I'm not picking on 1911s, I love'em...but it's an observation.

I shoot better with a 1911 than with a Glock, although in general I seem to shoot better, (I'm talking target type shooting) with a double action revolver such as my GP-100.

When I'm shooting at bad guy type scenario targets, I'm better with the 1911.

But when I go to Memphis or St Louis I tend to carry my G-22 with an extra mag...can't be too careful...I don't have a license or the money for a crew served weapon for my pickup.

I have and enjoy all sorts of guns....my favorites on the handgun side are 1911s and Glocks...I have others and they're fine. Recently I bought a Rock Island 1911 in 10mm..it had an ambi-safety, which I don't like..so I ordered one from Fusion...and ended up having to take it to a gunsmith to get fitted....it isn't going to cost me much at all,,but, one thing about Glocks I've noticed....I've never had to have a part fitted...whether it was Glock originals or some aftermarket part for my triggers, it went right in, no muss, no fuss..

I still love 1911s,,,but Glock gets a lot of things right...

Thank you...I may just have to learn to like it..it's the first 1911 I've ever owned with an ambi-safety and it just feels different.

Can I take the ambidextrous safety off of my RIA 1911 and put on a standard safety, without too much trouble?

I picked up my new pistol today,,it's very nice, however, they only come with one magazine, sort of cheap on Armscor's part if you ask me,,,,however, I would like at least 2 more mags, are the MecGars good quality magazines?

I could not figure out how to order mags on Armscor's website, or if you can.

Thank you, I guess I missed those notations.

I just ordered 250 rounds of this to get started..does anyone have any experience with it? I could not find any notations on velocity, does anyone know?

Thank you muchly...

Well, I just my first 10mm pistol, a Rock Island Tactical 1911. I settled on it over the Glock or EAA due to the fact that I have so much 1911 gear....

I'm retired USAF AMMO, I'm 62 years old and I've been shooting since St. Peter was a corporal. I was a Scout leader for 20 years, I raised 3 Eagles, my sons, all are veterans or currently in the military.

I live here in beautiful Swamp-East, Missouri, where the skeeters are the size of fighter planes and ticks the size of dinner plates..I like beer.

I reload most of my ammo so excited to get started on this.

I hunt, fish, hike and l like bow hunting with my recurve and wooden arrows...
