I'd hate to try to wrap my hands around that. A single stack 1911 fits my hands so well.

IIRC you cannot change out the triggers in those and the mags are a bit different than STI mags and maybe even para mags too. Everything else should be fair game.

I have the non railed 40 s&w version. Mec car mags work. It's a nice pistol.
I'm wondering if the frames are the same. Need to get a 45 mag and try it out. Photobucket is down or I'd post pictures. |

So yall reckon normal 1911 grips will fit? Cant tell from the pics but it looks like they might not. Ive been looking for this gun for a looong time. And Ive never been able to catch one out in the wild. I hate the idea of buying one before I can fingerbang it.

They don't look like normal 1911 grips to me. In other pictures online it looks like they have the same little "tab" on them at my Para grips had.

My experience with that company is limited to 1 pistol. A kid I went shooting with brought his RIA 1911, I shot his after shooting my Springfield Range Officer model. I don't care that he bought it for less than $400, it was the most sloppy lose cheap feeling thing I have ever shot. Seriously, my father had a Lorcin .25auto he gave me, which I gave to my father in law that felt like it had better tolerances. I will say, it did go bang every time though.
The pistol was a much older model, and I'm thinking they surely can't still be that bad, but until I hold one & and or shoot one of the newer models they are garbage in my book that I wouldn't waste my money on. |

The last one I had the fit and finish exceeded my expectation for the cost. The few Ive looked at locally still seem to match that quality. Plus they do have a lifetime warranty. I dont have any reason to NOT buy another RIA. I was just curious about this specific model with it being a double stack. |

I gotcha, I was just reporting my first hand experience. Like I said, it was a MUCH older model, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't still be in business if they were currently still like that.

this thread is relevant to my interests, I'm looking hard at the double stack 10mm now
I do know the rock island guns take the P14/P16 mags, they don't take regular grip panels, and they are only about .040" wider in the grip than the single stacks. fit and finish is meaningless to me, I'm interested in reliability and accuracy |

Question Im looking to buy the TAC Ultra FS HC - 45 ACP Ive been looking at it for a while now and was wondering, with it being a double stack. Will the grips on a plain 1911 fit it? Also what other parts on the gun differ than your average 1911. Any insight would be great. Thanks Answer You need specific A2 grips, grip screws, magazine release, and trigger... So that means what exactly? |

I have the 10mm version of the above mentioned pistol. I thought about the .45acp version but wanted to go instead with a 10mm for ballistic superiority. I also went with their single stack model in 10mm as well.

That may be the case, But the shop I was at had a NEW one, double stack tactical, in stainless. It was very purty... but almost 3k. It was sitting in the mix with the Dan Wesson and Les Baers...

Shot only the single stack as I had to wait 4-5 weeks for mags to be available for the 2011. I hope to shoot it soon. The single stack was just fine. Not accurate by any means when compared to my Les Baer's, but then again they cost 1/5 as much.

Shot my RIA 2011 10mm yesterday. Gun functioned flawlessly & was more accurate than my Glock 20SF was. While mine has the mag well (which I like), I opted for the non-railed version as I don't like rails.
Anyone straddling the fence on these, they're well worth the moderate price, IMO. I carry my 10mm single stack & use the 2011 for a truck gun.

Para P14 grips are close, but something is different (grip screw spacing, I think, but don't quote me on that). If you want G10 grips, you could try modifying Para grips (be careful sanding or drilling that stuff). |

I have the same gun in 9mm. It makes my 9mm Range Officer look bad. Better slide to frame fit, better trigger pull and more accurate. STI mags will work with minor modification (30 seconds with a belt sander), as will Mec-gar Para mags with Dawson extensions and Arredondo followers. There is a huge thread on the Brian Enos Forum on these guns. There are other triggers and mag releases that will fit and several magazine options, all other parts are standard 1911 parts with the exception of the grips. I have not yet found any aftermarket grips.
Surprisingly the grip does not feel much different than a standard 1911. |
