 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a new Rock Island armory 1911 called the BBR 3.10 it's a subcompact 1911 with a 3.1 inch barrel a double stack That carries 10 rounds of 45 ACP That's a lot of firepower packed in this little magazine that fits into the BBR 3.10 It's a 1911 that is small. It's not lightweight and it's not thin check out that grip It's stout with the G10 grips there. It is stout. It is a handful But it's if you love 1911's you're gonna love this thing because not only doesn't carry 10 rounds But it is very small and it has all the features that we love with 1911's like your thumb safety here carry that cocked-in lock. It's not an ambi thumb safety And then of course the magazine release Right here Which has a nice deployment? So it's everything is reachable and then the trigger that I measure right at Five and a half pounds and here's your single action reset Right there. Let's go ahead and get a measurement on that Because the the site says I believe it says five to six pounds, but I am measuring that right in between Five and six pounds and there you go five and a half pounds exactly So that that's pretty consistent with what I measured off-camera But I like the way to feel it. You know, it is a handful But it's it's all Rock Island with the parker eyes finished slide It's got the the nice-looking a stainless barrel fiber optic front sight and an adjustable Adjustable rear sight that has two dots there. All right, there are your adjustments and then over here So it's a it's a nice little package, you know extended beaver tail grip safety everything you love about the 1911 and a very small package It's cool. I like it in 10 rounds That I think is pretty amazing. They're able to pack all those in now I have a another double stack 1911 to Remington limited and so I was wondering would this Actually accept this 15 round mag and I can see here It doesn't always lock back by put a little bit of pressure underneath it will so it's very close But it will charge rounds because I already tried that off-camera So it's you can use that as a spare mag if you wish or you can go ahead and take the other mag Because it does come with two 10 round mags That are you know identical does have witness holes on the right side, but that's what you're looking at right there And then with the G10 grips once again, you're looking at a fat a Shorten fat gun. All right, that's what you're looking at now. It does have some, you know your regular 1911 texturing on the back strap Main spring housing is flat and then rather aggressive front strap right there But a pretty decent looking gun and I do like that fiber optic front sight for that Three-dot sight picture if that will align. Let's go ahead and get it on the scale. See what this thing's weighing in at I Took it to the range. I did not create a range review. I just wanted to function check it and It tames the recoil the 45 very nicely here. We have an unloaded BBR 3.10 the unloaded weight two pounds two and one eighth ounce We move that to just ounces. We're looking at 34 and one eighth ounce, but if we take ten rounds Here we have hollow points. All right, so we carry it Here we have ten rounds getting there slam that mag home We're looking at 41 and three quarters. I've got another 45 here for 11 rounds 42 and 3 8 so about 42 and a half ounces Is what you would be carrying if you decided to carry the Rock Island? BBR 3.10 Nice trigger. I do think you know, I've shot several Rock Island 1911's in the past and I do enjoy The trigger pull and people say they they love Rock Island. They say, you know for a budget 1911 handgun 1911 especially Rock Island makes some of the best and you can see it's very clean machining Longer frame rails there Not full-length, but it is a 1911 All right, and then here what we're looking at this is a little bit different. It's a dual recoil spring. It's uncaptured, but it is Very tight to try to get this out. It takes a little bit of Doing but it'll work now here. You have your uncaptured recoil spring all steel guide rod dual springs there And then it does have a bushing for the recoil spring guide rod and then Push that link down and out comes the 3.1 inch barrel With the locking lugs right there. All right, and then here's the slide we're looking at Nice little setup 1970 series All right, so you don't have that plunger there that some of those 80 series 1911's have but there it is let me put this back together and we'll wrap this thing up There it is Rock Island BBR 3.10 little stocky fat powerhouse that carries 10 rounds of 45 ACP MSRP 699 I would guess in the upper 500s. You'll be able to get this at your local gun store It will be available on October 1st. It is on the Rock Island site And I think it's a pretty cool 1911 look forward to a range review Forthcoming if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share.
