kujo929 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Maybe Infinity?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 SV is north of 10K for the latest and greatest. But im sure you could find an engraver who sells some gun for well over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity is pretty expensive but some other small custom builders often charge more. I know of builders who fit the grip to your hand, spend time at the range with you to gauge features you may or may not need, need an ample supply of the ammo you plan to run in the gun so they can test as they go, and can do any specialized milling to the gun you could possibly desire, etc. In other words, true custom build. That can cost on par or slightly more than an Infinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelRiose Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I wonder if you could get a solid platinum DPP. Otherwise the optic would definitely hurt the aesthetics a little bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunracer1 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 i have held some pretty high dollar infinitys, lots of engraving. they will build you what ever you want, just bring the check book. if you can think it, Brandon will help you apply it to steel.

Are you trying to find out how much you have to pay to get the most reliable, the strongest gun, so you would get your money worth while beating s#!t out of it in matches? Or is this just a hypothetical exercise in silliness? Certainly you can get your gun "beautified" to no limit. A friend of mine used to engrave the $750,000 hunting rifles... he would be happy to take your $50K or even more. I am attaching the photo of one of his works for your consideration.

stardust tommy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 take a look at Chambers custom pistols, Joe builds first class bullseye pistols that shoot sub 1" @50y... he also builds open pistols Accuracy X is the same than you have an accurate and correct build pistol you can spent a lot on special engravings/milling/laser cuts and still have a 3" or more gun @ 50yards if you look at the new Bull sasII balasteros you pay a few thousand dollars/euro's and the piringpin stopplate isn't even cut to the correct hight of the slide... SVI is nice and looks cool but they don't won the bianchi cup, PPC nationals or bullseye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any 1911 smith who knows what he's doing can build that. Not like it's rocket science or something. As for SV, I'm sure they could build guns that are more than adequate for Bianchi, PPC, or Bullseye if someone wants one.

The guns that win the major shoots (as if the gun itself actually won anything) are the ones provided by the winner's sponsor. If SV hires enough world class shooters, their guns could indeed win what ever competition their pros entered. As the cliche goes; it's the Indian, not the arrow.
