He could try that, and maybe after three trips back and forth, RIA would get it running.Send it back to Rock Island. They will make it right.
But then again, in 1911-Landia you gets what you pays for, and as provably shown here, $399 ain't bought ya much except problems.
Pretty much what I've seen from the RIAs that show up at our local range, although one clear exception was a guy shooting the double-stack (14-rds?) 10mm model. That one seem to run fine. Still, when a dude's RIA starts hiccupping, he's sure to get dogged by our range's resident Colt hotshots. Hardcore 1911 dudes, those guys.Originally Posted by Kevin Rohrer View Post
RIA = 3rd world junk
For the amount of money you want to spend, try for a Colt or Dan Wesson. SIG may also be good, but I have not read much about them. There are lots of good deals on GB, Armslist, etc.
Yeah, so the OP has $399 into his RIA, and is now looking to drop another $800.
Math so simple even a highly paid PhD can get it: $1200 well-spent from the git-go would've gained him a MUCH BETTER .45 roscoe than the Filipino-made junk.
