Easy to customize
We buy these Rock Island 1911s when we have sold all our tactical RIA 1911s. We will either strip them & Cerakote or add muzzle brakes or triggers, hammers, grips & barrels. Point being, they're awesome foundations to start & customize totally to your liking while still being under $800

Great Pistol
I have 2 RI 1911s and I have to say they are great. Just a tid bit for those in the market...don't listen to all those haters out there who only have eyes for the Colts, Springfields and Kimbers. Yes, they are top quality guns, but RI Armory puts just as much quality into their firearms as the rest. I have had no problems with mine. They shoot straight, and the ammo feeds with no problems. Quite simply, the RI 1911 is built to perform.

My First 1911 1-13-2013
Just picked this up and went to the range. Very comfortable and very accurate. I waited a very long time to get a 1911 because of the price, but I got this one for about $500 bucks and it seems great.

Great Starter
I admit, I didn't buy it from here but I bought it at my local gun show. I just wanted to tell you guys it's an awesome buy!!!! If you want a quality 45....this is the way to go!! It's worth every penny I paid for. Accurate out of the box. Even my wife loves it! A must have!

I dare you to find a better 1911 for the price
Do not pass up this well built, reliable and accurate 1911 because of the price. Inexpensive does NOT mean cheap! It is a workhorse, not a beauty queen. Many upgrades that the "big boys" will charge up the wazoo for, come standard on this. Cant say enough great things. Spend 20 bucks on some nice grips and thats it!

Excellent gun at an even better price
This 1911 is going to be as accurate as you are. The parkerized finish is tough and resistant, pretty in an ugly duckling sort of way. The trigger broke nice and crisp at about 5 lbs, and I never once had a FTF or FTE. The Italian 8rnd ACT mag that comes with it is just that little extra mile RIA goes to make and keep you happy. Awesome gun.
