Looking for some direct, first-hand info regarding the Rock Island brand of 1911s. (actaully own and/or handled)
My local Rural King has them on sale right now for $349, including two 8-round mags. REALLY hard to walk away from that price yesterday. It is the basic Gov type model; basic sixed sights, blued, wood grip, etc. Nothing fancy. But WOW what a price for a new 1911.
No - they are not a Kimber. No - I don't need it to be a Kimber. No - I don't need it at all; it's a want. I have a Glk 21. I want another, different platform. The 1911 is, as we know, an icon.
Just want to know if they are reasonably well made and hold up well. Do they have any idiosyncrasies that I should look for? Etc ...
