Is it the first yet???

I cant wait. this 10 day period sucks . I went and finally put down the money for a RIA 1911 45acp 5in. and i get to pick it up on the 1st. Cant wait to get it and go to the range.

My first upgrades are gonna be

1. grips
2. beaver tail
3. trigger/trigger job
4. hammer

I will be going out shooting the weekend of 5-6

You might be surprised by the factory trigger, unless you are looking for some fancy skeletonized trigger the factory trigger is pretty awesome (at least mine on the CS was) very consistent and a nice crisp break, cant imagine it being much better. I also personally like the hogue grips with the finger grooves in the front since the RIA front strap is smooth. No advice to impart on the beavertail or hammer since the CS comes with a beavertail and skeletonized hammer.

Love my Rock, pretty sure a 5" is going to be my next pistol purchase.

You might want to try the gun out factory first.

Thanks guys ya i have been doing a lot of research on this gun before i was willing to substitute it for a kimber or springfield.

The grips are gonna be my first upgrade because i dont like the smooth grips. I will shoot it stock before i change anything. I like the way the beaver tail fits in my hand vs the dove tail. the hammer is all for looks and from what i have been reading on line is that doing at least a trigger job to lighten the pull and make is smooth is something you want to do. and the only reason i was looking at changing the trigger was for looks also.

Another thing i want to change is the magwell? because i dont like the smooth vertical lines on the back of the grip i like the cross pattern like the kimber custom II.
