Rock Island Arms 45 1911A1 FS
My birthday present to myself. $420 new at the LGS. Parkerized, 5" barrel, walnut and rubber grips, adjustable skeletonized trigger, 8 round mag, ambidextrous safety, beavertail grip, commander hammer, windage-adjustable (probable copy of Novak) sights. Trigger is amazingly crisp - it just goes "click" - no creep.
So much extra stuff that costs $$$hundreds more on other brands. Amazing.
Sorry I have no pics ATM. Stripped it down without tools, old-school style to just remember how. RIA ships their products soaked major over-lubed. Cleaning is slow. Ouch - one band-aid and I stopped. Bought a bushing wrench to get it back together without pinching myself. Wrench is shipped, maybe arrives Tuesday.
I want to shoot it, a lot.

That’s good the bushing is that tight, you want that. It should make for an accurate pistol.

Rock Island makes very nice 1911's for the price. I have a 9mm ATI w1911 which is the same as Rock Island which has been excellent.

I bought this M1911-A1-CS back in 2015. It has been a good 1911.

I like RIA guns. I only have one but I like it. That 10mm looks nice. Hurry up and buy one and give us a report.

I will. S&W for some unknown reason isn't making a 5"+ optics cut M&P in 10mm. Should be easy. Honestly, easy. So it's either this RIA or a Glock 40 MOS 10mm long slide.
RIA 10mm can also get a .40 S&W fitted, as well as a .357 SIG. Same magazines. Carry as a SIG, target shoot and teach with cheap 40 and woods stomping with heavy 10mm bear loads.

I have the G40 with Venom Vortex and with a .40 barrel. I like it a lot. But I also like 1911s so the RIA 10 also appeals to me.

RIA has many fans over on the "1911 Forum". Can't beat 'em for the price.
Nice buy

The 1911 style pistols coming out of the Philippines are amazing values.

A close friend of mine has had an older, full-size Rock Island for years and it is a tack-driver and has been 100% with ball ammo.

I have 2 RIA 1911's one Tactical .45 ACP and the .22 Magnum XT, both a lot of value for the $$.
Only squawk is that I wish the .22 XT was offered with an adjustable rear sight.

I have two STI Spartans built on the ARMSCOR frame and slides and a RIA double stack 9mm. I am impressed with all of them.
Don't forget your rebate: $50 on each pistol
Promotions | Armscor International, Inc
Our local Rural King was advertising the basic 10mm single stack for $399
