ria 2011 tactical is home but...
Just got my first 1911. Brought home my RIA 2011 tactical from jail. I was reading through the manual and it seems that the frame of this 1911 is cast 4140 carbon steel, but the slide is forged 4140. Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but does this mean the barrel is also forged? I thought RIA's are all cast.
Anyways, the fit and finish on it looks great, but the front sight is crooked. There are three vertical bars holding the FO rod. The last bar is canted to the left and bending the FO rod to the left as well. Is this normal? I wrote Armscor about it and is waiting for their reply.
