Sure, it's not a Wilson Combat or Ed Brown, but Rock Island makes a serviceable 1911 and it's hard to beat that price...

Wonder how RI stacks against the Tisas
Cerakote and CHF barrel, different caliber aside

I've had both a RIA and a TISAS 1911, full-sized in 45 ACP.

In my experience, my TISAS was hands-down a much better firearm. Function, fit, finish, reliability - my TISAS ran circles around my RIA.

Now if TISAS was more expensive than a RIA, then the comparison wouldn't be fair. But I believe if you compared an $400 RIA to a $400 TISAS, the TISAS would win almost every time.

That is not to say that a $400 RIA (or any RIA, for that matter) is a poor firearm. Quite the contrary. RIA makes great, inexpensive 1911's. (They make great higher-end 1911's too.) I'm just saying that the TISAS is surprisingly much nicer.

Take what you like and leave the rest.

Cheers.

I'll echo this also.

I have one of the 2 tone Tisas GM .45s, and one of the Beretta 84 clones.

Both shoot great, and fit/finish second to none.

If the Bend, OR store has one next week, I buy it - and hopefully it won't be a crap shoot on the BGC.

I really don't want to get in the que and have to wait long.
