Like this:
time for you to go start a thread asking for help on deciding which 1911 to buy, and I will pretend like you never struggled with the decision of 1911 or glock, because its a no brainer. lol
ps. im not biased, haha.
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."

Any of you guys have any experience with the Rock Island Armory 1911's? I have read good things about them, they are very well priced. Don't get me wrong, i'd love a Kimber or Colt or Springfeild, but they just cost so much. Thoughts?
I personally dont have any experience with the RIA. But there are lots of people that say its fantastic for the money, and some of the more experienced 1911 minds seem to swear against it. Personally i am not sure how a $350 1911 will run for any extended period of hard use, but i could be mistaken.
Check out the springfield GI model, i see them pop up for around $425 used quite often at Adventure OUtdoors.
I would wipe Kimber off your list of potential buys, JMHO.

I have personal experience with one. I have redone several RIA's with customers. They all seem to like them. My RIA is a High Standard Crusader. Its a 3" 1911 with all kinds of neat goodies from teh factory. I essentially only used the frame,slide, and barrel. I replaced everything else inside the gun with good quality components from the big names. I find nothing necessarily inferior with the RIA's. There are some casting marks, factory blimishes,etc with them but nothing a good internal polish job wont fix. I agree with danny. You can usually pick up a good used springer or even a taurus pt1911. Some will tell you that hte taurus' are junk but i personally liked the coupel i shot for the money. I saw a blued pt1911 with less than 200rds down the tube go for $400 at the last gun show. Thats a great deal considering what all you get out of the box. GREAT DEAL! And to someone just getting into the 1911 platform, it will allow you to decide what you like and what you dont like without breaking the bank.
