hey guys I've been searching for what the difference is between the Rock Island 9mm and the 9mm Tactical besides 40-60 bucks? I know that the regular is a cast frame, does the tactical have a forged frame? Thanks for any info.

thanks for the heads up, they have good prices. What is sacros shipping prices like?The only reason I'm telling you this is because I can't buy one here in CA (not on our "big boy toy" DOJ list). Sarco has the Tactical 9mm in stock. Have fun.
Is the differences in the standard vs the tactical worth the extra money to a relatively new handgun shooter with little experience with the 1911 platform?
I didn't quite follow Dave, do you mean it would be much easier to fit a upgraded rear sight on the tactical or the standard?it would be MUCH easier to fit an upgraded adjustable rear, and it would work with the larger front (might not with the little bitty GI front)
a drift adjustment would still be possible, a front sight swap to raise/lower POI would be easier
most Armscor guns shoot fine out of the box anyway, and you're unlikely to be needing super-fine adjustment as a newer shooter (don't take that as an insult, I just see a lot of new shooters get all worked up about mechanical accuracy when they have not yet mastered the fundamentals of pistol shooting ... hell, I've done it myself a few times, only once was the problem the gun and not me)
I've got about 8 more months of 20's and then no more, lol.IMHO worth it for the better sights alone, the other stuff is basically just cosmetic, but unless you are in your 20s the GI sights can be pretty hard to use effectively.
didn't see this until I posted the big one aboveawesome dave thanks. Things are starting to stack up in favor of the tactical for sure.
