So while browsing gun.com, I stumbled upon this factory comp 1911. At first glance I assumed it was after market but noticed the engraving on the slide. Anybody know when these came out? How they perform? Anybody have one they want to share. I am in no place to buy it but it’s pretty cool and would love some history on it.

SA made a number of different guns with factory installed comps back in the day. I have a PDP Defender that was made in 1993 and came with a compensator from the factory. I think they are cool, though they usually sell for a little less than the one you linked. There are factory comp models that came with a Bomar style rear sight and checkered front strap which are more desirable.
The PDP defenders are pretty awesome, it would be cool to see one in the wild. Care to share some pics?
