I much prefer forged frames for strength and aesthetics vs cast. Another consideration is how the hot 10mm round is supported in the chamber. Not all 1911 manufacturers have fully supported chambers. Kimber & Dan Wesson are among the best in this regard for the 10mm. Buy once cry once.

Their employees show up here, pretending to be "just another member" and pimp RIA products. If you have to do that, your products are suspect in my book. Been down that road, mine could not run a full magazine without FTF's . They sent me an RMA and fixed it within a week but down the road it went. They did fix the problem though. If I were to buy a 1911 10mm it would be a Kimber or Dan Wesson.

Tisas guns come with a hang tag stating they are all FORGED, and hardened before machining. Try to keep up. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

At least he does not send you PMs implying he will sue you for calling him out on his conduct, without directly saying so, since he knows he stands a snowballs chance in hell, and the fallout in terms of public relations for his current employer would be beyond disastrous.. I too avoid RIA, and avoid recommending anything, directly as a result of this conduct. Seems like I miss a lot on here. I've been enthusiastic on the RIAs based on the experience of one pistol bought used in 2007. It's a dandy, and just about everyone who's used it has wanted it. Seen a fair number of guys on here recommend them, but don't remember anything that looked like the employee pimping described. Seems a shame that something like this happens.

Its been very reliable. It did need heavy duty springs, everywhere, including the magazine springs. It gets thawed every night near woodstove and doesn't weigh down the parka pocket. Always frosty, then warmed. Surprisingly, very little rust. Very good finish. Both my sp-101 357 mag and this 10 mm are loaded with swift a-frames. They penetrate very well, but won't blow through the offside of a moose and kill a sled dog, like fkn hard cast. It has a serious muzzle blast with certain ammo though. I do shoot squirrels with it for practice. One dog gets gun-shy, lays down and quits for a few minutes. His girlfriend "party-girl" consoles him. She fkn loves guns!

Saw lots and lots of CZs and CZ copies in the middle east, but (big shocker) not a single one in 10mm. More than a few .45s circulating though. THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running! www.lostriverammocompany.com
