Sidearms & Scatterguns Vudoo gets into the 1911 market

Those will be a fantastic firearm. I really want one now.

That .22LR version looks quite interesting.

Just when you think you have enough. Those look really nice. The conversion kit is a great option as well.

Yup, and quite pricey lol

Seems like an extremely odd name when one of the top 1911/2011 manufacturer's logo is a Mobius.

Voodoo might have to rethink that name. SVI has been in the chat.

I’ll wait to see the 22 version.

Except the infinity symbol and Mobius loop are two different things.

That explains why they call their grip option Mobius cut out...

The .22 better come threaded…..

Interesting move.

The high end 1911 market seems like a tough one to break into. There's already a lot of established players, and people are really picky about their 1911's.

It's going to be hard to get people to pick a new/relatively unknown name in 1911's with no history/pedigree over the current established options in the ~$3k price point, IMO.

The .22 1911 seems sweet though. Definitely agree it should come with a threaded barrel.

Don't know that I care enough about a billet trigger for the cost of entry, their aesthetics, which seem to be their point of separation from other semi custom players, are not my cup of tea, so I personally wouldn't.
Accuracy and reliability amongst single stack $1K 1911's are a wash, unless you're paying for a specific accuracy guarantee. Even then.....

Sub moa with a pistol? Gotta see to believe that one

The .22 version interests me the most. I wonder how picky it will be with ammo. Definitely going to wait for some reviews before I even think about picking one up.

They didn't mention it, but I agree. It would be extremely stupid on their part, to not thread it.

If i see it i would buy it.

Maybe this is why MB left vudoo. Its going to be a hard sell at $3K for a new manufacture with 0 experience making custom 1911s.

Wilson, Ed Brown, Les, Nighthawk, Springer Pro and even Dan Wesson at the next lower price point have a long history of making great 1911's around that price.

They are pretty ugly to as far as 1911's go, so that wont help.

Guessing that will be with a Nelson rimfire conversion kit from a Ransom Rest unless they have some up with their own. My Nelson/Marvel is a hammer with good ammo.

I had the same thought.

High end .22 1911's make sense for Vudoo. IMO, "regular" high-end 1911's don't.

Seems like an odd market to tap. I would think a super cool version of the Ruger or Scorpion would appeal to the 22 target crowd.

@Hoser

If I may ask, what frame and what ammo did you test?

Thanks for any intel, Rick

They are working on a centerfire rifle as well.

Caspian lower and a few flavors of Eley.

Just goes to show how awesome 1911's are....everyone wants to make one

Some seem dubious about the way they make the 1911 frame. I just see it as a new way that gets a very accurate frame. If that gets a reliable and accurate custom or semi-custom 1911, at much shorter lead times than the old Names, what's not to like?

To be fair, MB has been building 1911's for well over a decade that I'm aware of & likely longer than that, so not exactly the new venture some have made it out to be.

Didn't MB leave Vudoo a while ago?

That I can't answer, I haven't talked to him in some time... Would explain why he hasn't posted anything in the Vudoo thread for like 6 months though.

I have talked with the owner of Vudoo and confirmed that MB is no longer with them. No other details other than that.
