Hello. I've not handled one yet, but am saving just in case. I'm told that the gun's dimensions, materials, etc are set by a Mr. Jardine, the late Armand Swenson's nephew. Jardine trained under Swenson. Fit and finish are described as first-rate by some over at www.snipercountry.com and at www.Pistolsmith.com, good words are said about the gun.
It's to be available soon, within a couple of months, I think. Also, one reviewer testing a pistol, bought it after shooting it.
The first model is a full-sized 1911 with Bomar-like adj sights low-mounted in the slide. 30lpi on the front grip strap and 4lb trigger, match bbl/bushing fitted to slide.
Cost: $1199.
I've been told that Valtro intends "to do to Kimber what Kimber did to Colt."
We'll see.
Best.
