PSA brand 1911’s.. now a thing

So just noticed this the other day. Psa putting together their own 1911’s.. gi- 399$, enhanced 499, 10mm 550$.. ought to put some pressure on the PI and turk imports.

They released some a few years ago. I don’t know why they quit but it seems like they partnered with a new manufacturer (Rock Island) to private label some. Still an import but PSA branded.

I believe these are Rock Island 1911s. There is nothing in the description indicating they are American made. The 10mm version looks exactly like the Rock Island I bought a couple weeks ago.

Duh. Sometimes there is actual benefit to completely reading the product description.
