Umarex USA Regent R100 .45 ACP 1911
Umarex USA will soon be importing their first centerfire pistol, the Regent .45 ACP 1911. This pistol, manufactured by the Turkish firm Trabzon Gun Industry, was previously imported by IAC. Umarex have told me that they have been working closely with Trabzon to ensure more strict quality standards. Unlike the previous Regent 1911s imported by IAC, the Umarex Regent all feature Hogue grips.
From the press release …
The steel investment cast frame gives the Regent the weight of the original M1911, while the 7--round steel detachable magazine allows for quick reloading. The wide spur hammer, arched mainspring housing, and low cut ejection port are all designed to give maximum performance and accuracy. From the standard feature Hogue® grips to the stainless steel hammer forged barrel, the Regent is truly an outstanding value for the quality.
The MSRP for the blued version of $499. A stainless version will be introduced later this year with a retail price of $599.

I purchase the R100 six months ago and love it. Fit and finish are excellent. I have found the gun to be very accurate up to 30 yds in my testing. 500 plus rounds and zero problems. Picked mine up for $299.99.
This may be a necessary tangent. Just purchased a SAR K2 14+1, after very reluctantly selling my old but mint 7+1. What a beauty for the price and best shooting 45 OTB I've ever shot. It IS all steel and not only pretty (I got the 2 tone SS slide/Blue-blk. frame) it has fabulous DA and SA trigger, full adjustable rear sight and accurate as any 45 in price range and some costing much more. I am tickled. Price for the Blue/black model is about what you're considering here for this inferior piece--waaay inferior not way cheaper though.
