great buy for the money
i bought this gun for my son a couple years ago because he wanted a 1911 and i could not afford the the average name brand models at the time. i have been extremely surprised at the results this gun delivers. fit and finish are not spit and shine but they are all buisines. i dont feel bad taking this out and getting it dirty or worrying about what happens to it. to my knowledge it has never failed to fire or misfed ammo. it is very accurate out of the box though i did have to adjust sights a couple times to get it zeroed in not a problem. i would buy another one in a minute because for the price i feel it is one of the best buys out there for a bare bones 1911.

Awesome 1911
Got this pistol not to long ago, but I am extremely happy with it! It is a great ?entry level? 1911. Shot about 200 rounds through it so far and after the first 100 or so it had a couple of mis-feeds, but after a thorough cleaning it has function flawlessly. I did let a friend shoot it in the desert and he dropped it (while empty) and broke one of the plastic (wannabe wood) grips, he replaced it with some Hogue rubber grips and it looks great and ergonomics are good. At the price I would recommend this for anyone looking for a 1911 without the budget for a Kimber, Springfield, Colt etc?.

Why worry about this !911A1
I had been searching for a M1911A1 for a long time I have tried all the safe queens Kimber,Colt,Les Baur, etc. I bought one of these form Rock Island Arms. Even before the 200 round breakin period I found this gun to feed any type of ammo from Semiwad cutter ro Ball including Gold Dot hollow point. It fired them all.If you don't limp wrist the gun it puts the bullet exactly where you point it. It's well constructed with a parkerized finish and I would bet my life on this gun. The only draw back is weight. But I prefer a Metal over polymer anyday.

Love this 1911!!!
Took this to the range today, and I was absolutely blown away. Great entry-level 1911, and feels and shoots like the real deal. I lit up the targets at various distances without a problem. Used two different ammunition types, and didn't experience a single misfire or jam in 200 rounds (and this pistol is basically right out of the box). Can't ask for much more than that, am I right? Great price, too!
