Totally different.
Rock Island Armory was the original name of the current Springfield Armory, Inc, and is defunct. Rock River Arms is a new company started by former Armalite/Eagle Arms employees, with PWA tooling. -Troy |

How come it's hard as hen's teeff to find RRA 1911's and they are backordered 3 months? Are they as good as people have been saying?

Small company and few workers.
Good guns but not enough put out . That keeps demand high. Kind of like Colt M4 uppers right now. cpermd |

Lately I have seen Rock Island Armory M1911's advert in SGN........who is stealing their fine name?? The Dealers Warehouse and Sarco has them listed.
Sarco's listing for Rock Island Armory M1911's www.sarcoinc.com/rockisland.html  Info on the real Rock Island Armory www.ri.disa.mil/docs/history/arsenal.htm OSA |

The Rock Island Armory 1911's go for about $285 in Shotgun news! If the damn thing fires, that's a hell of a deal.
Actually, there was someone on the AK-47.net boards that bought 6 of them, and loved them! Hard to beat for that price! |

Yes! Have tried various Colt, Springfield, GI parts and so far so good. Slide is CNC'd real nice, frame is cast then machined. A few other parts are casst and machine, but all very nicely done. Very nice finish and shoots real good. Will have to break it in more, before I decide if I need to replace some of the trigger component for a smoother trigger pull. Slide to frame fit is real nice, very little to no play in the three RIA .45s that I have checked out. Pistol is definitely worth the price.  Thinking about getting some more for some project 1911s.

I think I may just get a Rock Island Armory 1911 receiver for my Mech Tech Carbine Conversion Unit. Then I could keep my Colt 1911 in one piece! I think I was the RIA receivers for $150ish.
