The only Turnbull I had ever looked at was the Ruger No. 1 they made into 475 Turnbull. Just so happens that I found a 1911 they made today at Cabela's, not in the gun library as a used one, but a NEW one. Some of the nicest bluing I have ever had the pleasure of touching. I went to Turnbull's website and tried to get some more information on it but could only find information on ones built with military slide stamps. The one we have is a plain slide version that looks like a replica of the first version of the 1911. Anybody have some information on this one? Seems a bargain at $1799 since Turnbull's site has the military stamp ones listed for $3895.

Can't specifically tell you about that one at Cabelas, but I do know Turnbull did/does the bluing for C&S's commerative 1911s. Bill Laughridge showed me a prototype of the finishwork on the trigger guard back in 2010. BEAUTIFUL......as a 1911 man myself....fair price for something to sit in the safe. Future worth unknown and personally no interest....my two cents as a now Glock carrier (I can bang it on stuff and not feel bad :) )

I've seen one of the Turnbull repro USGI 1911's. It was a thing of beauty.
