Are they high quality and reliable?

I have a Ithaca 1911 which I am trying to get more information about. I understand that Springfield provided Ithaca 6,000 Colt frames in (mostly) unfinished state of manufacture to aid in Ithaca getting into production. The key word being (mostly). Were complete Colt frames provided to Ithaca...

Good evening. New here, not sure if this is the correct forum. My grandfather was a Captain during WWII in Europe, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge and earned a medal there. Eventually he fought in the Korean War and was a Lt Col before retiring and being a military policeman on an Air Force...

SOLD! Thanks to all who Replied! Hi Folks, I am considering trading my WWII Ithaca. It was manufactured in 1945, is correct, and easily in 99% condition. You wont ever see a better one, IMHO. Trade value is 2800.00, and I'm looking for an interesting 1911. More pics are available through...

Hi Folks, I'm selling a terrific example of a WWII 1911A1. It is 100% correct, and looks better in person. Priced at 2900.00 shipped from my FFL to yours. Thanks for looking!

I ran across this killing time last week going to visit FBF last weekend. I have done some research, looked on shotgun forums and such, and am torn on this gun. I have been wanting an O/U shotgun for years, and of course, they make them cheap, and there is the 'cry once' theory. So, what do...

I couldn't pass this one up. It's clean on the outside, and even cleaner on the inside. Slight high edge wear and very light browning on the grip strap are the detractors. Internally, parts show almost no finish wear, including barrel bed and locking lugs.

Typical uninformed new guy question: Which would you prefer and why? An Ithaca ProFit (price range 1300 to 1600??) or a Dan Wesson in the same price range? Will

I'm looking at getting a premium full size 1911 for every day carry. Must be carbon steel and forged or machined from billet. the one that is "calling" me; just based on what little I've been able to find out about it, is the new Ithaca. 2nd choice is a Baer UTC. I'm really looking for input...

any idea on value of this pistol?

A local shop has had this Ithaca sitting on their shelf for a few months minimum, since I was Coonan shopping last year. I would like to hear from anyone that has any experience with these and his we'll do they hold their value? I'm approx 50 miles from Upper Sandusky,Ohio where Ithaca is...

Start at $1K and up from there... disappointing IMO, but I still would like to own one. http://www.alloutdoor.com/2016/01/19/a-cmp-1911-update-from-cmp-chief-operating-officer-mark-johnson/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=2016-01-22&utm_campaign=Weekly+Newsletter

Hey guys, I just wanted to say hello, and thank you for the wealth of information on this forum. I am not new to guns, but I did just pick up my first 1911. I purchased the Ithaca, that Brian (bac1023) had for sale. It is everything he said it was, and more. He was fantastic to work with...

I need to sell an Ithaca M1911A1 for my late fathers estate and I am pretty handgun ignorant. It is marked "M 1911 A1 US Army". It has these markings: "P" on top of the slide, "P" between the trigger and the handle, "FJA" between the trigger and the handle, "C" on the other side of the gun on...
