Impressions of a Rock Island Armory

Of course the Rock Island doesn't have any pride of ownership but it's fun to shoot well at a match and then tell the guys shooting the Les Baers that I beat them with a cheapo gun.
I just made Expert in IDPA with my RIA .45. I've got close to 6k rounds through it. Just keep an eye on the extractor, ejector and recoil spring plug. All of mine had to be replaced because they either broke completely or quick functioning well - the extractor in particular. The ejector sheared off; and the recoil spring plug cracked.

I have replaced the grip safety, sear, hammer, trigger, ejector, extractor, firing pin and stop, recoild spring plug and guide and pretty much all of the springs.

Something those guys with the LBs won't have to worry about ;) but it sure is fun working on stock 1911s isn't it. :)
