I have had RIA 9mm that was a good, decent firearm. My current gun in that class is a 45 ACP ATI Commander clone. That gun is reliable and accurate. I understand these low end gun are no longer imported. This gun is tight and is better finished than my RIA gun Both are very good guns.

My ATI shoots great.

Shot the Tisas 1911a1, and put about 60 rounds through it. Doesn't like 200 gr SWC at all. Had to do the old slide slap several times. Might have to seat a little deeper but, don't think that will help much. Probably have to get a different "clipazine". Shoots and feeds fine with 230 gr. FMJ and 230 gr. HP.

I’ve not shot hollow points through mine’ but the 230gr ball was good to go.

I bought a Promag 8 round magazine Yesterday at Academy. I've not tried it yet. But, everything I see online says it's junk. Nobody likes them. I'll just have to find out for myself.

Not a 1911 but I have a few guns from Turkey that have all had pretty solid quality but not perfect details/finish. But those were pretty simple to clean up and get to my liking

I found a Rock island at buds and purchased it. Hopefully it will arrive at my FFL late next week. I bought the FS non rail version in 45 acp. Just need to pick up some more mags for it.

I have a mag or two you can have depending where you're located. You'll love that Rock Island, I've owned a couple and shot plenty. From their 3.5" to their 5". They all shoot flawlessly, only thing I recommend changing is the barrel to a match grade.

I may get with you on that next week or do. I picked it up this morning. Spent about an hour cleaning all the preservative out of that stuff was everywhere.hopefully going to shot it Sunday

By the way mine came with a KCI marked mag so I did go ahead and pick up a Kimber mag today just in case. That way if I have an issue I can swap mags.

Update pistol ran great with my reloads no problem at all other than seems to shot low really low. May need load development.

how are you holding the sights?  if you are holding them 6-o’clock if point of aim, the sights might be combat hold. 

[swiley383]

I tried 6 o’clock then moved to 12. When I aimed for head shots I hit center of the target. Those loads shot great in my XD 45. When I get a chance I try some HP38 load I think I have some left some were and go from there. Of course bugs were eating me alive so I didn’t dig the factory loads out of the bottom of my bag to try those.

[swiley383]

Looks like it was just me shoot again yesterday pretty much shot the center out of the target. Only thing I am going to do to it now is paint the front sight and possibly some VZ grips.

I like the ria 10mm
