You guys are discounting the "central nervous system syndrome." Want a classic example of what I'm talking about? Go to YouTube and look at the video of the Hinckley assassination attempt on Pres. Reagan. There was a Secret Service agent walking behind Reagan when Hinckley started shooting. I would guess he was over 6 ft. tall and weighed a about 190. When he was struck in the abdomen with a .22 cal. bullet both his feet came off the ground. Go and look at the video and explain how that happened.

I just came home with it about a week ago. It's a Citadel M1911 fs (full size) Parkerized finish. I did a mess of research before buying it and basically reached the conclusion that its a rebranded RIA Put over 400 rounds in it so far and not so much as a burp,and I love the beaver tailing so I dont get my hand pinched when it fires. I will say this though field stripping it to clean is a little harder than it looks, the barrel bushing is a tight fit and requires a bit more muscle to move than I thought. (that and the guy at the shop got all excited about lubricating it so there was oil and stuff all over it, needed a good rubdown before fireing, but with two mags at $427 total Im Happy.
the mags look a little dusty with the flash on they dont look like that upon eye inspection though.

If it was made by Armscor in the Phillipines (probably was), it was most likely oiled like that at the factory before being wrapped and boxed. Every new RIA I've ever seen was dripping with oil when you open up the case. Almost like they dipped them in it.

I have a Springfield 1911A1, a Randall 1911A1, a Kimber pro elite, a Kimber Eclipse, and a STI. Love them all. Thinking about selling the Randall.

| I just joined the 1911 club last Monday with a Colt Government MK IV, Series 70. Manufactured in 1978. It is in great shape, almost new but for one problem. The first and second time I fired it I used hollow points and had FTF's as well as FTE's. I took it to a gunsmith and he polished the ramp and the FTF's stopped but the FTE's persisted. Not on every round but intermittently. He is continuing to work on it but it is still disconcerting. It seems the slide sometimes fails to go completely into battery and therein, it seems, lies the problem. I bought it for my new CCW, but I'm not sure I can now trust my life to it.
I know the gun was really meant for FMJ's and they fired successfully (except for the FTE's), but the HP's I used were Speer Gold Dot +P as well as Winchester PDX1's.

In a way. Mine was built by a local gunsmith. Essex stainless frame and slide, Colt National Match barrel, 2 stage adjustable recoil spring/buffer, Pachmayr wraparound grips, Millet 3 dot sights, very clean trigger pull and break, very light hammer fall, total reliability with whatever I feed it. I did polish the feed ramp a bit, but that's it. I picked up 4 Chip McCormick mags at a sale for it not too long ago.

Just picked up my 1st 1911A1. It is a Norinco that was used but only fired 150 rounds and is in amazing condition. 300 bucks could not pass it up  | |
