Congrats!

Man... I gotta get on the bandwagon! I must be the only dope on this forum without a 1911! Enjoy your new piece! :-)

Your not the only one musicman. Tell you what though..Joe Bob Outfitters has one. Just can't bring myself to do it.

Edit: policed myself. Sorry 94user

I have 2 - 9mm RIA 1911 GI's that have run from day one without problems. I did change the grips to Raasco double diomonds.  Fits my hand better with these grips.

No, you're not. I don't have one either.
You MIGHT be the only dope who LIKES them and doesn't have one though. Lol!

Great score 94user. Should last you several lifetimes.

Got m first RIA from Glocknload a couple months ago, and I must say I am impressed. It's a 9mm and a ball to shoot. I've used every crappy brand of ammo I have and it feeds them all. It's the first 1911 I've had that's yet to have a malf of any kind. 

 

It seems to like Black Hills +P the best, but that gets a little expensive at the range.

 

My only complaints are for the really hard to see GI sights and a little wobble in the trigger.

 

Oh and the darn thing just don't have enough mags with it. Guess I'll have to find some more.

I agree Larry, the one mag thing is a pain, but for $365.00 (what I paid), I went to the RIA website an ordered 4 more. I don't remember what I paid for the magazines but they all function perfectly.

[hipower]

Man, you got robbed! I got 2 mags.

 

You are right, I've been looking for some extras, just don't like the cost on some I see. Stupidly, I haven't checked with RIA yet. I'll look now.
