I fondled hundreds of guns at the NRA meetings and finally decided on my next purchase.

Rock Island Armory 1911A1 Ultra Tac 45. I can't believe how smooth it is. The slide feels like it's on bearings. I can't wait to wring it out.

I like mine a lot. Bought last year and have since made a few "changes" - just can't leave anything stock

That grip reminds me of a fellow Marine that did not drink alcohol BUTT!!! RC Cola would be main-lined.

If he ever got caught laughing/choking/sneezing while taking a swig of RC, he would wipe his nose-to-chin with
his sleeve or forearm and then belch while stating, "Smooth".

Grabbed a partial box of 45s today and fired a few rounds in the backyard at 10ish yards. Very accurate and smooth as silk. I think I'll keep it.

How was the muzzle flip with extra rail?

Very controllable. Recoil seemed lighter than the Colt 1911 I had a few years ago. I felt it had considerably less muzzle flip.

The trigger feels like maybe 4-5 lbs and breaks cleanly. I do need to adjust the over travel screw a little. The rear sight probably needs to come down a click or two, it shot a little high.

Sweet piece! The wife wants one real bad. Her 10mm Tanfolio chambers pretty stiff so she's not real comfortable. Got to save my pennys.

The 10mm version seems pretty awesome as well.
