You have your steps reversed. I'll never understand the guys who say, "I bought this gun, is it any good?"

"i impulse bought this, did i fuck up?"

My brother in law has that exact pistol. He likes it. You could do a lot worse at that price.

I have the same model no issues shoots fine

I have 3 RIA 1911s. No complaints for me. I’m not putting thousands of rounds through them each year either but I enjoy shooting them

This is the second time I've seen this sale come up, the second time I've tried to get one, and the second time I got all the way through checkout only for it to tell me there isn't any in stock.

No better way to get in to a 1911, then to start basic and cheap. After a year you will know what you don't like about it so you can shop for a more enhanced model.

MachineryZer0@reddit

I’ve seen like 10 people say this same thing, must be true. Maybe I’ll pick one up.

[-]

10kgxrxia@reddit (OP)

🙏🏻thought the same thing not a bad deal to get into 1911s

[-]

MediocreVibrations@reddit

That’s my first 1911. I’ve had zero issues with it

Swap all the internal parts with a higher end kit you can afford, polish the feed ramps, and it will do fine.

[-]

When you say higher end internals kit are you talking about springs? I paid more than that for my Springfield G I A1 and it runs fine. I'm getting another 1911 sometime early next year but right now nothing to compare it to. I know I'm changing sights and replacing the short trigger for a long one so far.

[-]

GreyBeardsStan@reddit

Yeah, at the very least, a W C spring kit

[-]

Kite005@reddit

Yeah I think I will get that. What else do you think I might consider?

[-]

GreyBeardsStan@reddit

WC or Chip McCormick mags

NPC_no_name_@reddit

I love mine Ive a sholder rig for it

[-]

Jlaurie125@reddit

Mine shoots pretty well, you should enjoy.

[-]

High_Anxiety_1984@reddit

Great choice for a first handgun or 1911. I almost want to buy one just because they're such a good deal. I own an Springfield Range Officer 1911 and I love it.

[-]

Mobile_Speaker7894@reddit

I love the one i have. I also got one of the TISA ones from Turkey. With the exception of the cut out mags and gimmicky grips with windows to see said rounds in the cut outs. It's not bad either. Replaced the grips with something decent and bought a pile of Wilson combat mags for it.

You’ll have fun with it. It’s a gateway drug into the 1911 world!

Be warned, that beavertail and grip safety are sharp!

DannyMeatlegs@reddit

I tried to get one this past Saturday. It said it was unavailable. Did they restock them?

[-]

Libido_Max@reddit

You have to buy online then they shipped on that store

[-]

DannyMeatlegs@reddit

I tried that. When I put all my information in and tried to buy it, it hit me with the unavailable. I'll try again.

[-]

Libido_Max@reddit

Me too I brought this with Franchi 300win to save dros

I got one for $305 used at my LGS a couple weeks back. It's certainly a gun. $300 1911 isn't exactly going to knock anybody's socks off but I had plans off doing a 22 conversion to it. The more I shopped around the less I was certain I wanted to do it (expensive, mixed results on empty mag lockback, etc). Might just get a MKIV and call it a day.

Don't feel like I lost anything with the gun. It's a cheap 1911 and itll be just fine sitting around as it is.

[-]

Bizzlewaf@reddit

For the cost of the conversion kit, you could get a Chiappa 1911-22.

[-]

XxcOoPeR93xX@reddit

I mean you're not wrong that you could do that, but I don't want a Chiappa 1911-22. They just don't make 22 versions of 1911s the same

[-]

Bizzlewaf@reddit

Two guns > one gun and some gun parts.

[-]

PandorasFlame1@reddit

I believe they're made in the Philippines on original WWI production tooling.

[-]

ShaggyRebel117@reddit

Mines been great. The finish on them isn't perfect but still better than Rustington. Great 1911, especially at that price.

[-]

Kromulent@reddit

Mine was good - I moved it on because it wasn't what I wanted, not through any fault of the gun itself.

You can get WWII-correct brown plastic grip panels pretty cheap, they are a nice upgrade. Random example.
