel would wear fast, and would be expensive to make as an optional extra later on.

I think the two of these parts alone woukd cost $185, as they wanted to make it as close to the older full Prime kits without the obvious more expensive price of them.

The newer SAI style sight are also included, along with recoil barrel plug.

The frame is similar to the older WA frame in that it's got a full length rail for the slide to move on as opposed to the usual smaller size internal rails and rail-spacer/adaptor piece.

You are complaining about the shiny slide, but the big shiny yellow barrel doesn't bother you?

 

 

Squad already knows my view on the barrel! I'm a fan of silver barrels rather than the gold. However, it'd still have been nice for the slide to have been matt, even on the RS! 

 

Still a very nice kit, I'm almost convinced!

There may be a limited amount of Matt-Silver versions of the Commander-kit made at the same time the full-size version is being processed for FEB release ;)

 

Anyone interested in custom orders contact me sooner rather than later :)

 

It will look like this RS without Caspian type frame.

What sort of price point for the silver version pal? Let me know on FB if you don't want to on here please!

Sees 1911 and Commander in the title, happy.

 

Realises it is a SAI based product, so so unhappy.

 

I will be honest, SAI stuff looks like *suitcase*, just my opinion and I am sure it appeals to many but seriously, on a 1911 it just looks awful.

 

Now an actually, proper Colt Commander would be nice, just not the expensive metal kit.

Don't mind it on Glocks too much, but a 1911? - it's just plain wrong..

Sorry have to disagree with your opinion FireKnife - no offence ;)

 

I'm not a great lover of the Gold/TiN barrels either on 1911s or SiGs for more traditional reasons :)

 

But I think the Stainless-Steel Black-Barrel on the Fullsize looks super,

and likewise the Stainless -Steel Silver Version on the Commander is Cool looking.

Squad, do you have any insight as to whether the more vanilla 1911s (kimber, springfield) will be updated to this unique inner frame system?

I don't think there are any plans, but I'll double check.

 

Including the SAI's there will be a total of 10 new Nova 1911 releases in the first quarter all going well,

including the S70 reissue that should be at least six more kits to come.

 

I know some recommendations of mine are to be included, I just don't know which yet :(

More than likely SFA and Kimber type guns, not reissues ;)

 

Cheers.

Still not my type of thing but that is just me, so no offence taken at all. Personally you shouldn't mess too much with a good classic design by just giving it a new body and all these fancy things that are really kind useless. Even on the Glocks I think it is silly and I am not a Glock fan.

 

Now if only there was a proper Commander (or Officer) model that didn't cost so much.......
