Hit and miss. Some people swear by them. Others a real pieces of sh*t. Most of the cheap ones are imported by armscor i believe. I just traded off my armscor piece of sht today.

they are ok, But for around the same price you can get a Auto Ord mil spec 45 that is 100% better and for 200 more you can get a 1911 Taurus that is customized from the factory

I bought one about a month ago and have put 100 rounds through it with no problems. It is accurate. It doesn't have the fit and finish of a high end gun but mine at least is a very good gun for the money.

I've got a RIA Officer's 1911A1. It works great. I have around 400 rounds through it. Once I got through the first 100 rounds, it felt wonderful. I added Hogue Grips and it feels awesome in the hand.

Goes well with my OSK ("Oh Shit Kit")

The RIA are nice enough, but my local dealer has them priced just 50.00 cheaper than the SA milspec, and the taurus pt1911.

The the price diff I went with the taurus and SA.
