    This internet gun stuff is really starting to get stupid.

    I actually priced this stuff out recently:
    Threaded VP9: $550
    Rmr cut: $250ish
    RMR: $400
    Heine sights: $100

    Or I forgot:
    Watching YouTube while stoking your barrel: priceless.
    So it kinda makes sense...

    Is that the Noir guy's signature piece?

    Yup, I'm guessing that's why they think some burnt plastic and laser logos double the value. The sad part is, people will pay for it.
    Here's the thing though, I'll pay for the time it takes a master gunsmith to file and tune to turn a heap of oversized tool steel parts into the symphony of perfection and flawless function that is a WC 1911.
    However, the monetization of Instatube worship is ducking silly. God Bless America though. Lol

    Funny thing is that the same people who will buy that and $2000+ Glocks are the same people who talk about how Wilson, Nighthawk, Baer etc. 1911s are overpriced.

    And won't spend $2-400 on a decent instructor either.
    I've had some "plastic melting" done to because the gen 1 grip on a M&P is slick but it seems a lot of Youtube guys are bringing out signature firearms for the masses.

    FrankT must have valued the gun for that guy or it's Frank's sale ad.

    I'd mount a light, laser, and a bipod on that rail. Possibly a quick disconnect single point sling mount if it isn't getting too cluttered then you could do some things with it. Backup for this tactical piece of machinery
