I've had a Rock Island 5 inch Tactical since Nov. 2013, I'v put close to 21k rounds through it. I have had to replace an extractor, recoil and firing pin springs a few or times. It shoots almost as accurately as my Dan Wesson. Its still going strong and I still love shooting it. So, I'm sold on Rock islands.
My R.I Ultra FS HC had me going crazy the first time I disassembled it, but now a paper clip at a 45 degree angle sits right in the case! The Ruger SR1911 comes apart the same way, so it’s not just Rock Island. Great tabletop review Graham 👍🏽😁
I have that exact gun, I removed the G10'S for rubber and added a magwell and Pearce grip. It's my EDC as it shoots great. I love the 4.25" barrel with the shorter grip
Nice. I've really become a RIA fan because build quality you get for the price. I have three of them, two in .45 and one in 10mm, and they all run great. If these were made by Kimber it would be a $1k+ pistol all day long.
This shoots really well. 4" free hand at 20 yards. My groups were tighter but I am counting flyers in 7 round groups. Point of aim to impact was good out of box. The gun needed a heavy cleaning before shooting. Mags were great. Only issue is finish it's not bad but you can tell there is a cost savings.
Got the same one other than mine is ambi and has a flared magwell. $550 which I couldn’t pass up esp after having to sell my Kimber, colt and sig, left a hole in my heart lol (I currently carry a bersa thunder combat plus which I was shocked how good it is, or my heckler and Koch p30LS, I plan on making this rock island my edc)
I purchased this same firearm 3 weeks ago and its a great shooter. But was disappointed that mine only came with one magazine. Every review ive seen it comes with 2 magazines
It's got front strap serrations and a ramped bull barrel as well as fiber optic front sight and a FLGL but only GI rear cocking serrations??? Honestly, I would go with a MAC CCO. Great video yet again, though.
@@continentalgin Or it can be called Rock Island Armory MAPP 22TCM 9R. Or EAA. Or Tanfoglio. There is confusion about names of those CZ-75 clones. I've seen them on sale for around 300-400 bucks. A true poor man's FN Five-Seven.

Love the Rock Island Armory pistols. I've been reading about Filipinos and their love for 1911s. Super cool!

Actuall love the looks and more important , the frame size. Looks like a perfect carry gun..........thanks

Looks solid high quality in this video. Looking forward to the range video.

Good looking gun, that weird breakdown looks to be a real pain though! Wonder why they didn’t just use a conventional spring release?
I just bought mine and like it very much. The only thing I would like is a bobtail version of that aluminum alloy frame
Love it i want one

I also love revolvers from them
Is this the same tear down process for their tac ultra fshc 45acp 13 round
This particular model on the 45 ACP is that legal to buy on the state of California
What is CCO? I see a lot of models but I do not see explanations about the differences of the models, can you guys enlighten me a little, Thanks

Cool. Can you get your hands on one of those super-cheap Rock Island Armory pistols with polymer frame in .22 TCM?
Wait, what?
@@continentalgin It's called Armscor MAPP 22TCM 9R, I believe.
@@Mike-yy4ll Thanks!

In your opinion which between metro arms and armscor 1911's is much better in terms of reliability and over all performance .thank you GBB
Both are reliable, Metro has a nicer fit and finish
Is this cars are legal in the state of California
Awesome 1911 however disassemble remain me dismentall infinity mines lol.
Excellent video. What is the price of one of those?
can't tell you what I paid for mine {serial# 000xx}youtube would $h!t abrick but it's about the same as a Ruger SR1911
Just bought one identical to this one about a week ago, paid 650 out the door.
Very nice
I want one, seems kinda 'old' school.
The CarbonTV link does not work. Could you please drop that mbsy.co redirector?
It's an old link. I dropped CarbonTV
I want one.
Nice!
RIA 1911 .45 thumbs up!!!
"Project Paperclip"
Something about the paperclip thing seems kind of scratchy.
It's classic with full-length guide rods.
Holly hell what a pain in the arse to break down, yeah dude your going to get sick of that quick and will be looking to unload that load soon
