Oh, I'm not saying the filipino gun are bad guns at all, cause I have my sights on a RIA right now. I know the springers are mostly made brazil, but I disagree about the springer not functioning well, but I can't argue cause I've never had a springer...
@90foxfreak "AC" doesn't make anything. Metro Arms is the company that makes the American Classic run of 1911s. Their Compact is called the MAC Amigo and is similar to the ATI FX TITAN in appearance. They are both 3 inch bull barrel 1911s.
@HYBRIDCOMBATIVES I know Metro Arms makes the american classic!!!!!! I was asking if there was a American Classic compact 1911.. I know all about the Amigo now, Ive done my research. I can get a Springer for the price of an amigo. Thanx anyway..
@90foxfreak You'll put another 200 dollars into it (likely) to function well. Every Springfield I have owned was junk out of the box (GI and Mil-spec not high end). You aren't getting any advantage by buying a Springfield that is under 850-1000 dollars compared to the Filipino guns. Springfield farms out most of their manufacturing as well, and half their line up isnt built in the US either (Croatia and Brazil). Your better off with a 700 dollar Kimber if you are wanting to climb the ladder.
@HYBRIDCOMBATIVES also you may want to check out the STI Spartan. It is a Filipino Frame and slide ( I dont know if it is armscor or MAC) with custom STI internals. They are real nice, and cheaper than springfield as well. Also look into the Ruger SR1911. All American parts.
@bayoulongbowman If you're workin with $1000, theres no way you shud buy an american classic. I wud go with the Ruger SR1911.... But thats just me. You can get a very, very good 1911 for $1000 or less.. Im not saying the AC is a bad piece at all, but you get what you pay for.
@bayoulongbowman damn 1000 bucks to spare? go with it man, mine cost 449. you can afford a colt or a springfield, but a metro arms american classic 1911 is just as good
Jeff, I went and bought the Serpa CQC holster, its cut away and has the trigger finger retention button on the side. Man what a great holster for this ACII 45 pistol. I love it so much <I bought TWO!! Great advise as usual Partner, Thank you :) Herb :)
I carry my Metro Arms "American Classic II" M1911 in 45ACP.
Made in the Philipines, has ALL the features of a top end KIMBER without the price, I paid $420 brand new for it.The fit & finish and RELIABILITY of this pistol is OUTSTANDING folks,I kid you not!
Defensive shooting is like this: 230 grains goes into a 200 pound target ,ONE time ,with NO remainder!
A gun is like a seatbelt, if you don't have it ON when you need it, then it's already TOO LATE"! (by: ME!!!!!)
Hey Jeff At YOUR advice, I bought this pistol, Now show me a nice hideaway Holster for it. $45 or less maybe? I just carry at home now until my CCW is in. Thanks Buddy! BOOGEYMAN (Channell 19)
Hey Jeff: Cant we put LOCK TIGHT on any moving or falling off parts? I hear folks saying stuff coming of like the sights or whatever. Wont that work ok? Thanks Buddy!
I took my MetroArms ACII to the range today for the first time. I shot S&B 230gr fmj and it was flawless. It shot point of aim. It is a keeper and I love it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no issue about the gun... but i just couldnt help but notice that he is not wearing any eye protection and he almost fumbled and dropped the gun when he inserted the magazine... tsk! tsk!
It's not made in Spain. It's made in the Philippines. The one made in Spain by Llama was discontinued due to numerous quality issues. The Firestorm series was then awarded to Metroarms Corporation of the Philippines.
I own a Metroarms Firestorm Contended in hardchrome which is my daily carry pistol replacing my Steyr M9A1. This pistol is more reliable than the Austrian made pistol.

Any gun dealer should be able to get one for you. if you are in the US, it should cost much, much less than $1000 US.

Jeff those things aren't always "bad" for ya , in fact I count them as great , all that boils down to is living free and enjoying every second.
Thanks again for putting up such great reviews and videos to boot!
Anywho hope this 10th year sees you and yours well , have a safe happy and great year!

Good luck finding one for $360, I paid $389 for a deluxe and that was before the current round of panic buying.
Love the gun but both the front and rear sights came flying off during shooting requiring a little work to fix.
He forgot to mention that the gun only comes shipped with one mag, but it is a high quality AMT, so no issues there.
WinchesterRanger 2 years ago
yup! same problem here bro..the rear sights came flying off of my 45 commander hard chrome series when I was shooting a few round at the range

Yup, it's that crappy set screw - it isn't worth a damn.

I really like this guy, got that accent but obviously isnt a dumbass. Seems like a southern hospitality kind of guy, haha.
The deluxe is about $360, the standard 340, depending on where you shop. I would go with the deluxe, and will very soon.
