Fusion Firearms

the quality is all over the place. you may even get something different than what you ordered.

 

This is a heated topic sometimes. So everyone please keep it civil.

​

 

Not saying that they are all bad, but there are things that i personally saw that changed my mind when i was going to order one a few years ago. It seems like the older ones were put together better than the current ones.

Also they use frames/slides from a few different sources, namely Remsport and STI, so if you are buying a kit, i don't see a problem

 

When it comes to Fusion, the topic gets heated responses, so he was just putting that up before hand.

No, Fusion doesn't make their own frames.

Yes, Bob Serva used to own Dan Wesson. There is a difference in quality from when he owned it to the present DW (owned by CZ-USA)
The Serva era DW's were nowhere near the quality of the CZ-USA DW's.

 

and to make things clear, here's a quote from Bob Serva in regards to the frames.

 

He's over on GlockTalk and 1911forum. Not a good experience at all.

 

there are a lot of fanboy's out there, then there are people that see what they might get (from pics that they post). one may be happy with the results, other's would be extremely pissed.

for instance, someone ordered a "custom" built gun requesting NO Browning cut's or ball cuts, while it's not what he ordered, that's what he received. I for one would've sent it back to make the gun that I ordered.
another ordered a kit for i think a 9mm, and received a .40S&W and got a bit of the run around.

then there's fit, such as this grip safety. i've seen plenty of them like this, which i personally wouldn't be satisfied with seeing it's a "custom" gun.





compared to my "production" springfield.



the fanboy's will say that the Fusion fit was do to polishing, while other would say it's just sloppy.

so look at a wide variety of examples and see it it's something that you would be happy to spend your money on.

 

Nobody was uncivil at all bro. Just like what Don said, I have seen these discussion about Fusion get WAY out of hand on other forums and I didn't want it to happen here. I personally have no experience with Fusion products, so I don't participate in the discussions.

 

are there Fusion's for $1000? the ones i've seen have been +$1500. IIRC, the one i was going to have Bob build me was $1700

for $1000, the STI Trojan or Ranger II would be might personal choice.

 

yep, i look for the best deals as well, which many of my 1911 were deals, and I have 2 that would be a double coupon deal.

what type of 1911 are you looking for?
