Got my new piece. Rock Island Armory 5" "tactical" model.













Special thanks to GunRunners of PA for the transfer.

Looks dangerous! If that thing ever went off, it could kill someone!

Nah.....Thank you for using me.

Good looking firearm. Don't forget to post a range report after you touch a few off. That is if you actually get to shoot it.

Looks good! I like the wood grips...very classy!

RIA are nice pistols. I was going to purchase one, but went with the PT1911 instead. I figured the PT had more custom features to begin with and was around the same price as the RIA.

She's a looker. Let us now your thoughts after you send a few hundred downrage.

Would rule with a silver trigger and a matte black magwell.

Put 100 rounds through her today. A box of blazer brass 230gr. FMJs and a box of Winchester "personal protection" 230gr JHPs. Fed both types flawlessly, aside from 2 premature slide locks. Both times were after the 6th round, both with FMJ. I plan on taking it out to run another 100 or so rounds through it sometime this week. If the premature slide stop occurs again I'll try another mag or file a small amount off of the slide stop.
I plan on replacing the front sight for something a little lower. It hits about 5" low at 25 yards. Other plans include double diamond checkered rosewood grips and maybe a fancy pair of grips for special occasions. So many options with a 1911 its hard to tell how this one might end up someday.

Very nice with no front slide serration's and the smooth wood grips very classy, and all business.
