1911 Space Odyssey: Thus Spoke Jacob Grey TWC9

The next time someone tells you that gun manufacturing “isn’t rocket science,” tell them about Jacob Grey Firearms.

Ever seen the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey? The Kubrick sci-fi classic opens with a troupe of apes that has just discovered a mysterious plinth, which telepathically teaches them the use of tools–which are immediately employed as weapons–as Thus Spoke Zarathustra plays in the background. That’s what it feels like to experience shooting the Jacob Grey TWC-9 1911 handgun. (Turns out Kubrick was off by 90 years.)

This pistol, first introduced last year, has been dazzling gun reviewers with its grip and frame meticulously crafted from aerospace-grade billet 7075 aluminum and treated with a military-grade hardcoat anodization. Its 1:10 Twist stainless steel barrel ensures exceptional accuracy, while its superb balance guarantees a remarkably flat shooting experience. As TheFirearmBlog‘s reviewers note in this great video, this pistol really is “rocket science.” (If you haven’t subscribed to TFBTV yet, you should!) The MSRP is $2,500, and you can get yours right here.
