A year ago, “Solid Concepts,” a rapid prototyping firm, revealed that they had 3D printed a fully-functional .45 caliber 1911 pistol. They have now unveiled a 10mm 1911, with a whole lot more artistry. A year ago I understood that they weren’t planning on putting their version of the 1911 into production, but a month later they made 100 and put a price tag of $11,900 on each of them.

The new pistol is called “Reason,” is seriously arted-up and has the preamble to the Declaration of Independence “printed” onto the front of the grip. It has a rail on the underside for a laser or light, and the barrel appears to be threaded for a suppressor. It looks fairly snazzy, but I’m not sure about the ergonomics of that trigger…
