PURE VALUE for your MONEY. FYI Rock Island is known is the Philippines as Arms Corporation correct me if i am wrong. this is what you call MAN GUN but handles a WOMAN well.which mean you dont really care bout nicks and dings. it does the job right.no dramas no issues. thanks for buying our product.
@yocam420 Sir, Sir, RIA or Arms Corporation of the Philippines(Private company, no relation to the government) makes ONLY INVESTMENT CAST RECEIVERS and FRAMES. It's not forged.
Some are circulation misleading info about this gun. My colleague's gun fell down the concrete floor, face first. the corner of the slide beside the muzzle had a dent. 2nd time, the novak-immitation sight dented. FYI.
I don't blame you, they aren't mainstream 1911s and you'll get a lot of haters. You'll also get people who will say, why didn't you save another $150 and get a Springfield. Honestly, I wanted a 1911 and at the time I had what I had in my account, I heard about RIA, did my research and made my decision. So far, mine goes bang everytime. Let me send you a PM with an link to an article you might like to read. Quite amazing if you ask me.
Thanks! I am very proud of her. I can feel better that while I'm away at work she can take care of herself and family if need be.
I am currently instructing my coworker and so far she has only amazed me on how fast and how well she has shot. She's the one in my newest vids shooting my S&W M&P9.
i was wondering about how far away the target was ..im takinging my ccw permitt and we have to shoot 3 7 and 15 yards away im thing about useing my ria 1911
Never good to go shooting in a top like that. My girlfriend did it once when we were shooting my Springfield XD9 and a spent casing went right down her shirt. Needless to say she put the gun down and danced around like a maniac. Result = A decent sized burn on her chest.
I agree absolutely about the Weaver being way behind. I've changed my stance since then. Pretty much exactly like you've described. Such an improvement on my grouping and just the way it feels in general. Always good to hear good advise. You should have commented a year ago ;) haha
This is an old vid of me shooting. I've changed the way I shoot. I was using the stance I was told when I first started shooting. Since then I've learned other ways. Now I just use the triangle stance with the 70/30 grip instead of the weaver. Bent slightly at the hips and my weight is more on the balls of my feet. MUCH better than the other way. My grouping is much improved. Yeah...the vid looked all wrong. Live and learn I guess
Yes. This is an old video. Since then she has changed stances to the one you are describing. Whenever we watch this vid I tease her about her stance. So no worries, she's on key now.
Absolutely. Since then she has changed her stance and she handles the recoil much better. I had other vids of shooting but she is really picky of what vids I post of her. Hopefully I'll get some new ones with her.
Yes I am picky about the vids you post. In fact you have several of me that I don't like and if it were not for the fact that I hope my mistakes help other people learn to shoot better, I would have you take them down. I hate looking like an ass but alas that is how we learn. Needless to say I've learned quite a bit judging by how many times thats happened.
If you don't find any good deals go look up SARCO inc. on the internet. They have good deals on RIAs. If you want a tactical model like mine look for Bellshireguns on Gunbroker.
If you got another Ruger to spare why not. Trade it. You won't be disappointed. RIA has the number one service of all 1911 manufactureres if you ask me. BTW. The price of them are going up cuz the word is getting out. They are the best bang for your buck 1911.
LOL. No. No cop. Just a housewife that has a love for firearms. Especially the 1911. I'll be getting my RIA compact soon. I'll post vids when I take my new addition for the break in period on the range. Feel free to subscribe. I got more vids on the way. Several involving an experiment with the AK-47 and muzzle brakes;)
LOL. To the bitter end she says. She wants to go again cuz her first target was sloppy, but by the end of the session her grouping on the second target was better. I'll get the next session on vid too. We'll be working on week side shooting.
Shes a boss, nice shooting. I have been eyeballing the RIA and after i pay off this Colt, it's next for sure.

If she shot with a more aggressive stance, instead of a weaver with her weight on her heels, the recoil would be a lot easier to manage.
