API 1911A1 TAC II VZ 9MM 3.5 8

Good quality pistol for the money!

Great carry pistol. Fits comfortably in my inner waste holster. Would give it five stars but every once in a while , if I'm double tapping, the trigger does not seem to reset fast enough. Never had any problems single firing. very accurate. Just a heads up, it's kind of heavy but I prefer that in this gun.

Somehow I wrongly entered my old out of state address for my billing address when placing my order causing a delay. Disappointed it took 16 days for gun to be shipped, but everything worked out. This is my first 9 mm 1911. I bought it to shoot the cheaper 9 mm round at the range. Very pleased with the pistol. I think because of the fiber optic front sight and the two dot rear site, gun shoots a little high beyond what I can adjust for, but shoots extremely small groups. Trigger pull is amazing. It is alot of fun shooting 9 mm 1911's after shooting .45 caliber. The mag well and back mainspring housing are polymer, but after reading some reviews, I am not disappointed. The G-10 grips are awesome as well as the front grip serrations. So far I have fired 200 rounds with no failure to fire, and only two failure to go into battery which I account for the after market mags that I bought. Finish is great and the trigger pull is light, about 4 1/2 lbs. Slide locks back each and every shot. No extraction problems. The only issue I had was the grip safety spring was weakly adjusted from the factory. I took the gun down and adjusted it out, works great. Fit and finish of gun is tight and exacting. I would recommend pistol to anyone. I have the following 1911's: Taurus, Smith and Wesson, Ruger, Tisas, Auto Ordnance and Metro Arms, The Rock Island shoots as good as any of them. Pistol is a great value. I can't wait for Rock Island to start manufacturing them in Nevada. If you buy one, you won't be disappointed.

Picked up my gun today and it was in good condition. Nice VZ grips, mag well and nice sights, only thing is I spend an hour trying to get all oil off, but I guess RIA feels it's required. Dry fired with a 9mm snap cap and trigger breaks cleanly at about 5-6 lbs. Tomorrow to the range. Thanks to those at Bud's who hung in with all the bad weather, it will get better. Thanks Again
