A Gunsmiths Perspective on the RIA 1911 Gi
Overall, I find these to be quite well made firearms and punch well above their weight quality wise. While not the top of the line in the finish department, the fit, reliability, and mechanical accuracy all compare to the big name brands. most 1911s do have some quirks, and these are no exception. they are all sensitive to magazine and extractor tension. fortunately out of the box the extractor tension on this gun was perfect.
