anxious to hear your thoughts and see pics once you get it ${$default_wink_smiley}$

Armscor gets an "E" for effort I suppose...However I am looking for something that is NOT a 1911 COPY!

In case you missed it detailed pictures were posted on page 2.

The first review of live-fire had two FTF. The ramp is rough and RIA is shipping them with a 14lb spring. The owner was going to work the ramp and put an 18-20lb spring and try again.

Hmm.Reminds me when i first got my Witness Compact.Ramp was rough,cheap like,and of course the 14lb spring.EAA placed a much better barrel in and ramp was smooth,not sharp.FTF issue mitigated.Their making 10's without doing homework or up to date,IMHO.

${$default_grin_smiley}$ All recieved in good order and well oiled.
A quick inspection showed NO movement in the frame/slide fit, kinda funny no basepad on the magazines (easily fixed). I like the finish and VZ grips look good together.
I am going deer/hog hunting this weekend but will take some 200gr cast bullet loads with me and see if they will run in the RIA.

I just ordered one today.

Price is right. We shall see how it turns out.

I was able to get to the range Sunday after church for a quick shooting session.
I had Wolff 18.5 and 20.0 lb recoil springs at the house, I installed the 20.0lb spring . I shot offhand at a 2" shoot N-C dot at 10 yards.
All handloads- 200gr cast at 1000 fps , Nosler 180 gr HP's at 1280 fps and some 135 gr Nosler's at 1450 fps . The only FTF was with the Nosler 135gr HP's ( these were handloads for my G20 SF- reloaded mutiple times) so I really have no complaints.
Accuracy was very good with the 200gr cast and 180gr Noslers , easily hitting the 2" dot when I did my part. Trigger needs a little work, I will get a trigger job done, 4lb or so.

Good to hear. Sounds like a solid performer so far.

About time we had a sub $800 1911 option in 10mm.

I was thinking the same.

I think I will wait until someone has put a little more time on theres before I jump. I want to see how they hold up.

Not that it matters, but isn't RIA using a cone barrel as opposed to a bull barrel?

475/480 · December 12 2012 06:32:21 AM MST

Yes , they would probably say a cone/bull barrel ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$

Maybe you guys could clarify for some of us. I can't find any consensus in a my google-foo of a big difference between a cone and bull barrel unless you are talking about compensated weapons, or some sort of blast wafer on the front of the barrel.

Otherwise in 1911's it seems the two terms are pretty interchangeable.

Clearly I am missing something.
