I just purchased two Rock Island 1911s in 9mm. They are really awesome. This was after I saw may ulta positive review on RI online. I really love the ones I got, tight and very accurate right out of the box. Not the most beautiful looking guns but then I'm not the greatest looking shooter either. But they just work, work, work and that's what I wanted. So you guys just keep your expensive 1911s, and I know you will because you have no inclination to send them to me anyway.
I know what you have are great guns, enjoy. I'm just glad after all these years I finally tumbled for one. I fee so darn GI right now!!
