First time I fired my Rock Island 1911 I had no misfires, and no misfeeds. Sights are right on. I am very pleased with it. For the money it can't be beat.

Overall a great pistol for the price. Functions great and certainly looks the part of a GI 1911, albeit with the shorter Commander-length barrel. However, I'm not a fan of the takedown process. As opposed to the barrel bushing and spring plug of a 5" Government model, this pistol requires the use of a paperclip fashioned into a tool to remove the guide rod toward the rear of the slide, made all the more difficult when you need to fight a stiff recoil spring. That's just a matter of personal preference, however.

Buds shipped to my FFL very fast. This is my first 1911 in .45. Ran 100 rounds through it with no problems. Love the wood grips and the trigger action. My only critique is that the sights are difficult to see, will probably add some paint so they stand out more. Also, the magazine that came with the 1911 needs to be slammed in order for it to catch. A few times I thought the mag was in all the way, but it fell out onto the range table. Not sure if this is something normal with 1911's or manufacturing issue. Bought a Wilson combat 8rd magazine since the RIA mags are out of stock right now. The Wilson had the same issue, so I'm guessing it may be the magazine catch in the pistol. Overall, I'm happy with my first 1911 and will continue to take it to the range.

This rock island 45 ACP for the price is awesome. The gun shoots wonderfully right out of the box. I would definitely recommend this pistol rock Island has come a long way on their manufacturing of firearms. … i’m buying it from buds. Guns is also awesome very easy very efficient and ships fast… I would recommend this pistol for a starter 1911 45 ACP…

Very pleased with this firearm so much so I purchased a second one from you as a backup in case the original has to go out for repair. Purchasing through Buds is a very easy process. Had a very positive experience.

I tried building a few 1911s and bought expensive parts to try to make a primo custom 1911 - It was an extensive learning experience, in some ways rewarding and in some ways frustrating. I should have just bought a Rock Island. To build a proper 1911 that's better than a Rock Island, you need a machine shop. Now I have some Wilson Combat parts that I can retrofit onto my Rock Island and it will improve it.

Was looking for a Colt Combat Commander and bought this on the advice of a very experienced gunsmith. It did not disappoint. Action is slick, trigger is great, and it eats everything. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about is that it has the captive recoil spring/guide rod and direct barrel/slide lockup vice the standard spring/plug/bushing setup, but that's on me for not digging into the specs more, and after shooting it I'm sold. Great accuracy and function for half the cost of its Colt cousin and every bit as good. Quick and easy shipping from Bud's as usual. One of the best deals going.

A:Christopher, it should not Sir. I would treat the small area with a rust inhibitor just in case though. Once white out dries is does become chalky and a small dab of clear sealant will smooth it out. -

A:Bennie, Yes I have egg on my face. As I was reading details on a list of 1911s I shared de-cocker info from another one listed. Not your RIA model in question. Sorry for misinformation.See 1 more answer | -

- Asked 04/22/2019 06:34 by Bennie P
A:Bennie, This firearm has a de cocker/safety combo lever. Much of the construction and parts are the same as original colt. RIA used original blueprints and specs. RIA made 1911s for the US military back in WWII -The US government gave a copy of the original Colt 1911 blueprints to the RIA company back then so they could make these pistols for the US troops in WWII. That same factory that was used in the Philippines to make those 1911s is the same factory that is being used today and RIA still uses those same old Colt blueprints to make their 1911s. So, although these pistols have the small RIA logo on the rear of the slide, these 1911s are exact copies of the original Colt 1911s. This is just like a full sized GI style 1911 but is .75 inches shorter than the full sized 5 inch version. The big difference here is the MS has a full length guide rod and a bull barrel and no barrel bushing or recoil spring plug. As a result, the take-down/ field strip process is a little different than your standard issue 1911 and in some ways a bit more difficult. But don't let that scare you away. I highly recommend that you use a bent paper clip or an Allen-wrench to help you with field-stripping this pistol. -

A:Chris - This one will handle +P with no problems at all. The Hornady Critical Defense is a well reviewed self defense round, as are Federal Train & Protect and Federal Hydra Shok ammo. I carried Hydra Shok as my duty ammo for years. It performs well. Check both of them out. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/711019864/federal+train+%2b+protect+45+acp+230+grain+vhp+50+per+box https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/68256/federal+pd45hs3h+hydra-shok+jacketed+hollow+point+20rd+165gr+45+auto Any of the three will serve you well.See 1 more answer | -

A:Not trying to be funny, but nothing functionally. The normal model has just not been tested/certified for the CA Approved Roster just yet. It could be something as simple as drop test, loaded chamber indicator, micro stamping requirements or even a change to the pistol which would require it to be certified/re-certified. Cali makes it tough for ya'll man.See 1 more answer |
