I'm not splitting hair, it's important to realize the difference between a poorly executed TM1911 clone and what the WE1911 is. From what we've seen, WE is quite willing to do straightforward copies. With the WE1911, they obviously chose to do something a little different. Instead of a direct copy of the TM1911, the WE1911 is at least partly original, even if the system is derived from a TM2011. It's really more of a TM2011 derivative in that regard.

On the other hand, KJW1911 and CA1911 represent proper copies of the TM1911 with no attempt to deviate.

I fully acknowledge that the WE1911 has significant shortcomings, but I just don't think being a crappy TM1911 clone is one of them when I have a hard time seeing any indication that WE even slightly calipered a TM1911 during the design process.
