Kuddos on the Rock Island Arms 1911-got mine in 2005 and never looked back.Gobbles up any ammo I feed it and functions without a hitch. As far as the 1911 goes it's really simple to tinker with if you're into that,I "hotrodded"mine myself-trigger,hammer and sear,longer thumb safety,beaver tail grip safety,recoil spring and polished the feed ramp. It shot well enough as a stocker but I couldn't leave well enough alone-it shoots even better now. Just my 2c. SAS98M
