Re: 1911 US-made vs. foreign-made

But does anyone have a definitive list? I'm not ready to buy my first 1911 yet, but when I do I'd like to get a 100% American-made gun if I can afford to do so.
All Springfield frames and slides are made from Brazil. The more expensive guns Trophy Match and TRP and up are assemblied here in the US. Even the custom shop frames/slides are from Brazil. They do excellent forged frames/slides though. I think Wilson, Ed Brown, Nighthawks are all American made.
