The Brazil thing about the Pro model was discussed extensively on the 1911forum.com
According to all accounts there, the Pro frames/slides are forged in Brazil. They are left unfinished, until they arrive here. ALL machining and finishing is done in the US.
The Springfield Armory factory rep on-line there would not confirm it, but she would not deny it either.
She would not say that they are forged in the US, when asked that specifically. Only that they are machined in the US. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I couldn't find the post by Deb but since LK McVay closes every thread when someone asks about Brazilian Frames on the Pro, I'm sure you are correct and the Pro, like all the rest of the SA's, are forged in Brazil.
