[713832281]

anyone have experience with the officers model ria 1911? looking to pick one up soon but want a few opinions from owners. Good or bad...thanks all.

Had one and loved it!!! I sold it and regret doing so. Never had a problem with it. I did replace the extractor, tension seemed a little weak, for a Wilson Combat one and continued to have no issues. I now have a Colt Defender, but still would love to have another RI officer's model.

I have one and it is great never had any problems with it, i actually like it more than my 5in RIA.

I do not own one. I have a friend who has one. It was well used/abused and had more issues than the Sunday Post. It was sent back and repaired by the factory to "good as new" at no charge. So I can say they stand behind the product.

Yep, have one...ain't had a chance to get it out to the range yet, but hope to soon! It was one of about <kauf> 5-6 I bought in a 2-week period, so it hasn't had its' turn yet.....

Haven't had any experience with it, but it had caught my eye a while back. I am trying to choose between that and the springfield micro (or the para warthog but it's on the high end $). I cant afford all of them, so its a big decision for me. Good luck, and for what its worth, the ria seems to have pretty positive feedback from everything I've read.

Mine is a short slide and standard grip. Have had zero problems. The sights are a little better than on the Govt model and it has no slide (barrel) bushing. Nice gun and a super value!

Hey Tackle - get a 7-round Kimber mag - it'll fit up flush in those RIA's an' HS compacts!

What do you guys think about the 9mm version?

What do you guys think about the 9mm version?

Dunno - you know me an' 9's....but given the performance of the 45, I'd think you'd be okay.
