I get it, you don't like Glocks but the whole Glock is only for police is Fudd lore. Glock was designed for the Austrian army trials so it is a weapon of war. The British army use the Glock 17 along with numerous other armies. Navy Seals, DevGru, CAG and Marine Raiders and Force Recon use Glocks. That Rock hasn't been issued by anybody. This coming from a 1911 fan.

I bought this pistol in 2017 and it's been flawless. It's a heavy pistol so i wouldn't recommend it for conceal carry but some people may think differently.

I’ve had their tactical FS double stack in 45APC, and it’s been amazing for the last 10 years. Only had one issue with a modification I was doing, and I was able to actually talk to one of the RIA gunsmiths on the phone and via email. I would 100% recommend this pistol, and their customer service for me was excellent.

You can have just about any weapon Cerakoted these days to just about any design or color you can imagine. This particular pistol is very large and so is the grip, that's why I like double stack style 1911's since I have huge hands. If I were to guess I would say that you would probably prefer a single stack 1911 and GSG actually makes a pink 22lr version if you want to get an idea of what a pink 1911 looks like.

Glock 20 > RIA More rounds, Gen Optic Ready, Easier to find parts, I was going to get the RIA but I couldn’t find mags

Going to 'frankenstein' a double-stack 45 frame, a 6" 4150CM bull barrel, a slide from a single-stack, and start pushing reloads into magnum and super-magnum territory.

My first 1911, 10mm and threaded barrel.

I agree with you, as I love my Sig 365 and Glock 19 and carry one every day, I am looking to replace them to something that is hammer fired and all metal. Tired of the plastic guns, and striker fired ones. Would love to save for the Wilson 9mm , all metal including the grips.

Great Vid bro can you do some bear load videos? I have the grizzly 220grn and haven't shot them yet. Wondering how they will function through this pistol

Nice deep dive review. I’ve owned mine for about 7 months. Maybe about 500 rounds through mine. It’s broken in nicely. Solid piece, my 1st an only 1911 (All Metal). I’d say the first 200 rounds I had a few feedramp issues with one particular ammo I can’t recall. I think I was running it too dry and got some friction when it heated up. Definitely doesn’t like Hornady defensive rounds. Otherwise it runs great, I run it pretty slick while I’m still in the break in period. I notice yours was kinda dry, so you oil it much? Again great review. Solid piece for the price. 👍🏾👌🏾

@NYPrepper

Жыл бұрын

Thank you bro I appreciate it. I put oil on it yea, but nothing excessive. Oil attracts carbon and fouling too. I put a little bit on the barrel lugs and the slide rail. It has a 20 pound spring so it's got a stiff spring, a factory Glock 10mm has a 17 pound spring. If you use low power loads it would lock the slide back. I had issues with the PMC 10mm ammo.

Its easy. Just need a safety pin to take down. Theres a small hole in the guide rod you have to put a pin in it to hold the spring back. Its a full length guide rod.

I’m debating on getting the single stack variant of this gun. I want a 1911 and something in 10mm, so I was on a toss up for this, the Springfield ronin, and magnum researches offering. If you had to chose between this and those two, would you still go with this?

@NYPrepper

Жыл бұрын

I am not sure I never tried the other ones, but I can recommend the Girsan 1911 10mm's if you want a single stack. I wanted a double stack, but I will say if you have average or small hands the grip will be quite thick for you. I have had to make some minor fixes to this firearm, nothing a local gunsmith or RIA customer service can't handle.

I have both RIA 5" and 6" 10mm pistols, but both of which are single stack. The feeding issue you had probably was more related to the aftermarket magazine. But that's my guess. The recoil spring has a 20lb weight in all RIA 10mm pistols. That's what I was told by RIA customer service a while back.

Pmc bronze was jamming in the 20 as well

So, I took mine to the range for the first time today. It jams almost every time. Out of 3 factory mags, I think I managed to get 8 rounds to cycle properly. I also tried different types of ammo. It had the same problem with all ammo. I really hope RIA stands by their warranty. I'm pretty sure it's a feed ramp and/or mag issue. On a positive note, when it actually managed to cycle, it's dead accurate from the factory, and the recoil feels like I'm shooting a 22.

I think I'll give RIA a chance to fix it first. I have a Gen 4 Glock 40, which functions flawlessly. I'm not a fan of the trigger or the accuracy, but at least I have another nightstand pistol while my RIA gets fixed (hopefully).

@@NYPrepper I appreciate the info. I was confused at first, because your magazine in the case was different from the one that shipped with mine. After rewatching the video, I saw the part where you talked about the mag shortage, and then you pulled out the factory magazine that I received. Since I bought mine 2 years ago, I was fortunate to purchase 2 extra factory mags. BTW, I love your down to earth Olight Baldr Pro. I have the new rechargeable Olight Baldr Pro R light on mine, and on my Glock 40 MOS Gen 4, because they're nightstand pistols. Rechargeable batteries make sense for that purpose. On my AR-15's, I have the Baldr Pro lights with the green laser. I figure if I ever need to go back country camping in bear country, I can just take the Baldr Pro off my cheaper AR, and put it on one of my 10mm pistols. In addition, I like your sight setup for shooting with a suppressor. I don't shoot suppressed yet, but you've given me some good ideas if I ever try it.
