 Bought this all steel Rock Island Armory 1911 in .22 magnum today. Magazines holds 14 rounds, should be great fun as a plinker. |

A few years back, I bought a Rock Island Armory Officer's Model-style 1911 in 45 ACP, almost purely to see just how bad a $400 could be.
It turned out to be one of the nicest 1911s I'd ever owned. I didn't do any work on that one at all - didn't even need to do a detail cleaning when I bought it, but I had to tear it down to realize that. Not sure if they still make them like that, but I'd recommend them based on my one experience.
That a neat and interesting piece - 22 Mag. That could be a very useful handgun even beyond just fun.

Hahaha, that pretty cool. Especially in 22 mag! Only down side is ammo cost.

Man, that's cool. And in my favorite rifle cartridge. I do love 1911s, but i think i can resist...maybe.

At the indoor range at 50 feet offhand, 10 shot groups were in the neighborhood of 3 inches (guesstimated, not measured) Groups were all well centered and not one issue with feeding. Gun is a lot of fun, just a little on the heavy side. Trigger is OUTSTANDING, at least on mine. |

But you need to find some grips with a little squirrel skull on them instead.
