Texas Jim Henry, SASS #20616 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Got an email today from Turnbull Restorations touting their new .45 ACP produced for Wild Bunch. Passing along a link, FYI... Wild Bunch pistol Regards, TJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slate mike sass#29204 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Very nice looking pistol. A little on the steep side for a plain 1911, even with the Turnbull finish and your SASS # for serial #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncho Billy Aronson Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 What are they thinking? WAY too much. You can almost get two Colts for that price. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have a stock parkerized 1911 that I've shot Wild Bunch matches with. Even loaded some 45 ACPs with the Sacred Incense for a really exciting match one time. I really like Turnbull's work, but this is not an appropriate use of his skills in my opinion. I would not be buying one. But then, I'm sure he'll sell a few, and I'd be happy for both the buyer and seller who found something that made them both happy.

Goatneck Clem Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Turnbull's new WB 1911 is a outstanding Custom Made Pistol. As stated in a previous post it has your SASS # as the serial # and Wild Bunch is engraved on the slide. As compared to a Custom Made 1911 from Les Baer or Wilson Custom the price is right in line. I had the change to inspect Turnbull's 1911 last month. Did not have time to shoot it but I will certainlly order One. The Slide fit to the receiver was tight and fitted correctly. It comes with a Match Barrel and the lockup on the lugs and hood were perfect. Just what one would expect from a Match Quality 1911. I am sure some folks will not buy this quality of 1911 based on Turnbulls price. But if you are a shooter that appreciates quality and performance and it is legal for WB Traditional or Modern than his 1911 would fit in collection.

Guest fastarget Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Good review coming from GC, It would be more interesting if it was known where the parts are coming from? are they tool steel parts or MIM, are the guns hand fitted and by whom, are the barrels Kart, Wilson or? It is the same price as a Baer and Brown, but will it perform like one? There would be more interested buyers, especially SASS shooters that know their guns, if more specifics were to be known, at least it would be for me, only my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 One beautiful pistol indeed. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketchum Quick, SASS #72923 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Nice looking pistol but I will rather have my SA Mil-Spec for Wild Bunch and keep the extra $1300. I could buy a nice rifle or a set of Rivers with the money that I'd save. KQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
