Everywhere in my local area, nobody seems interested in ordering an actual Armscor 1911 versus the very readily stocked Rock Island G.I. 1911. From what I've read, the pure Armscor cast and manufactured 1911s hold a slight edge in favor over the RIA and Charles Daly products by budget 1911 shooters- despite RIA and CD both using Armscor parts.
I like the Armscors for their word of mouth quality and their extended controls built on a full size 1911 frame, a good value in their class. Around here though, like I said, the RIA is the only thing I can find to look at in person, and is also selling for $400 to $440 at several different stores. From what I've read in various posts, this seems a bit high, especially when the Springfield Mil Specs in the same display cases are priced almost exactly the same. Thoughts or opinions on these dilemmas? Thanks.
