          Raptor, your post sums it up perfectly. That's what I think.
          Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

              Is it a GI or tactical model? And did you upgrade anything on the gun?

              Thanks

                      I see. I thought I read somewhere in the Turner's thread that someone mentioned the Fathers day sale for the RIA 1911 was $409.

                        I have a compact GI with the factory GI sights. I think some people have been babied too much with fancy sights. I can shoot the gun pretty dang accurately with the GI sights. I highly doubt having 3-dots or anything else would make a big difference, at least for me.

                          I never shot with GI sights, but isnt it easy to align the front and back GI sights quickly as they are small? i understand if you have bad eye sight might have difficulty seeing through them.

                          Why does military uses GI sights, if they are horrible? I like the look of RIA GI compared to tactical.

                          Thanks
