I took a little ribbing from my proof reader. She asked if I had changed my mind about foreign made 1911 handguns. No, I have not changed my mind about well made 1911 handguns versus 1911s caught in the race to the bottom to make the cheapest gun. The Magnum Research 1911 is made in Israel and as my friend Don W. said, ‘The Israelis don’t make junk.’ So how does Israel handle an American classic? Very well to say the least. The pistols are well made of the best material. The fit of the slide ways, slide rails, slide, barrel hood and locking lugs is good. When you roll the slide to the rear you feel a solid unlock and lockup. The fit of the slide lock safety, trigger action, and grip safety are excellent.
