Rock Island 1911 .45

[KENOC]

Anyone have any experience with these? I had been trying to get a Springfield 1911 , but found one of these for over $200 less NIB and people seem to swear by their reliability and some say they are even more reliable than Springers....although i still hope to get a Springer one day as well.
Hope i made a wise decision, am stoked about trying her out when she arrives in about a week...

I own one, its pretty good! The quality and accuracy are very good.

Now: The grips are pretty 'meh', and the sights are a little tough to see, but otherwise its a solid weapon. I had one HUUUGE problem with mine (look up my post history if you want to know), but RIA took care of it for me.

are the sights integrated into the slide? Do most 1911's have the sights integrated like the GI models?

Here is the pic if you dont wanna click

I'm not sure what you mean by integrated into the slide? From what I'm told, its a run-of-the-mill GI model.

rear sights are typical dovetail and front sight is staked in just like the gov mod. buy it you will not be disappointed they are great guns in fact you can spend 3-4 hundred more and get less gun.

I think they are a low end gun at best. The two Ive handled and shot were rough, loose and felt sloppy. They did however shoot decent. Reminded me of a Norinco. You get what you pay for.

How is that hole in the bottom of your car, Keane? Was that expensive to repair?

I wrecked the car before I had a chance to repair the console
