Nice 1911s.
I think RIA actually uses an oddball cut so the Colt sights may not work. I am sure someone will be along with specifics. |

Get 10 mags for each pistol and reload less.

I easily made the 10 magazines per gun for the 45's, but need to pick up more 9mm mags. |

Okay, we're talking apples and oranges. I didn't mean reloading the magazines, I meant reloading the gun... as in when you shoot it empty and need to get back in the fight...

How do you like the 9MM RIA?
It is the gun that I have been thinking about getting. Red

It's great, the only thing I want to do is put some contrasting sights on it, the black on black isn't cutting it for my old eyes anymore. I may just paint the front sight, but since I plan on putting night sights or fiber optics onto the Colt, if I can move the Colt 3 dots onto the RIA, that's what I'm going to do.
I had a problem with the right side safety hitting the top of the grip and not fully disengaging, but I took a flat file to the top of the grip and just rounded the top outside edge a bit and now there is plenty of room for the safety to move. The MSH takes is a little on the larger size too, it actually sticks out from the back of the frame about 1/8" instead of sitting flush, and it's not checkered, or lined, just flat metal. |

It is VERY unlikely the colt sights will fit the RIA.
RIA did not use a true Novak cut in the beginning. Put 310 rounds through my 9mm RIA yesterday in a class. I had the only 1911 (or even steel gun). After over 7000 rounds and 2 recoil springs, it still runs great. |
