A 1911 of any brand would not be my choice to ride in the floorboard but cheap 1911's are not the most trouble free guns out there when given proper care, add in 9mm and it's a trifecta of opportunity to choke.
1911's are not Glock's. I know a few guys that shoot RI's and they run pretty well once you change out the cheap parts. Can't imagine these being any better but I've only looked at a sample of one and did not shoot it. The dealer trying to interest me in it was much more impressed with it than I was.
