Just got back from the funshow, and spent less than half my available fundage(rare for me). Here's my newest toy: Rock Island Arms .45. I dentical to the Springfield I nearly bought for over $500. Total outlay on this one, $225 plus $16 for a hundred rounds of .45 hardball. Not too awful bad I think.

I wouldn't consider it "broken in" until you've sent 500 rds. through her.

Nice gun. My dad has been looking at a Rock Island Arms .45. When you get a chance, please give a field report. Is that ammo American Ammunition (withA-MERC headstamp)? If it is I would suggest not using it. The ammo is been known to be crap (size not to Spec, over pressure, loose fir primers, etc). Just a FYI. Thread #1 Thread #2 |
Damn! I knew something was gonna rain on my parade. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time. |
| Great buy on the Rock Island. I love mine. It is extemly reliable. Never jams. the only problem i have had was the pin that holds in the hammer and the hammer arm both broke on mine after about 200 rounds. After a quick swap with two GI parts, it has run like a champ ever since. Great gun for the money! |
