My First Rock Island 1911

Thanks Mike.
The ambi has to go, but what do you think about the VZs?

Thanks DB2 and Mike. All good information. I've thought about picking up a Rock but I have so many other things on my list that I'm not sure which to start with.

I was very pleased with my gi beater. Bought it with the expectations to shoot it a lot. Had some issues with my reloads through it but other than that it was very impressive. Have fun with it and good luck. If I had more disposable income I'd pick up a nickel one.

As you all can prolly tell i like RIA's. I love my rock's, only had one minor problem out of the three i currently have, and it was my newest one the tact compact, with the help of COTEP members(Cappi and one other person?), tuned the ejector the way they explanned, and running like a top.. had it for less than 2 months with 600 rnds thru her already not one hiccup after the tune.
So i guess you could say im sold on them,
but hey that just my opinion.

I love the grips DB2, I have the same ones on my CD.

congrats DB2!...I love my GI and can only imagine the tac is even better. I love whatever tool it is you use to wipe out the serial# in your pics....in the first pic, I thought I saw Arabic stampings haha.

For as rediculously cheap my GI was....I have always been impressed with its fit and quality. Cant wait to hear how she shoots!

BTW...it looks like the tacs have stainless barrels? Very nice

Thank you Sfi! I just use the swirl edit funtion that is free with Photobucket.

Nice choice DB, I got modded-up GI. accurate and 100% operation.

Congrats. My GI was flawless. My 9mm Tactical not so much, even after a trip back to Nevada.

Thanks Wade.
