I havent read every post on here but are you not going to carry a more exclusive higher end 1911 maker such EB, Wilson, LB, NightHawk, etc etc
The name recognition alone would probably bring in more traffic and create possible sales, just a thought

Congratulations - All this work is about to come to fruition! 
More seriously, how would prefer for us Teamspeeders (and all customers really) to work with you on pricing? Are you going to price match competitors, have an actual price list, offer a set discount off of MSRP, or will it be a case-by-case basis? Case in point: If I don't feel comfortable with a HK45 I'm trying this weekend (and can purchase via SSE) I'll be buying a HK USP .45 - how you want to sell it to me on March 1st?

I think it will most likely be a case by case, since I dont have my feet wet yet in costing. MSRP, though I would love to charge it, is just to high in this market. I am sure we can work something out

It will certainly be something I am exploring (even now).

First sale (and second) is already done. My brother in law bought a SIG P238 as a off duty carry.
Second was my buddy, bought SIG P226, as soon as my order is placed. Funny thing, even though we arent open, phone is ringing off the wall already. All I did is claim my Google place and yelp.
Our PD guys are crazy excited, had the Swat team guys come in yesterday, just to say hi, and see the place. Offered to take us to the training range and let us run their MP-5's (full auto.. mmmm) and their M4's. Who am I to say no???
