RIA 1911 Tactical / 2011 Rail Gun

Just was at my local fun shop and saw a new RIA 1911. I owned the original RIA Tactical (without rail) in the past and liked it. I know the looks of this gun are not for everyone but I for one love the rail.

As far as I can tell this model has a nicer finish then the park on the original tactical model. It of course has the full rail, as well as nicer grips.

Can't wait to get it to the range, would also like to switch out the front sight.

Great score!
I was checking that out last week.I am not a 1911 guy but I really like the look of it with the rail.I have heard many good things about the RIA 1911's and for the price it seemed like a great deal for a railed 1911.
Let us know how it shoots.

I like it. I mean I REALLY like... How much did that sit you back?

564 + tax. Mr. S depending on what store you were at you may have handled this gun.

nice p/u, i,m sure you,ll like it my ria shoots awesome. it is nice to see the sweet grips on it. most ria come with crappy looking wood. that was the first thing i changed on mine. you gotta have nice wood on a 1911 style pistol, it really sets them off.
