• Q: Received handgun today. Very nice. Optic came already installed. But I noticed there was no cover plate (to put on slide if you remove the optic) does anyone know if it was supposed to come with one? Find it strange that it didn't.

  Hi Jennifer and welcome. Since Buds does not open new firearms packages, I would check with Rock Island / Armscor Customer Service (they may provide you one free) at Phone: (775) 537-1444. This listing shows a cover plate: https://www.armslist.com/posts/15357555/milwaukee-wisconsin-handguns-for-sale--rock-island-51400-m1911-a2-fs-tact--w--red-dot-g10-grips-black-9mm-17-1-5-

• Q: Couldn't find the model listing on Ria web site. So is this a Rock (without full length rail) or a Tac (with full length rail). Seen them listed as 1911-A1 but also 1911-A2 . But can't find model number listed on RIA site. Just want to be sure the firearm shown, is the one I'm buying.

  A:

  I used the UPC number in this listing and every seller has this model/picture so it's very safe to say yes. What you're seeing is what you'll get here.
