Tyler and Trevor (? I think) were great to deal with, both in initial and follow on emails and actual ordering on the phone. The parts kit arrived quick to my FFL and not only thouroughly oiled but separated into small ziplocks with the slide and frame each being separated.

Up front, my only complaint is on the product page. In one place (obvious, but I missed it initially) it says "no grips." But in the parts list it does list grips as included. They are not. So make sure you have some plans for grips.

This was my first foray into 1911s. I've wanted a GI-ish model (retired Army) and when the CMP came in real high (out of my budget) I started snooping for other sources, coming across Fusion a few years ago. I've built/rebuilt ARs, a couple BAs, and Glocks. After becoming an internet certified expert (haha) I dove in. Looking at the parts, some of the "common" things to modify seemed to be done already (not looking to go crazy... yet). The assembly was anticlimatic, everything went together perfectly (...minus grips). Function check was fine. Hit the range for a quick 100rd "break in." Not sure if it really needed a break-in because it was so smooth. 100 mild reloads downrange, no issues. Did shoot "mad max" style w/o grips. Those arrived today and look beautiful. Look forward to doing business with Fusion again.

Anyone out there thinking about this kit? worried about what you may need to do to get it to work? Don't, get the kit, go slow. I'm happy with mine.
