Do a little research, Lon Horiuchi should probably be in jail. One the basic and rudimentary rules for weapons use is to know what is beyond your field of view, and yes, I think that includes closed doors. As a professional he took a shot that should have never been made. If HS Precision took some heat for using him, or his name, it was well deserved heat. Yeah I know, arm chair quarterback and all that, but a closed door is a closed door. Additionally why should a federal agent be given immunity, when acting within their capacity as an agent, and a civilian contractor in a war zone be hung out to dry, or hung from a bridge, take your choice. Some bad choices made by both entities, but one was protected and one was not. But back to basics, we are talking about a simple pistol made by one of the most reputable gun manufacturers in the world. The thing about Sig Sauer pistols and rifles is that they work. They work every time you pull the trigger and do not come with instructions that say; "put 500 rounds through this pistol to break it in." For those worried about purchasing an American made product, please take the time to look at the frame of your Sig and you will most likely see Sig Sauer Inc., Exeter, NH. At least Sig is creating manufacturing jobs for Americans and you can't say that about Glock, Springfield Armory, Taurus, and other companies to numerous to mention. Has Para Ordinance moved here yet? And as far as price goes I can only relate what a salesman told me when I was looking for a motorcycle helmet. "If you think your head is only worth $100.00 then you should by all means buy a $100.00 helmet. If you place more value than $100.00 on your head then let me show you something else. Can't say there is much difference between pistols and motorcycle helmets. To the Monitor: Completely off subject, if you choose not to post it I understand your policy.

I can just about gaurantee, I have seen and experience more violence or combat than 90 percent of the pussies up here but I don't glorify mercenaries and dam sure don't think its cool to kill poor innocent middle eastners. If you John Wayne wannabes put as much passion in going after the corrupt corporations and politicians that are destroying america maybe we could have a real democracy and a better country.

Mine looks just like the original Blackwater 1911's except it has brown rosewood grips instead of the black or charcoal wood grips. Mine also shows only 100 were made. Mine is number 69 out of 100 on the slide. I couldnt help but buy that one. I got it off a guy that worked as a contractor for BW and said it was a very limited run they gave employees from their pro shop. It is a beautiful gun that has already gone up a little over %100 over the retail price. I see it as a nice piece of history. My beautiful wife got it for me as a birthday present and I will never part with it, just pass it along to my son or daughter.

My blackwater is longer but lighter and i think very well balnced. I,ve carried the m9 overseas and i would just like to slap the officer who came up with the idea for us to carry that piece of awesome equipment over a 1911. Over all a great gun overpriced simply because of bw tag but i dont know anyone who has even heard of one might be worth more than i paid in 5 yrs.

From what I am told this is the Blackwater without the logo(s). I have a variety of 1911's, other Sigs, Springfield Armory, and Kimbers, but the Tactical Operations is perhaps the most accurate, user friendly, 1911 I have ever taken to the range. If I had to choose between keeping the Tactical Operations or my Kimber Combat Gold, the Kimber would be on the way out of the door, and I like my Kimbers.

I read about this Blackwater 1911 in the last Guns & Ammo edition so that's why I got interested in this one. Hello Steve,

It was a limited edition and since blackwater have been renamed (to "Xe"), they will never make anymore. Dave, I don’t think so.
