Rock Island

Are they decent 1911s?

 

[Army 1911]

Yes, for the money.

If you want an affordable gi model, then sure, as mentioned, for the price it’s a good gun. However once you start looking at guns more expensive imo I would look at other brands

 

[Byrd666]

Yes. Good to medium starter models available. Hard to beat for price and warranty.

If you want a pretty gun to match your nails spend more. Otherwise RIA does just fine.

Yes. RIA M1911A1 CS FDE. $460. Shoots accurate and easy to conceal.

I like mine. It's always run flawlessly.

 

[Dawico]

Never owned one but don't hear many complaints compared to how many they sell.

 

[Dred]

Like the pistols. Love the prices and the warranties.

They quietly make the frames more 1911's than anyone else. STI for one

Really?

I have a Spartan which was a STI/Armscor joint venture pistol, but I believe this is the only STI built on an Armscor frame. I'm certain my STI Duty One is USA born so I'll be very surprised if it was built on an Armscor frame.

Little matter since STI isn't doing 1911s these days.

I bought a Remington R1 not too long ago for about the same price and it is a great shooter. Quality seems very good and I don't think I have ever had a FTF or misfire from it. Someone just had them on sale for under $500 (Tractor Supply, maybe?) recently.
That said, I have heard mostly only good things about Rock Island and I would probably get one if I needed another 1911...

 

[Ingramite]

Great value.
Reliable and accurate.

I think Armscor and RIA are the same. Both Philippines for sure. I had an RIA and it ran flawlessly.

Armscor is the parent company of Rock Island Armory

I have a 10mm RIA 1911 works just fine and is a shooter. I also have a Baby Rock in .380. excellent value for your money

Those grips are awesome

Bought a GI Rock to play with and customize, figured it would be better to learn on a $$350 1911 than a Colt. Shot great but I could not leave well enough alone. Ended up buying a Rock Island Frame from Sarco and building it just like what I have to rum my Advantage Arms 22LR slide on. I think they are a good value for the price, But once you get in to the $600 dollar range you have a lot of other manufacturers to choose from.

Never had any issues with RIA, American Tactical, or any the Philippine 1911. Minor fluff and buff helps as well, but generally good to go right out of the box.
