Bought a RIA 1911 Tactical this weekend at the Fun Show in Houston. No range time yet, but it will happen shortly. And some new grips are needed.

Me too!!!!
Love it, shot it week before last and it was awsome. Put a heavier spring on it afterwards, hogue grips and I want to swap the ambi safety. 
Oh, this is my third 4th 1911 but this one is the Keepa. I've had two Argentines (traded or sold) and a 1991A1 series 80 Colt (sold to my dad, wanted one that uses milspec parts). |

| very nice, and congrats. I just put in a n order for the same gun, just in 9mm so I could shoot it more often with the lower price of 9mm vs. .45acp ammo. I can't wait to get it. I have heard great things, but more importantly I have shot many various models of rocks so I am very confident that it will be a good reliable, accurate shooter. It will be a range / fun gun for me, and I look forward to having lots of fun with it. |

I primarily CC a SA XD sub compact in 9mm, which has been a great gun. I had been getting the itch for a 1911 and thought I was gonna pay out the ass for one, until, thank you AR15 for informing me of the RIA 1911s. From there I just did my research on which one I wanted and model and so on and so forth. I also liked the 2 tone one, I may get that in 9mm later. For now I'm gonna be looking at grips. VZ is getting most of my attention. There is a RIA on the "Show us your grips" thread in here with a sweet set of VZs on it (page 6 I think) and I am going to do my best and not copy it...but its gonna be hard, its a sweet looking gun. |

I like the grips you have. For grips make sure you check out Larry Davidson's site http://www.davidsonknives.com/# Nothing wrong with VZs but you said you're trying to to exactly duplicate the other one you saw. I will check them out. I have time before I buy them. |

HHHMMMMMMMMMM... Rookie 1911 owner, pistol cocked, mag in, but safety not engaged.... WAKE UP AND READ THE MANUAL........  Not a single round of .45 in this house... Yet. I assure you everything is just fine at Hooligans House. That shot came after walking in the door & maybe being in the house 5 minutes. |
