[QUOTE="BigRed82, post: 1152598, member: 3048"] General Consensus goes something like this: 1. Full Custom builds. ie. Something from the workbench of Yost, Harrison, etc. These are guns built to order from reputable 1911 gunsmiths. Many choose to use Caspian or Colt frames and slides as a base for builds. 2. Semi Custom. These are high quality, pre-built guns that generally have the same quality as custom guns but without the uniqueness of having your own "build". ie. Ed Brown, Wilson, Nighthawk, Springfield Custom, Les Baer, etc. 3. Production. These are the rest. These do not have the scrutinized, hand fitting of Semi Custom builds. There is a great amount of diversity in the overall quality of what is considered a "production" 1911. Compare a Dan Wesson CBOB to a Taurus 1911 for instance. Huge difference in quality. Still, both are considered "production". [/QUOTE]
