    New to the site, actually this is my first post....but think it's awesome!! Don't currently have a 1911 but am looking to add a couple. Thinking about a RIA in .45 but would like for to also add a 1911 in 9mm. Any recommendations out there for the 9mm.....w/o breaking the bank?

    I have the Rock Island in 9mm. Only thing I had to do was swap out the recoil spring for a 12 pounder from Brownells. It works great. :D

    I didn't know RIA made a gun in 9mm.

    Was it orginally .38 super and converted to 9mm?

    If it was originally 9mm, where and when did you get it?

    Thanks!

    Not a conversion. They just started these not long ago; I got it at PSS from Bob, about a month ago.

    did PSS have it stock or did you order it? what model was it and what did it run there? i found a RIA tactical for about 415.00 online.......and the standard GI for about 375.00.
