Stainless 1911 and 12g tactical shotgun for under 700?

Google says they are a Turkish gun company, probably a reason they are 600, you could get a nice used 1911 from a more reputable company for around this price

Obviously lower end firearms, but still not a bad deal.

If purchased for self defense purposes, lower end firearms are almost always a bad deal.

Glock seems to be doing ok nevertheless.

I hope so -- I carry one 24/7.

I don't consider Glocks to be "lower end" self defense firearms. They fall in the price range that one would pay for an M&P, some newer domestic SIGS, some Berettas, or even an XD. But price isn't the only determinent.

I'd be perfectly confortable with a $250 Glock or M&P for self defense (assuming I'd have a chance to inspect it).

I consider Turkish & Philipino defensive handguns (and plenty of domestic handguns, such as Kel-Tecs) to be in the "lower end" category. irrespective of price.

1911 FTMFW....... When a Glock hits 100yrs old and still slinging lead then we will talk time tested dependability

Fwiw I am a glock fan but don't bullshite yourself in to thinking it's more time tested than a good 1911
