Gary1911A1 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 This question is for those that went to SHOT. Did Rock River have their Single Stack Polymer Frame 1911 on display and if so do you know when they are going to start to produce them. I'm beginning to think there is just one prototype that is being passed around to gun writers. I did find a link and video of EAA going to introducing one with a rail in 90 days, but I'd rather not deal with their CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Gary, I saw ads for them in one of the mags and asked/posted on another forum if a couple people going to SHOT would check them out and got no response. FWIW Richard (from Ravenna, Ohio cause I can't afford to move out of this D... snow!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks Richard. I use to live in Wooster so I know how bad Winter can be up North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think that it would be a great carry gun, weight and all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary1911A1 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 It was on display. I handled it again. they are trying for summer. (this one) Thanks. I hope they do as I'd much better buy one from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl7883 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 wow........neat idea. i guess rock river will not be focusing these on their bullseye accuracy line. should be very light though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebravo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You'd think they'd be super light, but they advertise the weight as around or above the weight of an alloy frame. Their website says 2.04 lbs (32.64 oz), and a Kimber Custom CDP II is advertised as 31 oz, with empty magazine inserted. Not all that impressive, if you ask me. Doesn't seem like much benefit over another 1911 that will offer superior parts commonality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 even if they weigh about the same as allow, I'm guessing they will be MUCH cheaper. Light weight, decent 1911s seem to cost hundreds more than their full weight counterparts. So a decent injected or molded polymer frame should be cheaper by far. I'm excited for 3D printers to be able to pop this out in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I will be looking forward to doing my texturing on one. Hope that they will be as accurate as other Rock Rivers. Tommy Roupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yes. Their steel frame guns were really nice. Excellent workmanship and very reliable. Should be interesting to see what these are like. I kinda spaced out and forgot to look at this at SHOT Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Though these where supposed to come out over a year ago. Think they will actually be out anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Not try to change the post, but is RR talking of a highcap frame ? Maybe in Poly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
