Good review. I got lucky and bought the same gun with the kit that came with the 22TCM barrel and spring as well. This was my first 1911/2011 and I truly enjoy shooting it. It's always fun firing some 22TCM at the range. Everyone looks over to see what kind of canon you're holding. When I convert it back to 9mm, it is a smooth shooting gun, little felt recoil. The only thing I did to mine was adjust the sights and the trigger to get rid of some of the takeup. For someone looking for an entry 2011, this RIA has my vote.

this is exactly my RIA TAC ULTRA HS FS 1911, chambered in 9MM, this is a sweet piece of hardware for keeps. have shot more than 2th rounds on it and counting.... very informative review indeed, thanks for sharing brother. :-)

Bought the same one. I don't need another gun. I got it in 10 mm. I absolutely love the gun.

So I purchased the 22TCM-9MM TAC ULTRA HC Pistol. For a while all the Rock Island pistols were VERY hard to find in stock. Anyway, I was completely surprised about all the things I DIDN'T have to buy to make it an awesome pistol. I didn't have to spend SO much extra that I could get the TAC Ultra HC in 10mm with threaded barrel! I've added a .40 S&W barrel to that setup and now I have 2 pistols shooting 4 calibers. I'm going to add a .38 Super barrel to the 22TCM pistol combination and soon I'll have one in .45ACP shooting .45 SUPER as well. (New custom barrel for that one) All things considered I couldn't be happier. Yeah, I may change the trigger and tweak it a few things but it's totally not required like it is with some pistols. Kudos to ARMSCOR and Rock Island for producing such fine products. Oh, I almost forgot. I also picked up the 22TCM 9R Glock 17 setup! Major Kudos!!

I’ve owned several 1991’s from 2 Kimbers to 4 different Rock Islands to include the FS HC in .45acp and i tell ya what! I’d depend on a Rock Island in a HEARTBEAT! Amazingly durable, and reliable firearms. If you’re on a tight budget and want something dependable spend your money wisely and get a ROCK ISLAND 1911/2011!!! You won’t be disappointed. My rear right went defunct so i had that replaced. My only issue ever w/ a RIA firearm. Great for first time 1911/2011 Shooter’s too!

After drooling over this pistol for years I finally bought one. She's a beast. I love it. Good shooter too. So the one they sent you (from first impressions) is an honest example of the piece instead of a fine tuned tester.

Go try a rental one and say that again. I've found that ranges tend to get a real first hand experience on how reliable a gun is over many rounds and abuse, and they catalog round counts very well. I know of 3 indoor ranges in my area that had them, all but one got rid of it, and the guy who hasn't keeps both of them (9mm double stack and 45acp M1911A1 style) to prove a point about cheap vs good 1911's. the 45acp singles you can most likely get away with high counts, but the 9mm's have a shit ton of issues with both mags and feeding if the ramp is oddly located in distance from the magazine and if the throat of the mag becomes mishapened (double into single stack transitions are unreliable by nature for reasons). Ended up keeping to a second hand P-09 for two years, and saving up/waiting for a custom 2011 with exactly what I wanted while having my frame for it sitting in a shoebox. Of course the thing is now a wallet burner, just drives you to keep shooting and keep practicing and keep trying to get both faster and more accurate, now have 3700rds through it and I will have had it for a year come the 20th.

I just bought this in 10mm. Can't wait to pick it up !

I have the single stack 10mm from Rock Island. It's trigger would embarass many $2000 1911s, and it's accuracy is second to none in the production gun category.

KS, what happened man? Loved your channel! Lol I’ve found that I’ve purchased nearly all the guns you reviewed. If you had stayed in the guntuber game, I’m pretty sure your channel would rival Honest Outlaw, MAC, etc. never too late to make a glorious comeback!!!

I just purchased one, and the only problem I found. I wish it would have came with 2 magazines instead of the one. I’ve already found a holster for it. All I need is about 5 more magazines for it. I looked on Armscor website, and not only found the magazines, but also that they make +4 baseplates for them(although I wouldn’t order any)which turns them into a 21 round magazine. I already have the Rock Tactical .45acp, and haven’t had any problems out of it. All I can say is after reading several reviews of this pistol. I bought one Hell Of A .9mm!!

Nice review! I had a mostly good experience with an Armscor Rock Standard 9mm 1911 and wanted to try one of these but never found one. Accuracy wasn’t great with mine but I heard much better reports on the Tac Ultra but just couldn’t find one. Found an HC Rock at a local gun shop and held it but was concerned that huge grip would hurt the geometry for me. I was still willing to try but found that Sig 9mm Tacops first and I guess I’m just as happy I did. Still, nice to hear that this Armscor product worked well for you. Martin seems like a good guy who genuinely want to make a good product.

I ended up picking up both, fitting the TCM barrel and slide to my HC, and swapping the uppers. It is a serious blast now. The poor 9mm single stack gets no attention.

Just bought this gun in .45 ACP. My local gun shop had this and a Glock 41. The Glock cost less, the 41 has very good reviews, but no stock Glock is going to be as accurate as a well made 1911 platform. So I got Glock-like capacity with 1911 accuracy...now to find a duty holster to carry the new RIA and replace my Kimber TLE/RL II Custom I carry now.

I do...but I clean the chamber hounds tooth clean before going back to 10mm. Use 180gr, the lighter stuff won't work)

Those fireballs are epic! I own several 1911's; so I'm familiar with them. I understand why you didn't want to field the strip the gun on camera; but for those who are not experienced, I think it would have been helpful to explain that there are slight variations between some 1911 platform guns; when it comes to disassembly and reassembly. For example, full length guide rods vs. standard length, two piece guide rods; and in the case of this gun, the full length dust cover.

Took me 2 years to get one in 45 have 4 rock islands now an 1 para Ord. P 14 45 custom. 1911 or 2011 are the standard in combat or self defence. The rock island pistols are top notch for The money. With all the bells an whistles that would cost you a fortune to have done as far as customizing a plain Jane 1911

I purchased the TCM variant about a month ago. Have not shot any of the 22 TCM rounds yet but it functions flawlessly with 9mm. Very soft shooting evening running +P loads. If using this for competition, the mags are sized to accommodate the 22 TCM round at 1.265” so loading to make major power factor using 124 or 147 grn 9mm projectiles shouldn’t be any issue. The weight of this pistol soaks up recoil. The 1 Mag the pistol came with will take 18 rounds. If purchasing additional mags make sure to get the correct one. You want the mag with the extended base plate. If you get the wrong ones you can put a Dawson’s extend pad on to make them function properly. A side note, the mags with Dawson extended base pads only hold 17 rounds. Also, P18 mags will work if you run an extended base pad.

My Rock Island Ultra FS HC (16+1 10mm) is a fantastic 1911, even if it doesn’t have a rail or front serrations, and comes stock with a lot of features that add mucho money to the base price of most 1911’s. Typical of a solid steel 1911 the recoil is minimal, even with juiced up 10mm loads, which makes shooting very enjoyable!! Great review as always KS!

Which is a better gun this tac ultra or the sig p320 x5 legion? Looking to get one for range toy/ home gun

Do you recommend any particular mag that does not require any changes? It just comes with a single one and I am having random lock up open while shooting so I need more mags to see if it is the mag or some other problem. When I am shooting sometimes I notice it locks back with rounds in the mag, the round has move forward a little, I remove the mag, push back the round, try to pull back on the slide but it is locked up, I have to push on the slide release and pull back on the slide to unlock it. This happens randomly. I am a left hand shooter so I know I am not accidentally pushing on the slide lock lever.

Is there any other budget 2011s to consider or compare this to? Thanks for the review!

Im a Glock guy and love 1911 look but prefer the double stack. Sigh. I am seriously contemplating coming to the dark side after checking one out at the gun store. All the reviews are pushing me further toward it.

I wanted one of these so bad because I'm a 10mm fan, 1911 fan, high capacity is a plus, and it uses the standard pattern slide so my holsters would fit it. It cycled flawlessly and ate various loadings regardless of projectile type or case material. Unfortunately it was not accurate. Groups at 7 yds looked like 00 buck. I shoot 1911 on the regular and stack holes. I really was disappointed how things turned out.

I have a Kimber 45 and a Dan Wesson 10mm but I actually like my rock island double stack 45 more. GREAT GUN FOR GREAT PRICE, once you do the work on it which makes it great. Before I even shot the gun I did the work. Added small metal strip to the end of the trigger strap which reduced the pull length on the trigger. replaced the ambi safety with short lower low profile Wilson Combat. Polished the back-strap and all of the back strap/ back side so it is totally smooth to my hand on gripping. the grips on it are already perfect. the larger grip really truly is not that much larger and in fact I prefer it. The gun shoots and handles great. In short like I said in the beginning I like shooting this more than my every expensive 1911s. Did I mention that this gun with all I did cost may less than 700 dollars. I could buy all 3 of these for less than i spend on my Dan Wesson. Get a 9mm, a 10mm and a 45 for the same price as one over priced Gucci gun and then you can pretty much say you have it all covered.

Great review, KS! Never had a 2011, I prefer single stack. I can carry a full-size single stack 1911, cuz their so slim. But, this RIA offers a lot for the money. RIA has come a long way. The Filipinos' can make some very good guns and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), hand fit even their low-priced guns. And, since becoming an American company, quality and rreliability has become as good as guns many times the price. So, If you're dreaming about an STI, this is an excellent way to get into that type of gun and see if you like it. I also, like that they removed the billboard advertising...like you said KS, "...very tastefully done."

Thank you Mean! I agree about preferring a 1911 versus a 2011, but I recommend the experience if nothing else. I’m not sure about the hand fitting but the slide runs like glass. For the money, RIAs are tough to beat! Cheers brother!

I have the Rock Island Armory Pro Match Ultra 10mm with a 6-inch barrel and a double stack 16 round magazine. But... My EDC is an FNX 45 Tactical with a Trigicon RMR. It carries a double stack 15 round magazine. That is 15+1 rounds of 45 ACP.

handling recoil like a boss

I have small fat hands and the beretta double action doesn't work well for me. I was worried about this thick grip as well. I found a 10mm hc at my local ffl and it felt great. Probably not too much to worry about.

Here I am telling my wife I don't want to buy anymore guns until spring and here I sit contemplating the finances to get this beauty 😅

I wonder how does it compare to Remington 1911 R1 Limited Double Stack 9mm?

Very Nice Review, looks like a nice pistols! TFS Carry On

Thanks Big J! Cheers brother!

I'm picking up my R.I.A tac ultra 45acp later today I can't wait to fire it and if all goes well I might consider getting the 9mm / 22tcm model as well the place I ordered it from only had the 45 acp model available at the time

Where did you order yours?

I want to buy one of these for duty at this Armed Security job I got. Just need a level 2 or 3 holster for it.

You said "depending on your hand size". I have larger than average hands. I can palm a basketball. I want a 2011. Is this a good choice for me based on hand size?

I have this in 10mm, 45ACP and 9mm. Excellent guns. Excellent price.

Is the extractir mim? Lookin into the .45

I have that gun and it is amazing. The only thing that bothers me it the thumb safety is to light. I like having a high grib and my thumb bumbs it sometimes. So im sure with a little more time and training ill correct that but if it would have been just a little firmer that would be great.

Picked up a m1911 a2 fs-tact in .45 from my local gun shop used for $670 out the door it seems like a solid gun haven't shot it yet though

Any recommendations for a duty hostler for this?

XD I love rock river! This sure as hell is cheaper then the staccato P 9MM ( $1,999.00) I found this vid After trying to look for staccato P REVIEW VIDS. im happy now. A NICE ALTERNATIVE FOR HIGH QUALITY!!!

I agree CCC! Thank you and cheers brother!

I think if they made their logo on the slide embossed like Kimber instead of colored it would look a ton better. It looks like it needs more aggressive front strap serrations and thin grips but other than that it looks like a real winner.
