Just tried a new RIA M1911-A1 at a local outdoor range. After reading other reviews, I decided to try one for myself. The gun handled better than expected. First eight rounds from 15 yards shocked me when realizing 7 of 8 target holes were touching each other. The 8th round was about 1" from the group. Especially shocking was shooting from a standing position. The group caught the Range Officers attention and he acquired about the gun. 130 rounds were run thru the pipe w/out any hiccup what so ever. Trigger nice and crist. Action was smooth and surprizing. What a nice piece for the price!! I would guess that the price will eventually go up.
