I have an RIA 1911 in 9mm that is one of the nicest guns I own. No rattles, nice and tight lock up. Everything is nicely fitted, runs flawlessly with any ammo I’ve fed it as long as I use good mags made for 9mm. It has a very nice trigger and is as accurate as any handgun I’ve ever owned. It also has a conversion barrel/recoil spring for .22 TCM, that had problems. I contacted RIA, within the hour I had a shipping label. I boxed it up, sent it off and less than two weeks later it was back in my hands at no cost to me. It had a new .22 TCM barrel and spring and had been ‘tuned’ whatever that means. So far the .22 TCM has functioned flawlessly. I purchased this gun used and RIA was aware of this since I originally informed them of this. All in all I’d have to say I’m pretty impressed, at least in my experience with this particular gun.
I suppose to some extent I can blame myself for being a bleeding-edge shooter that is highly susceptible to the latest miracle gun or cartridge hype.
