vickers 1911

2k price point does put it in the arena for some others. but i am partial to SA
wife said buy 2 garrisons in stainless steel ..i think she wants a new one as well
going after lunch to see my lgs and see if can shed light on lead time etc
i have yet seen one in the wild, so thats also a big concern.

Here’s my issue: it’s a production pistol; if it was a Professional-level piece, hell yes….

You can get a NIB Baer for $500 more—or less, if you look hard. Used Wilson’s for the same.
 
I didn't realize they were that expensive. Seems pretty steep for a 1911 with a fair bit of MIM and that isn't built/tuned by the Custom Shop. I'm less interested now. At that price, I'd be looking at a DW Specialist. Or, for several hundred less, I'd try to track down a TRP.

Specialist all day long over the TRP.

And this over the SA Vickers…

Vickers Master Class .45 ?

I own one, bought NIB 4 (?) yr ago not long after they came out…
$2k ?!? Just looked on Spgfld website and my jaw dropped. They were specifically ‘marketed’ by LV to be an affordable alternative to high $ customs; in his vid he talked about the collaboration and his goal of $1250-1350 price point - somehere in there but DEFINITELY below 1400.
I gave like 1250, iirc.

You don’t see them around hardly at all near me.

Far as the gun, it’s a cadillac - I’ve never had a failure. Fit/finish on my early one is remarkable. Any accuracy issues are me, not the gun. ( and yeah, they’re numerous 😉)… I believe it would shoot with the Spgfld Professional series.
I also expect this model will get phased out before much longer (just my suspicion).

Yeah, I want to say that the last time I looked at them, they were more like $1400. Wonder why such a big jump - have there been changes that justify it? Not that I could from the web description.
 
There was a like new Vickers for private sale a few months ago in northern AZ. If I remember correctly it was $1800. It was very tempting, but I got two Garrisons for less.

Inflation effects everything these days...you know who to thank for that.
