Due to how much I like my RIA Ultra, I Just wanted to share a great review on the RIA Ultra FS HC 10MM
https://www.gunbacker.com/ria-ultra-fs-10/
Just picked one up for USPSA Limited.... its my 5th 1911 and I have to agree- I love this thing... had some last round in the mag failures to feed but after replacing the mag spring I've had zero issues with both factory and Reload ammo and I've run close to 2000 rds thru it.. Yes holsters can be a pain to fit -found one made for a Para P14-45 and it fits like a glove. I have a Tanfo Stock I and between the two I'd say this one tames the recoil just a bit better.
I just ordered a RIA .40 S&W bull barrel for it to kinda keep the ammo cost down when shooting competition-The mags are the same so its not a big buck ordeal to go back and forth.
Hey Msnthrp,
Where did you purchase the .40 barrel from?, and what do they run if you don't mind me asking. I have thought about this but didn't know about the functionality once the barrels were swapped out.
Thanks man!

Fleabay... $120 for RIA factory replacement ...other brands (Nowlin) run about $250.. I'd recommend gunsmith to make final fitting
Thanks!
