I have the same gun and find that is very hard to load the clip as well. I left the clip loaded for about a week and it really made a huge difference. I have had this gun for about 4 years now and have had no issues whatsoever. It runs like a boss.
I have a Rock Island chambered in 10 mm. It’s a very nice activity and reliable pistol. In a side note. Every 1911 in any caliber I own , the first thing I do is replace the magazines with Wilson Combat magazines. They solve 99% of any reliability problems!
I heard that my friend I’ve got Wilson combat for a lot of my 1911. You just can’t beat them usually that stopped all feeding problems. I appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
Same here, replace the mag immediately!
My RIA 1911 in 9 mm comes with a 9 round mag. You may be trying to get 1 extra round in that mag. That would explain why it is difficult to load that 10th round.
I heard that my friend. This one does the 10 round. But I think you’re right it’s only nine round capacity. Magazine. Thanks for the info on that. I want to thank you for watching. Take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
Man I’ve got to say, you’ve just brightened up my day, I came across you today finding some content with this 1911, it’s my first handgun and I have to say your content is great and incredibly well done, reminded me of my Grandaddy a whole lot, keep up the work man it’s awesome! And God bless from NC
Thank you i appreciate that my friend. The 1911 is my every day carry it a little bit heavy and hard to conceal but it’s something I’ve got used to And it’s a design that’s been proven since 1909 when the first prototype come out. And was widely used by the military, law-enforcement, and security worldwide I want to thank you for sharing your first handgun i thank you’re going on like the 1911. I know it one of my favorite. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍👍🙏
I just bought this online from a local store & will pick it up tomorrow. I like the grips you have. Mine comes with one 9 round magazine so I bought 2 more Mec-Gar magazines which should be here next week.
I havent fired a handgun in almost a decade but I've been feeling that itch, and my first purchase is going to be a 1911. Thank you for the solid review.
You are most welcome my friend. I really appreciate you watching. You take care and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍
1911's are always gonna be my goto gun. its first out at the range, first up to show off, and first outta the leather. thanks for showing us this beauty. take care Al. have a wonderful night. see ya soon my friend
Thank you I really appreciate that my friend nothing like a good old 1911. I always appreciate you, my friend you take care and have a wonderful weekend👍👍👍👍👍
Another GREAT video pard !🤠💥💥💥💥💥💥
Thank you my friend you take care and have a great evening👍👍👍👍
Another great video! Love seeing that Combat Slide Stop!
Thank you my friend. I’ve got to practice using those some more. I keep forgetting that goes to show you you can use your traditional slide stop or you can use the new in enhance model especially when every second counts👍
Hard to go wrong with a 1911! Enjoyed the video, Al
Thank you my friend. I really appreciate that. It’s hard to Beat a good old 1911 you take care and have a wonderful weekend👍👍👍👍👍
I’m new to your channel. I really like how you can actually shoot, and how you’re just a good ol’ Southern gentleman, who appears to have a lot of fun loving God, guns and Old Glory! Thanks for the review and God bless you, sir.
Thank you I really appreciate that and your kind words. Enjoy doing the videos. I want to thank you for watching you take care God bless and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍
I got one last year, dripping in 10w-30. The first full sized 1911 I ever touched, and I had to learn to fully dissamble and clean before I could even shoot it.
I put the same Hogue grips on it as well with a curved Mainspring Housing. I found I didn't like the sharp edges on the grip safety. So I swapped in a Wilson Combat beavertail. But to do that I had to swap out that long spur hammer. Since I swapped the hammer I also swapped the sear. Great trigger with insanely short reset. Mecgar mags are the best. RIA OEM mags nosedive too much. Swapped the rear sight for a plate and added a Crimson Trace red dot. Fun plinking spent shotgun shells! That slide release is rather badass!
That’s awesome. I’ve never had an issue with the one I have. And we’ll run about anything I put through it. But I have also done a little upgrade to the one I have. I have several 1911 but for the money. These are pretty decent little pistols. I just don’t like you can beat them. I want to thank you for watching my friend you take care and be safe and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍
God Bless! Great pistol and great review, thank you!
Thank you I really appreciate that. I want to thank you for watching my friend you take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍👍🙏
@@TheWalkWithAl no problem, to you as well. Love the reviews!
I have one of those I like it shoots really good and by the way you're a very good shot with that 1911 enjoy the video thanks
That’s awesome. I’ve always liked the Rock Island 1911. And my every day carry is a 45 ACP. 1911. It’s a little bit heavy and hard to conceal. But it’s something I’ve gotten used to. I want to thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a most wonderful day.👍👍👍👍👍
love mine!!!
I heard that my friend. This is also one of my favorite 9 mm. Every day carry is a 19 11 chambered in 45 ACP. It’s a little bit heavy and a little hard to conceal but it’s what I’ve gotten you to. And I can get in a lot of practice for a lot less money with the 9 mm. And from time to time I will carry this 9 mm. Because fully loaded there is a lot of different in the weight between the 45 ACP. And the 9 mm. In my opinion, Rock Island has got these down to a science. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a most wonderful day.👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Al I bought one and really like it yes the mag is tight oil the mag a little more than normal after a while it does get easier shoots great and eats everything as always Stay Safe and God Bless 🙏🙏
Thank you for the info, my friend after the video I put about 30 more rounds through it without any issues and the magazine is getting easier to load, but that was the first time that gun Had ever been shot. Always appreciate you my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍
Good running & accurate pistol. Once that mag spring gets broken in it will be fine. That little bit of orange on the front sight sure helps. Good possum pistol lol. Stay warm ☕ & dry next week if you can. 👍 🇺🇸 🙏 ☕ 🍩
Good evening my friend. I’ve never thought about it in that way a possum pistol but you might have something there 😂😂😂 always a pleasure chatting with you, my friend you take care and have a wonderful night👍👍👍👍
Just purchased this pistol in 9mm. The manual says to give it 500 Ed’s to break in. I had a jam or two during the first 300 rds. After that…. Never had a malfunction and the mag spring seems to loosen up a bit. The loading of the mags seems much easier. Great shooting 1911!!
That’s awesome. Over the last 15 to 20 years I’ve shot a lot of different pistols and 1911 style pistols. And you will have a few issues or feeding problems the first few hundred rounds. That’s pretty common. But I have found them to be accurate and reliable. For the most. I really appreciate you watching my friend You take care and have a most wonderful night.👍👍👍👍
Rock Island has acquired a pretty good record. Good video Al.
Thank you my friend they come a long ways over the last seven or eight years. They’re making a pretty reliable pistol, especially in a 1911. I appreciate you watching you take care and have a wonderful weekend👍👍👍
Watching this, I thought, "Hey, if it's 9mm, you could get a .22 TCM conversion kit for it!" I love the TCM. Great little round, totally underappreciated. It was a big thing for like 5 minutes when it was new on the scene.
Are used to own the rock island with the two barrels that is a mean little round. It’s got A punch to it I might check into a barrel for this one thanks for the heads up on that you take care and have a wonderful evening my friend👍👍👍👍👍
if you have not found out already conversion needs a frame thats cut for a ramped barrel
Great piece Al👍
Thank you my friend. I appreciate that you take care and have a wonderful evening.👍
Nice to walk with you today. I do like this pistol.
Thank you my friend had one little issue and then after that it ran pretty good. And I put about 30 more rounds do it after the video with no issues. You take care and have a great weekend my friend. Thank you.👍👍👍👍👍
Al seems to be a good shooter Mags can sometime be a problem until the spring break in a little. Good video Al
Thank you my friend. I appreciate that you take care and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍
I give you credit Al ... you need to be a Hercules type guy to load those mags. I really like the accuracy ... but that jam would worry me some ... especially if it shows up again. Do continue to feature this pistol, so that we can see if those mags ease up, and if the gun functions cleanly. Thanks for a fun video.
Actually after the video I ran another for magazines through it without any issues. But I’m gonna get me a Wilson combat magazine and I don’t think they’ll be any more issues but who knows so I’m gonna run a lot more rounds through it. Because that one thing I don’t like is a jam. It does get you to thinking will it do it again right when I need it the most. I appreciate you watching my friend you take care be safe and have a wonderful weekend 👍👍👍👍
There's nothing like shooting a 1911. Another fun video, Al.
Thank you I really appreciate that. I really enjoy shooting the 1911 One of my favorite handguns. You take care and have a wonderful weekend Always appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
Nice Rock island 1911 Al Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸

@@MrSabram07 not sure just a part of the model name designation like my PT140 Millennium PRO, PT740 Slim or my PT738 TCP. Kinda like my TX22 or a TH9.
That’s a cool looking gun. I like 9mm caliber, planning on getting me a glock 9 soon to match my KELTEC SUB2000!
I heard that my friend that’s pretty neat when you Can you use the same magazine in either gun. I appreciate you watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. Thank you.👍👍👍👍👍

Have the same problem with the magazine.
good job man, i love rock island 9mm! i owned one indeed!
Thank you my friend. Rock Island make a pretty decent 1911. Just can’t be there for the money. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a great night👍👍👍👍
Got mine today!
That is awesome. When you get a chance to put some rounds through it let me know how you like it. I would love to hear from you. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl Yes sir!
Seems pretty good for the price. It jammed once but perhaps it just needs to be broken in a little. Rock Island usually makes decent products.
I ran about 30 more round after the video through it without any more issues. But I want to give it another try or two just to make sure that all it was but I think it’s gonna be OK. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend.👍👍👍👍👍
MORNING AL ITS NICE SUNNY DAY ONLY -17 . N DAK .
WOW with it around 30° here you would actually consider it warm Where are you at? 🥶🥶 this would be a warm front to you I appreciate you watching my friend You take care and have a wonderful evening👍👍👍👍
A fun one it looks like. I suppose the trigger could be worked on a bit. I wonder if other manufacturer’s mags, such as Springfield’s would work. 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
I think any 9 mm magazine will work 1911 style but I’m not for sure about that. Maybe it’ll get easier after a little while I’m gonna keep it loaded maybe that will weeken the spring A little bit you have a wonderful weekend my friend always appreciate you watching👍👍👍👍👍
I used my ed brown perfect sear jig and an Arkansas stone and brought my trigger down to just about 4 pounds and super clean and crisp. Which I would have gotten the match ultra, I really hate the sights
I heard that. Good thinking about getting a aftermarket. Trigger and sights for this one. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Do you remember what grip that is?
Good sir, that Combat Slide Stop is sooo cool! I cannot find anything like it online. Not a single picture anywhere. Where did you get yours???
Check out AJ’s products. And it should come right up. I have these on every 1911 I have. And highly recommend them. I hope this helps and make sure you put in there combat slide stop. And there shouldn’t be any problem. That should bring their website right up. I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍
I have this one, and its meat and potatos, not a lot of shinny shit, but works well :)
The awesome. The one I have has been a great, shooting little pistol. With no complaints. For the money you just can’t beat them. I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍
Got one last week for $450 plus tax. Fired a couple of mags worth for a function check . Works good. Guess we think alike.
That’s awesome. These are great little shooting 1911. Especially for the money. And the rock island. Is one that I carry most of the time. Because of its accuracy and reliability. I want to thank you watching my friend. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍
Just picked up a Taurus 1911 and I am very interested in the grip that you're using. Where did you get it from what is it called
I picked these up at a local gun shop, but I have seen these online they are called hogue grips I have these on several of my 1911 they got a great feel too then. I hope this helped you my friend you take care and have a wonderful weekend👍👍👍👍
I'm sure you've been around long enough to know how to break in a mag
I’ll tell you what I’ve had some hard magazines to reload but this one was unreal. But I finished up about 30 round after the video without any more issues. And the starting to get easier to load. You take care my friend and have a wonderful weekend👍👍👍👍👍
A 1911 in other than 45 ACP, just doesn’t seem right.
I heard that my friend there’s nothing like a good 1911 45 ACP. This one just give me a little bit more shooting time with the A 1911 style pistol and a little bit cheaper on the ammo. I always appreciate you watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍
Well, the initial design for what would become the 1911 started out chambered in .38 ACP, so 9mm is just coming home, it seems.
