Congrats, I'm going to shoot my new 1911 tomorrow can't wait I picked up the ruger 1911.

Congratulations on getting a Ruger 1911. That was the model I was looking for but could not find one around. I understand they are "on allocation."
Give us a range report.

It shoots great and is pretty simple to strip and clean. More than welcome to shoot it if you are close to the east side I have a membership to what used to be pops guns.

You can just set up a photobucket account and upload the picture there and just paste the IMG code in your reply, and they picture will show up.

I've been wanting to buy my first 1911. What are some opinions on the RIA 1911's?

That is a great looking gun, is it full size?

It is a compact model, 3" barrel and aluminum frame, my carry gun.

The world is not so un-perfect as you might think. Start out with a Kimber and save yourself a lot of trouble. From there you will want a Wilson or Les Bear but it will still save you a few steps...

Wilson, les Baer, or nighthawk....Elmore's had all three IIRC, however, they won't let you dry fire those pistols as you could with other 1911's.

I want one so bad. Reading this info is not helping.....maybe Santa will take care of me...

 

[pinshooter45]

I think you be better off asking Saint John Moses Browning. But I'll bet he helps Santa out alot!
