Hey guys. Well I went and done it... I rented a 1911 at the range today, and I have got to have one!!
I originally was planning on a Colt Rail Gun... but man, how expensive. I did some reading on the net and it turns out there is a company called "Rock Island Armory" based out of the Philippines who make inexpensive 1911s. Now I've got a Filipino sister in law, and I know they can cook, but can they make good 1911s?
Here is the model I'm interested in:
http://armscor.com/firearms/rock-series/rock-ultra-fs-45-acp/
It's got a 5" barrel, .45 ACP, and has a nice blacked out look to it. I doubt I'd change anything on it. Oh, and it's half the price of a Colt Rail Gun. I know this doesn't have a rail, but no big deal. I'll just use the Harries method.
So does anyone out there know if these RIA guns are any good or not? Seems awfully inexpensive, but if they're good enough for home defense use and to carry while hunting I might as well save hundreds of dollars.
Please let me know what you guys think about them. Thanks!
