    Hey everyone, there's a lot of questions about running the pistol empty. Part of my training with the 1911 was to reload before you're empty so you're not standing there with an empty gun.

    Imagine being riddled with bullets, laying helplessly on the ground, and the last words you hear are "...and for demonstration purposes only..." BANG

    Back in 2008 I went searching the local gun stores in my area for a 1911. I was prepard to spend $600 to $800. I am a former MP in the US Army and carried the 1911 from 1979-1982. I was shown many different brands of 1911's. Kimber's, Springfield's, etc. None of them felt good in my hand. Finally the salesman pulled the Rock Island off the bottom shelf. As soon as I held it, it felt like being reunited with an old friend. It was just a well built copy of a US Government issued 1911 to me and when he told me it was $410, I was sold. Had it now for almost 14 years and have run 1000's of rounds through it and its never falled me.

    Anyone else interested in hearing Paul's top ten list of "best handguns for the buck"?

    Imagine being a home invader, and you hear "Bear with me, we're at the house today with a home intruder so my speech may be impeded on by some --gunfire--."

    At some point in the last 24 hours, the CEO of Rock Island Armory called every member of their board saying "He likes us! He really likes us!".

    "And just for demonstration purposes" He says as he dates that guy's mother.

    A man who has "spare no expense", really fine firearms, yet is not coping an attitude about testing a budget model. That's refreshing.

    I’ve owned several 1911s from kimber, Springfield, auto ordnance and rock island. All are good guns worth every penny. don’t let people trash talk what you buy, it is none of their business

    Paul posting 2 videos in as many days- is Paul just bored, or is he being considerate because we have absolutely nothing to do?

    I had two 1911s; one was a RIA, the other a Springfield. It took awhile to break in the RIA while the Springfield was good out of the box. But once the RIA was broken in, it worked like a champ. You can't go wrong with a RIA 1911 for the money.

    Just bought a RIA 1911 for 517 two days ago for my first gun. Put 50 rounds through it and it shot beautiful. Glad to see another Harrell approving the purchase haha great video

    The 2 ultimate “dad” flexes are owning a Colt or Kimber 1911 and 2 alternators on your truck

    Whenever Paul's wearing that jacket, you can bet he's got pistols in his pockets.

    You can hear Paul’s military background when he pulls out the “for demonstration purposes only”

    I love my RIA 1911. It's accurate, barely any recoil and feeds my RIA and Winchester ammo flawlessly. I also found it on sale, for $299. You can't beat that!!
