I have been seriously thinking of getting one of these , thanks for the review
another RIA m1911 review
Purchased a RIA m1911 A1 new years day. This is my first 1911. This was an impulse purchase when I found it at a decent price. Surprisingly not the easiest pistol to find.
Went to range this morning with 100 rounds of American Eagle FMJ. While at range also bought 2 Chip McCormack magazines. More expensive than I thought they would be. The 100 rounds fed and shot flawlessly. I was expecting 1 or 2 issues with everything I read and also with RIA suggesting a 500 round break-in.
I was more accurate than I ever have been. But, I was definitely getting fatigued with the mule kick and the weight of the handgun.
I wont CCW but it will definitely be a zombie killer.
BTW: I joined the first timer idiot scratch club when I broke it down to clean. Never use a paper clip

I picked up the full length railed dust cover (I can't afford the Springfield TRP anymore. I didn't get the night-sight version, but will add them later. I have about 700 hundred rounds through it and (accidentally) about 100 rounds of JHP my son loaded up and didn't pay attention. Not a single hitch or hiccup. Accurate and flawless for a 1/3 the cost of the TRP (if you can find one). So far, very impressed with this RIA:thumb:
