    Default $388 RIA

    Buds just dropped the Rock Island Armory Officers to $ 388. I already bought one somewhere else for $ 399 a while back and thought that was as low as it would go - and they are incredible 1911's - hmmmm, maybe a second one ? $388 is final cost too, includes shipping !
    I've posted pics a few times before, but here's mine original ( just how buds is selling it ) and after a few tweaks

    $388 is a VERY good out the door price for a (IMO) very good .45. I don't have a short barrel .45 so I may have to think about it.

    I have a Citadel , same-same as above and love it. Compared to my Kimber 3" the .5" makes a big diffrence. Feels almost full sized compared to the Kimber.

    That's damn good. I just dropped 500 on a full size tactical. Might have to get a compact to match it.

    Did you just replace the grips? If not what else did you do ?

    That 2nd pictures shows that $388 is a very good starting price and base to work from. It starting to look good, how much do you have in it already. All it needs now is some better sights unless you like the low profile ones.

    But its looking good now!!!
