After buying a Mono Evolution govt earlier this year and deciding it was probably my favorite 1911 to date, I found some additional works of art from Dave for sale at Rainer Arms. I bought the Classic Govt Model they had today but there are two tactical models available as well one that's a commander and one that's Govt size.

We can be Googled. 😀

Here’s a birdseye view of what goes into a typical Evolution Armory 1911 build, basically step by step.

Building an Evolution Armory 1911 from start to finish

I thought I would document what goes into building a gun from the ground up using our Evolution Armory frames made by Jem and a Caspian slide. First I start off with the major frame machine work. This one starts off with the Chen Gen 2 install. First I remove the extra tab material before and...

Thanks for the repeat business and kind words Muffin. I’m glad you like that heavyweight Gov’t so much.

No, thank you Dave, love the work you do. I am surprised you don't advertise that you have some guns running around for sale from resellers here on addicts.

Very interesting to find at Rainier! I may be over in Auburn in a few days, I’ll have to stop by and see Dave’s current work.

Let me know ahead of time so I can clean up a little. It’s been a crazy couple of months and the shop is paying for it 🤣

I didn’t want to step over the line by advertising the guns for Ranier here. I’ve let people know about them but didn’t post this info publicly.

It’s been posted by other members before too.

I can’t say enough how much I love my evolution.

Or owners of them can tell me why they're worth five grand

Very simple. They are being nice to us by not charging 6 grand.

 

[Zif]

If Dave will build one for me for $5000, I'll mail the check in the morning. Value is in the eye of buyer. You can get drunk on rye whiskey or 100 year old brandy. It's just you're choice.
Gunguy- I was typing when you replied

 

[NeverENough]

5 or $6,000 pistol and you guys can't answer a simple question as to what makes it worth so much money? I guess it's not after all then.

Both the owners of them and the company clearly knows nothing about marketing and good press

 

[JM44]

Man that classic government is absolutely stunning! Wish I could swing it at the moment

 

[Au Jus in Bello]

I know nothing about these evolution 1911s so why is this worth 5 or $6,000?

That's worth a search as the question of why X 1911 at Y dollars is better/worse/same/different than A 1911 at B dollars has been done ad nauseam here and to no definitive conclusions because too much is subjective.

EA's work uses top materials, built by a master craftsman, taking his time to highly refine fit and aesthetics. That costs.

Well, as I was typing my above reply you posted this and Dunning-Krugered yourself right out of the conversation.

I do business there frequently, are you talking about the location in WA? I was just there and didn’t see anything but a couple nighthawks.

 

[Zif]

Ok. I'll try to answer. Fit, finish, and attention to the microscopic detail. Dave built exactly the pistol I WANTED. My commander bobtail shoots everything that it's fed and is a pleasure to shoot. And I can trust my life that it will do its job if called upon. "That's all I'm going to say about that."

Yeah when I called the number on the website I spoke to a gentleman in Washington state. If you click on the link in my initial post in this thread you will see their Evolution inventory.

I literally posted a link to a thread I did where I take you through every step of the build from start to finish. I don’t know what more I could do but here goes.

To answer your question about why they’re so expensive, one part is due to the cost of the parts used is 2 grand alone. Second, I use some of the more expensive and durable finishes on the market. Third, people like how I build a pistol. I build a full ground up pistol for the price of a Wilson Combat Supergrade. A semi custom pistol. The guns I build start out as total blank slates for the majority of them. Almost every option is added by me.

I hope that helps explain it a little better. Sorry my first answer was very short. I’m used to talking to these guys who already know about us.
