my first 1911

[nb1980]

I got my first 1911 today. It's a basic RIA Cs 1911 A1 but I liked the compact and the price was very nice. Will be shooting it this weekend when I take my son to shoot his his new pistol.

I have one also and I love it. Shoots great love the way it feels in my hands. Just seems to fit right, know what I mean? I hope you enjoy yours because I sure enjoy mine.

Rock Island Armory's are great guns for the price. Smooth shooting right out of the box and they stand behind their warrenty!

nice work. My first was still my favorite purchase of all. Dan Wesson, commander classic, love it, still my favorite firearm and honestly will probably always be my favorite.

Enjoy, you have a fine shooter. Just be sure to feed it a steady diet of 45 acp !

Thats awesome. Glad to hear you got a 1911

Good for you. For all the disadvantages of 1911s they still have the best ergos and trigger period. Ill always try my best to keep a 1911 around.

It will feel good because JMB desinged it that way.
Beware. 1 is too many and 6 are not enough. Once you own and shoot a 1911 you will become an addict.
Best of luck with the new gun.

Congrats! The only problem with 1911s is that they are highly addictive, and there is no cure, only "the next one".

I've already found myself looking at all the accessories. I do love the feel of it. Wish I had found this before trying my glock now i just need to shoot it and see how it does. Any thoughts on a good holster for it?

Congrats on your new 1911A1!

Just watch out 'cause if you don't they will begin to reproduce like rabbits!

Despite what a select few will have you believe, the RIA seem to be a good bang for your buck. I still dont have a 1911. Ive shot em, and their awesome, love the history behind them, but Im still on the fence. I hate manual safeties with a passion. I was thinking of getting a Tisas, but am waiting to hear opinions after the newness wears off.

 

[nb1980]

Thanks to all.

i picked up the 1911 tactical 2011 model (full rail) version and love it to death. i but some new grips and rubber finger groves on it and it shoots beautiful. no issues at all except with the factory mag and hollow points sometimes doesnt wanna feed. but i picked up a couple wilson combat mags and they work flawlessly!!!. i highly reccommend those mags when you start looking to add some. plus you run out of ammo you can probably literally beat someone to death with these clubs!

congrats agian! now we need pics!!!!

here's my first, the one and only, the love that fills my heart.....
