Starting out with a Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical Compact I got for CHEAP

Painted the grips, added grip tape, Wilson Combat Mag, Blackhawk Paddle and mag holster.

Not sure if I like the gloss finish on the grips...I may switch to matte or textured. Next will be sights and hopefully I can find a stainless drop in barrel.

great gun! not feeling the grips too much. check midwayUSA or brownells for cheap grips.

Between danny and I we have a bunch of parts laying around to help customize/build it up for you. PM me or him for details! Debur/trigger work and polish/sights/ polish feed ramp/grips/ and a cerakote and your set for a cheap carry gun. I think I have a set of grips and another trigger you could have for cheap also!
