Anyone have one or know anything about them?
I've seen them at gunshows for around $350.
I'm looking for a cheap 1911 to tinker with,like a RIA or something else  in the 300-350 range.

I bought a CD for my first 1911.  I paid $380 for it about 6 years ago.  I has been 100% reliable since switching to 47d mags.  It's more accurate than I am.  I'm happy with the buy but it doesn't get touched anymore since buying a USP 45.

RIA and CD's are both made by Armscorp. However, I believe the final assembly is done at different plants. I have an EFS that I'm tinkering with. I like it so far for what it is, but it's definately no Les Baer. Shoots pretty good, pretty reliable after polishing a few surfaces.

the RIA is a good starter 1911, you won't be dissapointed.
