rock island 1911

[Snake Eater]

anybody have a rock island 1911 45? do you like it?

 

[Hiram2005]

I've had em in the past, 45 that is. Right now I have a 9mm and a 38 super. I really like the RIA's. Good gun for the money.

I have owned two RIA's. I should not have sold them! I will be buying more in the coming months. Great guns and I never had one problem out of either one and I highly recommend them. I currently own an American Classic II. If you can find one, I would suggest getting it if you can.

I didn't know they made one in .38 Super. That's one of my favorite rounds. I've never owned a RIA.

Rock Island is a good value entry level 1911.
Good shooters to for the most part.
If you don't have 1911 experience though, Don't shoot a Rock Island and think that is how a high end 1911 shoots and feels
Having said that, I do like the RIA's I have owned and would buy others. I did have a Tactical that had issues out of the box but I believe I have owned 3 besides that one and they were all good guns.

i had the tactical; great blaster. heavier than i liked for a carry gun, but mine was completely reliable (for my purposes).

All i've ever heard is that they are great guns, I have never had or shot one though.

I held a tactical model and was amazed by the feel and balance. I compared it side by side with a springfield loaded and the trigger pull was just as good. Though there are differences between the two, the rock island is probably the better value at 2/3 the price.

RIA was my first pistol. It shoots FMJ of any brand just fine. Punches big holes in paper targets and yields countless hours of fun as puzzle you can take apart and put back together. Mine has served as a very reliable range gun and I don't think I could ever bring myself to sell it.

 

[Uralguy]

I like mine. Its the Parkerized version.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Good gun for the money.Had two, no problems.

 

[sertboy354]

Had one sold it to my buddy great gun had not problems with it i will buy another RIA

 

[fingers]

they are an excellant gun .

 

[Joe Williams]

they are an excellant gun .

Wife was very pleased with hers, I was very pleased with mine, my best friend was very pleased with his, my step-father is very pleased with his. Kind of a broken record, there

They are great guns. Functional, accurate, IMHO one of the best dollar values on the gun market today.

In the Blue book of gun Values ...It says under Rock island arms

See Springfield ........Nuff said

 

[CandRFan]

I've got a RIA compact and enjoy it. As others have said it's a great bang for the buck handgun.

 

[sertboy354]

HAd one looking to buy another one

 

[AverageMidwest]

Got the GI model, took a while to get it the way I wanted it but I'd buy another Rock without hesitation. Great for the money.

 

[EvilleDoug]

I have one too. I had been looking for a .45, not any particular model, and this one came up and I couldn't get to it fast enough. I try to make it out at least twice a month and run a hundred or so rounds through it. I had one issue with a FTE, and after some precise cleaning, it never happened again.

Has fired any ammo I have fed it, again with no problems.

If you find one, snatch it up. But before you do, check to be sure your not being cleaned on the price. They can be found for $350 used to $450 new.
