jbizzy 0 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hey all, I'm set on getting a Rock Island Armory .45. I'm looking for a compact CCW model that is reasonable online. I have an FFL dealer that will recieve it for me. From searching the web they are about 400$ to 425$. Anyone know of a good reputable online retailer that is reasonable? Thanks.

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ya done went and waited too long to start buying firearms and related items. What with the Election right around the corner, stock has been cleaned out and prices have jumped, and it will only get worse. Centerfiresystem's Rock Island Compact 1911s are all OoS and BOd, and their cheapest is still $389.99. Just like everyone else, if its In-Stock its inflated, if its Out of Stock... Well, g'luck with that Backorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
telero 4 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Sarco Inc. seems to have it available for $380 plus shipping. I've heard good things about them on a couple of 1911 boards, but have never dealt with them personally. http://e-sarcoinc.com/rockislandpistols.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun12 205 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I got one a couple months ago and i'm glad i got one too. Also, if you are going to get hollow points for it make sure you try some out before buying a crap load of it. Not all hollow points work well with this gun but some work flawlessly.

What ammo do you use? I'll be wanting reliable self defense rounds and also cheap ammo to build accuracy on. I currently use Speer Gold Dots in my .40 and whatever else is cheap to just shoot with.

Shotgun12 205 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) When i shoot hollow points i like to use Zombie Max because they run without flaw in my 1911. What you need to look for is a hollow point that has a nice shape that resembles ball ammunition. The average cone shaped HP will more than likely jam. This is my experience so far with my RIA 1911. Just do some searching and you can get other people's opinions about the different types of HP people shoot. Edited August 26, 2012 by Corruptz0rz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbizzy 0 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ok, so I see rock island and ATI both being very similar. Which is better? ATI seems to look a little nicer. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
