Ria pictures

I guess I'll get the ball rolling...

The RIA is my first foray in the the 1911's. While I've been shooting handguns for well over 40 years, I've never owned one.
I chose the Rock Island because of owner satisfaction, and superb customer service personnel. I also didn't want to invest a lot of money into something that I might not like
The gun is their basic 5" Government model. I replaced the Mahogany grips with a pair of original WWII "Coltwoods", and opted for an arched MSH from Auto Ordnance. My only real departure from the "stock" look, was the addition of the Ambi-safety (southpaw).
This has been an accurate and totally reliable gun, and a joy to shoot. I certainly have received my money's worth.

Here's mine. It started out as a GI model, but has been modified a lot since I've owned it.

Here are my Armscore 1911's.
RIA 38Super that I will install a beavertail on this week if I get time, then it will go to my gunsmiths to have the slide cut & a set of Henie Sights installed. Next is the High Standard that will stay stock for now, except for the Houge diamond grips. Then, the RIA GI that I have allready added the magwell, beavertail, hammer, trigger, sear, sear spring & disconnect to. It has the new sights also. All of these 1911' have Houge palm swell grips. Lower right is the RIA Tactical that will get a magwell as soon as it arrives.

Here are some of mine.:smile::smile:

My Super 38 all i have changed so far is grips

These are by far my favorite RIA's. They are RIA Longslides chambered in 45ACP. They are all hand fitted and are truly a work of art!!! As you can see I had custom serial numbers added JPD1 for me and JMD1 for my son!!!
