Texas based Republic Forge doesn’t have an assembly line. They build their top-quality 1911 pistols the old fashioned way. One at a time, by hand. The Valiant model has a 4.25″ barrel and features 25 LPI checkering on the front strap, G10 tiger stripe grips and a magwell frame. The pistol has fixed night sights and a Cerakote finish in Burnt Bronze.
