Does anyone have a link or can point me to the magazines for this on buds? Thanks.

Hi Jennifer and welcome. The exact magazine is here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/35344/rock+island+armory+magazine+.22+tcm+9mm+17+round+w+base+pad --------- Cheers and stay safe!

Can someone tell me exactly what brand and type of magazine will work in this firearm? The Rock Island Armory website is not at all helpful.

Brian, this model uses Armscor 17rd A2 Magazines with base pad. They are out of stock at Buds : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/713079480/armscor+magazine+j+9mm

any thoughts on when they will get some more

While I am sure that buds has them on order there is no way of knowing when it will be back in stock. I suggest that you use the notify me button. Buds will email you when they are back in stock This in no way obligates you to purchase the item. We are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions

Dan, You should keep the item on your "Wish List" and select the "Notify Me When Available" Button and Buds will notify you when/if the product returns to stock. This one is "Sold Out" everywhere so I would check in the "For Sale" sections at some Rock Island Forums and also some large gun sites like (6)un Broker, (6)uns America and Armslist as hard to find firearms and accessories show up for sale by private individuals and small shops. Just replace (6) with G. ----- https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/4806015516798

how many magazines com with the gun

rock island ships their guns with 1 mag

Is this pistol worth it or go higher end?

I have the TAC Ultra in 10mm. I would not trade it for anything. It has been reliable, accurate and well made. Sorta high end features in a moderately priced package. This 9mm is a mid range pistol at best and there are certainly higher end out there but you will not get the corresponding benefits solely based on the higher end price point. IMO, it's worth it.

I have Ultras in 10 mm 40S&W and .45acp in and a pro match in 40 S&W I will put them up with my STI Trojan in everything except fit and finish I have a total of 9 RIA made 1911 and everyone of them are keepers I have sold "higher grade" springfields and kept the RIA which I think is the best value in 1911's

If there is something hi end that's not it

To whom it may concern. Hello, I am very interested in this 1911, but at this very moment i cant brake the bank. on the other hand I see you have layaway and I'm familiar on how it works. On that note many places have different rules on layaway. now, could someone shed some knowledge on me and explain how it works with you guys... also how much will I have to put down and how many days will I get to finish paying... Hate to be a bother, but Thank you

For the money this is a great entry into the 2011 realm. If I had it to do over again I might move up to the Springfield Prodigy as the Rock Island had a few small issues I had to work thru such as, they sent the wrong magazines with the gun. They sent the ones that are for the.22 model which meant I had to machine down the leading edge of the magazine to get it to seat all the way and hold the slide open on the final round. Not necessarily the gun that was the issue but the attention to detail leaves ya wondering. The gun shoots straight as a laser and the recoil is exactly what you'd expect from a big heavy 2011 which is to say almost nil. Overall, pleased but they (Rock Island) has room for improvement.

Rock island makes a good product for a fair price. Fit and function was as expected, no major concerns. Dealing with Buds is always top notch.

I just received this handgun and my initial reaction was, this is a heavy gun Barring the weight, it is a solid gun. I’ve owned several other Hi Cap 1911 style handgun but this one is definitely the heaviest I’ve owned. It came in soaked in oil but that didn’t faze me one bit. Just get a rag and wipe it down. I haven’t had a chance to fire it yet but by the looks and weight of it, I think it’ll be one that stays with me for a long haul. For the money, this RIA has true value. I would not recommend it for an EDC, only because of the weight issue. As for using it in competition mode, I think it will hold its own. BTW, shipping to my part of the world was FAST. Bud’s is a definite place to get your firearms. Thanks for the fast service Bud’s. Hmmmmm…..what do I want to get next???

Buds has super fast shipment so that's a plus. the pistol out it's case was enclosed in a clear plastic bag drowning in oil. Took some time to get it cleaned up. Feels heavy/big grip/shoots flat. Mags are somewhat hard to come by. Other than that, happy with the purchase. Well worth it.

I love the pistol, I haven’t had a hiccup with it yet. I’ve found that the Mec gar p18 magazines along with the Dawson precision para magazine bases work perfectly. My only wish would be that they made this a bull barrel instead of a government style bushing barrel, but, for what it is, it’s a great gun.

The shipping was horrible but as far as the firearm couldn’t beat the deal left it with my gunsmith to be cleaned and tuned up can’t wait to shoot her in the up coming weeks

Gun came with the wrong mag, but Rock Island shipped me a new mag a week after I submitted my request. Mainspring housing was a hair too big beacause the mag well on the bottom is designed to put pressure on it to maintain stability. This caused mainspring housing to put pressure on safety and forced it to stay depressed. Rock Island offered to repair but said it would take a minimum of 4-6 weeks. I just ran a metal file over top of mainspring housing and shaved off the smallest amount of metal and it works great now. Quality control isn’t the best but it is a might fine range pistol. Shoots amazing and the recoil is very flat. Have not had any issues out of first couple hundred rounds. I do warn that this is a gun for big hands. Keep on searching for the right gun if you have small or even medium sized hands. It’s a hog.
