Putting the garish Cerakote job aside, has anyone heard of Australian Precision Arms?

Yes, they've been in the trade for over 10 years making high end competition guns, rifles and handguns. The one you posted is not as far out as some comp guns I've seen over the years, especially among those who compete internationally.

Do they have a website? I didn't succeed in finding one when I tried looking the other day.

It actually looks pretty good :) for a fun range gun that turns heads at the range.

Did you pass on it because you had something else in mind?

Having had the privilege of doing so on a number of occasions, we Aussies tend not to need such gimmickry to stand out.
For some reason we're easy to notice, must be the way we talk, "it's your accent", is the most common comment we hear, especially in the U.S.
Still, it's good to fly the flag and Aussie souvenirs are highly sought after in trading sessions.
That aside, I don't mind the gun in question, looks okay to me, whether it's performance is up to standard, no idea.

Well I am very late to this party having owned 2 45 Autos yes one of the good old Chinese norincos and a Springfield armoury I would suggest if the patriotic part of that pistol bothers you f*** off I would be very proud toown that particular firearm .

I don't see anything wrong with the pistol design

As an American I find the design eye pleasing and inventive. But I feel it's a win for you anytime a firearm is serving it's intended purpose and doesn't find itself destined for one of your state-sponsored smelting ovens or crushers so my bar is pretty low here.
