| My guess is that most of you dont like Rock Island, but I am trying to figure out if they are worth the price. I am looking at the tactical version for 390 + shipping + ffl. Is it a worth while deal? What are your opinions on these guns? Is there anything close to this price that is better? |
| Don't know anything about RI 1911s. You should be able to find a SA G.I. on-line for an additional $60, and believe they're considered pretty solid fundamental 1911s, if you decide the RI is not the way to go. SA's customer support is pretty exceptional and would be worth a few $$ to me, everything else being equal. |
| Most here like them. 390 seem like a pretty good price. David |
If you search around, RI is an Armscor...it's a Filipino made gun. That said, armscor is a good thing and you'll be hard pressed to find very negative reviews about it especially at the price. I've got a tactical coming in sometime this week. $400 is pretty hard to beat. I'll spent the $1k + when I've got the money to do so. |

I've thought about buying one of these too. The main reason is because they are cheap compared to others and I haven't read of anyone having problems. I don't think SA makes a 1911 with the same options as the RI tactical for anywhere close to the same price. Do the RI tactical models have a guide rod? |
