Buy one while they are still cheap. Heck, buy 2, 3, 4 ,5 , 6... buy ALOT with no regrets!

RIA 1911s are excellent guns. My buddy owns one and has had absolutely no issues. It shoots almost as nice as my GI Colt too (my trigger is a little smoother since I custom fit the trigger). Also, Ive heard really good things about the PT 1911 by Taurus...

Love mine! Have an RIA 1911 Tac!

I have had no problems with mine. I love it. All I did was change the grips. My buddy put new grips on his Springfield and gave me his black ones. I have no complaints or failures of any kind. I would buy another one.

I hear the parkerized finish looks crappy. Be sure to get the stainless or matte black finish. Other then that, it's a good gun...

Great pistols. Nothing but good reviews.

[GunHo]

My suggestion, save up a few hundred more and get the Springfield 1911 9mm.

[Press Check]

I own a Springfield, and they're fantastic pistols, but you're talking about double the cost of an RIA for the Loaded model. A great entry-level Springfield would be the Mil-Spec.

They're very good. The finish might not be pretty but they are great firearms for the money. Its only a matter of time before rock island decides to raise their prices

I asked the same question before I bought mine. IMO get the tactical over the basic gi. You won't regret it.

[Low-Pressure]

As stated, if you can get the Tactical model. Great gun for the price! Don't listen to the posters that don't like "cheap" 1911's.

That are great guns I have a tactical 45 its sweet to shoot but I will say my front sight was out of adjustment check b4 you take it home and most gunshops will fix

Ive had a few and regret it each time I sell one
