Rock Island Armory 1911 A1 FS TAC: Low Cost, High Return

Do you want a competition-grade 1911 pistol? The Rock Island Armory (RIA) 1911A1 FS TAC is a full-sized, competition-ready .45 ACP pistol that will not break your bank account.
It is also capable when used for self-defense and highly customizable. Look at this beautiful hand cannon with me today, and you may be surprised at how affordable a custom gun can be.

-- Ha! Made my day. My wife too. She's Italian. Tried to kill me with a kitchen knife three times. As a result, we have three kids :D

[@Enriquez9805]

Thanks Sir!!! 😆😆😆😅 I'm from Philippines.

[@martinmoore5335]

I bet she's hot to huh

[@yoshiyazunayatuhan884]

You got it man. After all, 1911 was concepted out of the American problem with the Philippine warriors.

[@Zantar45]

Shot my new Rock Island standard full-size (51431) the other day.
Its not a tactical or competition model but it is a fun, fun gun.
Put a fist sized hole through the face of a target at 15 yards which is great for my old eyeballs.
Only change I made to the thing was to add a drop of florescent orange Testors paint to the front sight blade.

[@Gunscom]

Right on!!

[@jcf7893]

Thanks for this review. I've been mulling over which manufacturer I should get my first 1911 from here in the Philippines, and you've convinced me to get that awesome thing. Looking forward to feeling that same excitement you've shown when I get my first shots off in the near future!

[@ashoo10001]

Loved this Pistol. This is a Legend.

[@Gunscom]

Right on.

[@dennisanway6775]

Nice Shooting Ronbo!!!!!! Love that Pistol!!!!

[@Gunscom]

Thank you Sir !

[@user-fj1dd2bv9x]

Love mine and like the manual says" 500 rounds of FMJ round nose break-in" this applies to their magazines as well.

[@beegeebad3193]

Proud owner my friend you did em justice

[@ariscubanbreed7265]

Awesome.Thanks for the video.

[@martinmoore5335]

Beats the shit outta any plastic gun out there

[@christophereger1053]

Those PI-made 1911s are about as tough as it gets

[@marcross52-95]

*RPH.

[@Gunscom]

Yes Sir.

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

-- 5 months late to the party but thumbs up. I like your energy, and I'm STRONGLY considering picking one of these up for my daughter. She's 7, just passed her pistol course at academy. It's big for her, and she has several firearms of her own (course they're under my lock and key) but despite the size, I just thing it's a sin not to have a .45 in the personal inventory.

[@manuelalanis3860]

But some go for $750

[@LilFella67]

Damn that’s fun to watch.

[@MrMallymal68]

Nice pistol: I have this one and the Tac Ultra 16 and one 10mm

[@rickeydavis3869]

This may be my next gun...I been look at some other 1911

[@Gunscom]

You won't be disappointed. We have plenty of them new and used on our site.

[@brtseif]

Thanks for the video! Out of curiosity, what holster are you using?

[@Joe-pu3qi]

The Cowboy Hat helps you be more ACCURATE.

[@SoCalCrawlers]

Howdy,
I have a question about your extended magazine release. I'm presuming it is a Wilson Combat?, did you have to fit/hone the material down to fit within the existing magazine release housing ?

[@torqenv812]

Might pick up a RIA as an entry 1911, but I dont need rails so I guess I will have to find similar plain version.

[@danilobadua7775]

Get the Pro Match Ultra FS. Its fullsized 1911, adjustable LPA rear sight, front orange fiber optic, ambidextrous thumb safety, skeletonized hammer, beavertail grip safety, with fine vertical rear of the slide serration only, and made by the Medallion shop of Armscor. That is what I bought back in 2021 and still have it. Its a keeper. The fitting is much better than my Springfield, equal to my Kimber, and my friend's Dan Wesson PM7. I kid you not. The trigger pull out of the box is clean and creep free.

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

Rondo, how did you get the right side safety off the gun. Mine has a stud like deal on the right side ?

[@manuelalanis3860]

You may find one for $400 in Texas

[@valseyer4486]

Simon neta que si, yup.

[@seedless-bud]

I have the same pistol but in 10MM

[@jorams6952]

Which mag holster is that for the 1911 magazines?

[@manuelalanis3860]

Paid $650 with extra grips scorpion design and a Gold plated grim reaper GRip and extra magazine and fast reloader plus 50rnds

[@CommentingTheTruth]

Bending the sear spring will get your trigger pull down.

[@manuelalanis3860]

Cheap ones for $499

[@rodrigocasimbon5242]

Maybe a tripod?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Gunscom]

Yes Sir.

[@stevenfan1218]

Don't like wilson combat mags..I allways stick with the brand they came with...so I order mine from the company that made the gun.usally metgar.

[@martinmoore5335]
