My, my. Does that not bear an uncanny resemblance to John Moses Browning's Model of 1911?
Why yes, I reckon it does. Apart from the CeraKote-style finish, beavertail grip safety & Commander hammer, BoMar type rear sight, accessory rail, and goofy looking grips (so I'm partial to exotic wood grips), its innards are essentially - possibly totally - identical to my SS Series 80 Mk IV.
Now don't that just beat all? And in an adult caliber, no less!

It didn't say but I assume it's a .45? I don't care for the white finish but otherwise I like it!
Between the M45 designation, 1911 form, and being for Marines, not pansies, it'd have to be .45 ACP.
Read a review the other day on a Steyr (the other Austrian handgun) in .357 Sig. Will have to see if Cabela's carries them.
I have never really been a fan of "colored" guns. I mean unless it's a sniper rifle or something. the bulk of the firearms I own are just regular ol' black. I have one stainless 1911 and it's a big fat pain to keep clean.
My $.02. That is cool-looking though. Just not for me.
