well , this weekend my buddy brought his rock island armory 1911 9mm to show me. for some reason he doesn't keep anything for very long so , I just had to take it off his hands ... it's not like i need another , but hey the opportunity was there.... so i went ahead and got it.
it's nothing fancy , but he put fake ivory grips on it ... so at least you can find it easy.
shot a 10 round group on steel at 15 -20 yards or so and it seems to shoot decent unlike some 1911 i've had in the past that shoot low behind the front post , this one pretty much is just right ... last pic is zoomed in on the group, note the low right is just the shadow of a weed flower .. i wasn't really trying hard either.. but is shoots ok. i shot one round that aimed at the spot and got them all with a couple of inches ... good enough for government work ... 1911 government that is hehehe ... yeah my STI shoots better , but it's also 4x the price.
I cannot stand the guide rod however! racking the gun makes this high pitch sound as the guide rod has micro grooves in it, making the nastiest spring rubbing sound ... i just ordered a new guide rod and flat spring from wilson combat ... other than that , the gun is a nice beater 1911 and seems to be pretty decently put together.
it will make a nice ranch carry gun
