I recently picked up a Ruger Commander 1911 and am thinking it needs a big brother. My local gun shop has both them and the Rock Island for about $150 apart and I was wondering if some of y'all with a little more experience on this platform could chime in. I'd have to get the ambi safety if I bought the Ruger as I'm left handed where is the RIA is already set, however, the Ruger sights are already cut for Novak sights. Internally am I getting more bang for my buck on the Ruger or just throwing money down a hole?

RIA TAC 1911 FS - 570
Ruger SR1911 - 719

Those prices are both about $100 more than what they should be.

All things being equal I'm assuming the Ruger will always be a tad more, is it worth that bump?

You can find the Ruger for $629, I would get the Ruger wince you already have the Ruger commander.

Do you think one of the single stack RIA 2011s is worth throwing in the mix there? What if I have to shoot at Robo - Hitler in the dark one day?

The Single stack 2011 with Night Sights may be my next 1911. So I would throw that in the mix. I do already own a Springfield Loaded, but I want a railed 1911 that wont break the bank.
