  • RIA makes a .38 Super 1911 that's pretty inexpensive. What's their reputation? The Colts are going for $1-3k. Since I'm not a locomotive navigator, that's kinda out of my price range.

        The RIA guns are no high end springfield or Sig. I have their TCM/9mm pistol and the fitting is a little loose but it functions great. The triggers are proprietary and i had a small issue with the thumb safety so i installed a Wilson safety and fixed it. Great gun for the money and goes bang every time.

        Also a very customer driven company. Martin the CEO reaches out to customers constantly.

          That just turned me off from RIA...I think I'll just build one in .38 Super.

              do check my info. The single stack guns may be different and I could be wrong. I know the trigger on mine is proprietary but feels good enough for what I want the gun to do...I'm picky btw when it comes to triggers.

              • I had an RIA compact I bought off Samhain. It worked fine with 230gr ball ammo. It didn't work for shit with any other ammo period. I'm pretty sure that's all the compacts were designed for. But, for a $300 1911 what do you expect? They are a great entry 1911, but if you own a few pistols and intend to shoot your 1911 often, you might look elsewhere.

                • RIA is another brand made by Armscor, so if you trust Armscor, you should trust RIA. I am under the impression that they have a higher materials/QC standard than standard Armscor products, like the STI Spartan line.

                    I'm sorry, I just lost the ability to focus my eyes, my brain seems to think a comparison between STI and RIA was just made.

                    • Any info on .375 JDJ? SSK makes barrels chambered in that caliber for Contender pistols.

                        Slow down, chief. I didn't compare STI to Para, or anything.

                          I just reread it, you definitely compared STI to RIA via Armscor.

                            The entry level STI 1911 (Spartan) is an Armscor built gun with all STI fitted small parts.

                              I'll add this disclaimer:

                              STI Spartan > RIA
