Take this for what it's worth...Steve himself will tell you that he's not the gunsmith I am. I consider Steve above Greg Derr in the area he covers. Greg does a different thing. Chuck is in a class by himself.
You can't compare guys that modify existing guns to guys that MANUFACTURE guns and have all the equipment to do so. It's just not the same thing.
Now...someone send me your base Colt and see what I do with it, then we'll talk.

Good list, but of course I'm sure there would be a lot of people who disagreed with it. I do appreciate that they evaluate guns that they want to, without being pressured not to review guns just because they are expensive. I get tired of people griping about that very thing in letters to the editor in some of my favorite gun magazines. If you don't know about the absolute best guns available, how will you know what to aspire to? I've been reading about guns I couldn't afford since I was a snot nosed, wet behind the years, knee high to a grasshopper rug rat! Because of that, I have learned what quality truly is, and own or have owned guns that I could only dream about when I was young. One thing I would say about the video: The narrator considers Alchemy/Cabot to be the very pinnacle of 1911's built today. What's he gonna do when he finds out about @pistolwretch , or @Integrity Arms , or @Greg Derr ? His freaking head may explode, or his bank account will implode... LoL, then he'll learn the definition of a true 1911 Addict!!
I do appreciate the fact that he (and I guess his son?) do appreciate the genius of JMB's timeless masterpiece. They do devote a lot of time the 1911, and have a great deal of videos featuring our drug of choice. He is learning though, and maybe we can help him along in his journey towards enlightenment. After all, recruiting new addicts only adds to the family, and we do love helping other people spend their money .-)
