I felt the need for a 45 and after my experience with the RIA 9mm I didn’t need to shop a different manufacturer. The weight and balance is ideal for me. The trigger pull is short and easy. I wish my 9 was the ultra also but I was just starting my shooting. The RIA 9 is a favorite and when I got the 45 I was thrilled and bit apprehensive to pull the trigger. No sweat! The build and weight of the gun soaked up a lot of the recoil. It’s still a 45 and it bucks a bit but not like shooting a 357 revolver. I’m happy with my purchase and Bud’s continuing selection. I don’t think you can beat Bud’s prices!

Had one of these before and didn’t get to keep it due to divorce. This thing is super smooth, very accurate and very comfortable to shoot. I’d highly recommend to everyone

Seems like an excellent weapon so far, haven't took it to the range yet.

this is a great 45 pistol thanks to rock island, armory and buds gun shop. I love this gun. It shoots so nice.

So far so good. Reliable firearm so far. Good price when I bought it. Great price now. Very good beginner 1911 for those who are new to them. Rock Island is a very reputable and quality manufacturer of this particular 1911.

Based upon my prior experience with a quality Rock Island Armory 45 acp full size 1911, I purchased this tactical II as it comes with adjustable rear sight, fiber optic front and g10 grips. The grips and sights are amazing. The pistol looks great. However, I have to say that after 100 rounds I feel like Rock Island quality has really dropped. The slide fails to lock back after the last round on all four new Chip Mccormick power mags I have and the factory mag that came with the pistol. I did find it will lock back with wilson combat mags. Also, the trigger pull...it's terrible..averaging over 9lbs using my Lyman electronic trigger pull gauge. My other Rock Island 1911 pistol trigger pull was only at 6lbs when it was new. I hope that things will improve after I shoot more rounds down range. Slide lock failure to lock back and 9lb trigger pull is unacceptable with a new pistol.

Picked this up from my FFL two weeks ago. Probably due to storage requirements of overseas shipping from the Philippines, it was wrapped in plastic and covered with oil, which obviously necessitated an initial pre-use field strip/cleaning. If you get one of these, don’t expect to be able to run straight to the range with it directly from the gun store; it must be cleaned up first. Mine was packed with the wrong magazine, apparently for a high-capacity .38 Super of some sort. I contacted Armscor (the parent company of Rock Island Armory) customer support in Nevada and they promptly shipped me the correct magazine. Otherwise first impressions were very good. Fit and finish is excellent, sights are nice, trigger pull is awesome. Field strip/reassembly is not particularly easy. It has a full-length guide rod and the barrel bushing/spring/spring cap is very tight, definitely requiring a barrel bushing wrench. Be careful getting it apart as it will really launch that spring/spring cap if you let it, and getting it back together is a bit of a challenge. As of this writing have taken it to the range twice, having now put a total of 170 rounds through it. In the first 50 rounds it jammed three times, including on the very first shot. For the subsequent 120 rounds there were no problems whatsoever, and these included 40 rounds of two different types of defensive hollow point ammunition (230 grain Federal Punch and 185 grain Remington HTP, 20 each) that cycled flawlessly. Accuracy was very good out of the box, with only minor sight adjustments required; the adjustable rear sight makes this very easy. Overall a very good handgun for the money. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a fine M1911A1 at a reasonable price. (They do need to pay a little more attention in their shipping department, though.)

I carried this gun as my duty weapon during the last 2 years I was Chief of Police in my little town, before I retired. It was very reliable, and had a good "duty" trigger, light and crisp, but not too light. I also carried 3 10-round Chip McCormick power mags that fed reliably through it. While it's no Kimber, it's well worth the price.

Solid value for the money. Shoots well, very stiff
