Rock Island

[General Zod]

Yep. My RIA GI model 1911A1 runs great, has never had a jam or FTF, and despite the small, non-adjustable GI sights it's damned accurate. I've got no complaints. It's my favorite gun to shoot.

As the others have said, hard to beat for the money.

I bought a Remington R1 not too long ago for about the same price and it is a great shooter. Quality seems very good and I don't think I have ever had a FTF or misfire from it. Someone just had them on sale for under $500 (Tractor Supply, maybe?) recently.
That said, I have heard mostly only good things about Rock Island and I would probably get one if I needed another 1911...

Wait, Tractor Supply sells guns?

Blonde moment

I have the "tactical" version (full length guide rod, skeleton hammer, adjustable skeleton trigger, ambi safety, "upgraded" sights, and other stuff I can't remember) but I actually swapped the full length guide rod with a GI rod and accompanying cap. The grips were swapped before I got it. Since it was so giant, I took the OEM ambidextrous safety off and replaced it with a GI safety. Those mods were just for preference and were in no way necessary. It has a very good trigger and is accurate.

I carry the early officer model during the late winter months. Thankfully, I have never had to use it in a self defense encounter. Trigger is excellent and a HP 230 grain bullet (not pictured) is nothing to scoff at.

Off the 3 in Tyler, one of them sells guns.

It was a very pleasant surprise when they added the gun department. Some of the prices are quite competitive.

Are you sure you're not confusing Atwoods with Tractor Supply???

You are correct Cliff!

I apologize for the blonde moment.

I will go back and edit if possible.

I have one and it shoots just fine. When I pull the trigger it goes bang. Not the best looking gun, but as a starter it is good enough.
