So after scrimping for a while, I finally saved up a decent amount of money and got myself a 1911.
Its the Rock Island 1911 in Nickel finish (I like shiny things...).
Don't have much time to go to the range until a couple weeks, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.
One question though, when I got it out of the box, it was DRENCHED in grease/oil/cosmolineish stuff and the entire thing took a couple of hours of scrubbing (which unfortunately put a few scratches on the mirror finish), and I eventually had to take apart the entire frame to clean it out properly. Anyone else experienced this with other low end 1911s? Doesn't seem like a Kimber would come in such condition, but my RIA is not a Kimber.
