If anyplace would have an appreciation of a good 1911 and the .45-caliber round, it would be the Philippines....
I might have to check one of these RIA's out....esp. if they start offering 9mm's.....
RIA 1911 for $279 is a heck of a bargain!

Damn! You're all draining my wallet!
I've always had a longing for a full sized 1911, but they were out of my price range. If I could find one for some of the prices listed here that's reliable, my excuse for not getting one just went out the window! Now I'll be looking for an RIA! You're all costing my money!! ;P

Have you tried lookin on the net? I typed in "rock island armory" and first thing i saw was a full size for about the price a got mine. Try http://personalsecurityzone.com/cgi.../PSZ/?Template=ProdDetail.htm&ProductID=34544 that is the website for a nickel plated full size for $450. Wish i had seen it before i got mine. Try the net and see what you can come up with.

Here is the RIA GI that I made into a Tactical. It sports Hogue Palm Swell Grips now, as do almost all of my 1911's.
And here is my Armscore family out at the farm.
My High Standard, the home made RIA Tactical, The real RIA factory Tactical & my RIA 38 Super with a few add-on's.

I'd never paid much attention to these, but a buddy and I were at the pasadena, Tx gun show this morning and an attractive young lady working at a table had several. I looked at a commander sized model and a compact, I guess officer's model. The price, NIB for either was $379. I was impressed with the workmanship. The only thing not to like were the sights. They seemed even smaller and finer than a regular gov't model. Oddly enough, the commander had a spur hammer and a very narrow grip safety. The officer's had a lanyard hammer and a decent abbreviated beavertail.
The commander tugged at my heart strings, but I was lusting after another piece.
