Seriously overpriced. If I wanna spend that kind of money on a 1911, I'm going to a known name with a proven track record for this frame. Les Baer and the likes.

From wikipedia:

Rock River Arms is owned and operated by brothers Mark and Chuck Larson.[2] Between 1981 and 1991 the Larsons worked at Springfield Armory, Inc., where Mark was the head armorer. From Springfield Armory, the Larsons went into partnership with Les Baer to form Les Baer Custom and build custom 1911 pistols.

I'm certainly not questioning the quality of the gun, just the pricepoint. It IS too high.
