I want to know how accurate it is and also does it have quality workings of the trigger mechanism.  Has it ever jammed?   How confident is everyone to own it and carry it for protection.

TD, I have the shorter barreled version (https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/35177/rock+island+armory+51417+gi+standard+manual+safety+ca+compliant+single+45+acp+425+8%2b1+wood+gr) and have no reliability issues. It is well made and has a solid slide to frame fit. I also own several RIA 10mm's including the Big Rock and the same is true across the board. Cheers and stay safe!

Josh T. · Answer

Td, rock island armory makes quality 1911s. I own one of these in 9mm and after roughly 2500 rounds I haven't had any type of malfunction. As for accuracy it's very accurate, if I do my part I can hit a 4 inch gong at 25 yards Everytime. Im confident enough to keep it as one of my home defense pistols, it's a little heavy or I'd have absolutely no issue carrying it. As long as you don't mind the weight this would be a great carry pistol. Hope this helps.
