My Rock Island Tactical=My favorite pistol!!!

they are worth it for the price. i had the tactical version and it was reliable. I put over 500 rounds of all kinds through it without issue. I also never had any issues with different/cheap magazines.

I disliked the grips so I changed them. And it seemed a bit heavy compared to my other 1911s.

Love my RIA GI. Dependable right out of the box and accurate.

Replace tactical version with compact version and my experience is exactly the same as LPMan59s.

I've considered buying one and dropping the money to "make it mine". They are nice but slightly heavier than others I've shot. I ended up getting a PT1911 ALR and don't regret it though.
