| I am looking for a .45, but cannot afford to buy a real expensive handgun...........anyone have any suggestions? I am looking at the Springfield GI .45, and the Ruger P-345 |
| springfield GI is a great value. the armscorp 1911's are actually pretty well put together as well and come with lots of "go fast" goodies already installed. the rock island armory(not rock river arms) ones arent bad either. and dont get hung up on the "made in america" thing here since most of the Springfield parts are made in Brazil. |
+1 on this one. The "mil-spec" Springfield goes for around $399.00 at the shows. The Rock Island Aromory is around $360.00 but you can pick up here at the EE forum much cheaper. I bough a sub compact RIA here last week for $300.00 and one just sold here the other day in AZ for $250.00 Personally I'm not a ruger fan of their auto's, except the Mark II. |
+1, best deal out there.
|
| I have the Rock Island Armory .45. It goes bang everytime. The GI mags that I bought from ammoman didn't feed very good at first but after being loaded 10+ times they work fine. When I bought this economy pistol I vowed to never shoot a higher quality .45 so that envy wouldn't make me regret it. |
Those were one of the best firearm deals ever. I picked up two of them for just under $300 each a few years back as well, and they were beautiful, refinished and functioned perfectly. |
