Picked up my first 1911 Wed morning...a Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical .45 ACP. All I've managed to due is field strip and look her over. I can honestly say I have no complaints what so ever. Unfortunately, I won't have the time to take her out until next week at the earliest...but I'm oh so looking forward to it.

Very Nice. Give a range report and pictures of the target when you take it out.

I've had the GI model for about 4 years now. You'll love it!

Not even close to being a 1911!

Now that's funny

That's a nice looking handgun, I still havent bought a 1911 yet. I have looked at a lot over the years and shot many as well but still havent done it. I like my xdm to much

One thing about 1911's, you can use them for boat anchors too, unlike 21's.....

I have a 1911 and a 23, love 'em both

Thanks everyone...I've been trying to sneak away to go shootin', but something else pops up. Thankfully I'm on vacation for the next 5 weeks starting Monday

You do not like the pistol because your small child size hands cannot grip it. LOL!!!

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:59:08 PM »

Although I am not a large person, I don't have child size hands. I just don't like any 'plastic' gun. I especially don't like Glock triggers, the square shape of the slide, the fact that I can't shoot lead bullets through one without changing the barrel, and certainly don't like the thought of unsupported cases/chambers.

I am not a Glock espert, and there might be something I could learn about them that I 'might' like, but the other things that I do know about them, and having shot several over the years, I just don't like'm.

I love 1911's and .. Yeah, even certain revolvers.
