May get booed here but , I'm not big 1911 guy but I do have (box is labeled armscor ultra) , gun is stamped RIA A1-tact II . Itx strait up sold never had an issue , shot about 500 rounds. It. was used before I got it
I have two Rock Island pistols, and they are head and shoulders better than their Colt equivalents from back in the '70s and '80s. I had lots of Colts from back then, and I'd have to invest a fortune to bring them up to what I got with the Rock Island pistols. They are a lot better than their finish implies, certainly.
New Colts might be better, but might not be, either. I have a '90s vintage Custom Shop Colt that isn't much better than the Rock, and I think that's due to the trigger job from the Custom Shop. They might not be pretty, but they seem to function quite well.
