    I just picked up my very first 1911 this morning.:)
    It is a RIA Tactical Duo Tone. I very happy with the fit, finish, and overall quality. I had looked at so many 1911's this week and am glad I made the decision to go with the RIA. Out the door with an extra mag, 100rds of ammo, and a Don Hume JIT Slide leather hoslter for 600.00. After cleaning a bucket load of grease out of it I'm off to the range....

    Thanks for all the compilments... It was a pleasure to shoot. I always save my first target with a new gun so here it is. These shots are taken at 7 yards standing using both hands. 5 shot groups.

    Group 1-Shoots a little low but good group. Sights adjusted.
