Wonder what happened.

I suspect that they could not compete with all the other builders. Never owned any of their stuff but know people that have and they say it is some good'ish stuff. BUT THE PRICE !! It is not a huge step up to Noveske,LWRC,and some others.
I also believe what (ultimately) hurt them was all those queer chamberings. OSSM and the like. HUH!! . . WHY !!! --- SAWMAN

Nope, they bought a company to cast their 1911 parts and the first run of parts came out defective, then they got it all fixed up and the next run was bad also so they did not know what was wrong, and they had a lot of orders and could not build or furnish parts either one. I talked to them about it over a year ago and they were just screwed to the wall. They were still making Videky triggers and Safari grip safetys (my favorite grip safety) from my days shooting IPSC competition. Their stainless ambi extended safety was like $28 and Brownells was over twice as much. I used their parts for custom 1911 builds.
