I just bought my first 1911 today. It is a rock island 45acp. what problems if any should I be worried about and what modifications should I do to it
Best thing you can do is get a stock of proper magazines and shoot the snot outta it before you do anything.
thank you. my 1911 is the tactical version
Watch the Kimber Mags. Neither my Kimber nor my Rock Island like the mags. Stick with the Wilson mags. They are the only mags I have used that don't cause stopages.8 round 1911 magazines. They will run about $30 each but they are worth it. If you can't find those at your local gun shop and you can get Kimber mags, you will be just as happy. I know some guys love the Chip McCormick mags but I have trouble witht three that I have.
I absolutely love the blueing job on that RIA. I like Parkerized pistols, but the two-tone park on the RIA has always looked a little strange to my eye. The blue job just really sets it off in my opinion...that would look great even in regular GI configuration, too.
Mind if I ask what it cost you to have done?
