I think Jet-Girl has a few RI's but I'm not 100% on that.
Thought I would give you a chance. I've had zero experience with RIAs so I can't speak in favor or against them. I've owned two 1911s and they've both been Springfields.
I agree. Buy the best you can afford according to your budget. On the other hand there is much to be said for waiting abit longer and saving to buy better quality instead of settling for less and possibly regretting it. Been there, done that.If that is all you can afford.....roll the die I guess. Just remember it is a dice roll.........Took a nap.....
Edit....The OP has a better budget than this. Why buy a Pinto when you are looking for a Mach-1...
