Yeah, I checked the reviews and about the only thing anybody had against them
was that the frame was cast and not forged.  Then the reviewers went on to say
that cast was probably "good enough" and didn't seem to affect the quality of
the arm at all.  I'm quite satisfied with mine.  I like the Parkerized finish. 
I have one other "plain Jane" 1911, that being a Norinco 1911A1 that I bought
from a friend who was trying to sell off her step-father's gun collection after
he died.  Other than that, I have a couple of Auto Ordnance Trump
commemoratives.  Not really interested in building a match gun out of any of
them, mainly for personal carry or plinking in the back yard - the
commemoratives are going into a shadow box for display purposes...

Have a grand day!
