    AB Prototype 1911 DW

    I must say.. a friend of mine recommended AB Prototype to me.. I ordered 12 weeks ago . The website was straightforward.. I spoke with Alex the owner to get a special type of porting added to my build.. they accommodated and built the gun exactly as I requested. The fit finish and function of the pistol is top-notch... the list of parts used to build a gun is the whose who in the 2011 marketplace... I would definitely recommend AB Prototype. And I would definitely buy from them again..

    Amazed at the value for this piece. AB uses all the best parts and fits them nicely. I ran a few hundred rounds through it at the range and had no issues.
