- this is my review of the Rock Island Armory 1911 chambered in 9 mm. What a great shooting gun. I know a lot of purists will cringe that it's in 9 mm but if they could get over that they would probably enjoy how smooth of a shooter it is. I hope you enjoy.
People can complain all they want about how wrong it is to run a 1911 in anything in .45 ACP. I wonder if they have ever experienced a 9mm 1911? They are incredibly flat shooting, low recoil and accurate. Regardless of what anyone says a 9mm 1911 is on my "want" list for 2021. Great review, man!
Self defense range changes in a brutal civil war 2. Try a true custom build, at home. 🤑You are strong enough for 45!😖
I'm getting older, so I'm gonna pick me up a 1911 in 9MM, but want a "budget friendly" model, so from all my research so far, I think it'll be hard to pass up the RIA. Of course, I have 1911's in .45, but if a 1911 9MM is good enough for Ken Hackathorn over at Wilson Combat, it's gonna be good for me too:)
Excellent video, covered everything important without fluff, nice work and thanks!
Great video brother thank you this was very appreciated please don't stop making these vids
I have and done review on their 10mm and 380 1911s love them both.
Rock Island Armory makes some good firearms and affordable👍
They sure do.
First I was going to get the RI 1911 9mm with the 22tcm9r barrel but instead got the Armscor 22tcm9r barrel for my Glock 17.
I could be wrong but colt was shipping 9 mm 1911s round 90 years ago for foreign contracts. Its one of the best gun for ease of use remember caliber is a matter of what you prefer I own ones in 9mm,38super and 45
Good review. I just added a Rock Ultra FS in 9mm to my 1911 family, which includes a Rock Ultra FS in 10mm and the Rock Ultra CCO in .45ACP. I've had these other two RIA 1911s for a couple years now, and I would say my two older Rocks shoot every bit as well as my Dan Wesson and my Colts (Commander LW and Mk IV Government models), perhaps even better.
Thanks for watching. Yeah I really like it. My only wish is that the detent was a little stronger on the safety. On a hammer fire gun I want a little more resistance on the safety if it am going to carry it with 1 in the chamber. Not a big deal though because I don't use a 1911 as a daily carry personally.
New to your channel, I got the same gun last year, my first 1911 and have yet to shoot it. Still need to out and try it. Enjoyed the video. God Bless
I enjoy my R.I. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching man! It still amazes me how many people watch my stuff even though it's just a small hobby style channel and not like the big guys.
Just got it for Christmas I love it only thing I wish I could put a red dot on it
ON the rear sight I put white nail polish in the rear sight dots and painted the front sight with florescent orange nail polish with a protective clear coat. Works perfect.
When I decided that I wanted to add a 1911 to my collection, I watched a lot of videos and decided on the RI 1911 in 9mm. I already have a good supply of 9mm ammo and had no desire to add a new caliber to my arsenal. I also like shooting 9mm over larger calibers.
My RI 1911 is a great pistol and very dependable.
Love mine. I love to see the whining of it not being a .45 I love shooting 600 rounds of 9mm over 600 rounds of .45 when shooting steel. This gun is very very accurate. At least mine is.
I love 9mm in a full metal gun,1911,CZ 75 or a 92 are nice shooters if a little heavy for EDC.
The 9x19mm Luger is less expensive ammunition (at least under normal circumstances) than .45 ACP, so this may be a good choice from that perspective. I like shooting 1911s, and I prefer .45 ACP in that platform, but I am not against other calibers if the gun still cycles. My suggestion is if you get a chance try out a Hi-Power.
I'd like to shoot a Hi-Power sometime. I don't know anyone here who owns one. Eventually I'll get another 1911 in .45 ACP too. Prices and ammo availability need to get closer to normal though before I start another new caliber. I don't have the budget of bigger channels who have sponsors.
My suggestion also get a Hi-Point.
@@defensedad remind me next summer. I'll bring out my Hi-Power.
I have the same model and have really enjoyed it. The only modification was I replaced the ambidextrous thumb safety with a standard GI model thumb safety because the original safety would rub on the thumb of my shooting hand and cause discomfort, since it extends out so far. Other than that it is a fine handgun to own and at a very affordable price.
Thanks for watching!
every time I buy a new gun, from the shadow2, metro arms mac classic 1911 9mm, sti 2011, I always have a gunsmith throat and ream each of them so they can eat any ammo I feed them because I hand load for competition. thanks for the review! friend is considering this handgun
Thanks for watching!
👍👍
nice purchase! no modifications?
No mods other than some orange paint on the front sight.
@@defensedad I bought the 1911 10 mm gi fs and painted my sights with pearl white nail polish and works great in the sun. Great Video 👍
Thank you I’ll be getting mine in just a. Few months 👌
Awesome!
I was told the ria 1911 was made using colt machinery bought from colt and manufactured in the Philippines.
That’s cool and all, but I would have liked to see some opinion on the machining and fit between slide and frame
Thanks for the feedback. For the record I have been very pleased with the quality of the gun. Everything fits well and runs extremely reliably.
What company's mags would work in this? Sick of buying magazines for new guns. liked and subscribed.
I ordered Mec-Gar mags and they run great. Thanks for watching!
If you can’t find a Browning Hi Power this is as close as you can get to one. I have both.
Looks like a fun firearm. I'm going to have to get into the 1911 game
I was skeptical but as soon as I shot one I knew why people liked them. Even a just OK 1911 trigger is smoother than my PPQ trigger. No lie.
You have a good grip sir..
Good shooting, how far away was the target?
I don't remember for sure but it was either 10 or 15 yards at that range.
Yes, it’s worth it.
Thanks for watching man!
Like mine a lot!!! Thanks!!
Distance from target?
It was either 10 or 15 yards. I don't remember for sure. Our pistol range was under construction that day.
I have a RIA 1911 in 9mm. It's better, as in more reliable than the M1911A1s Uncle Sam issued to me in the 70s/80s. Those malfed about every 500 rounds, and were good enough for me and others to bet our life on in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. BTW, 9 mm FMJ from a P35 will go through both sides of a German helmet at 120 yds; 45 FMJ will bounce off at 35 yds. RIA is to 1911s what Mossberg/Maverick is to shotguns. Or Walmart is to Neiman Marcus..
Thanks for watching. I do get a fair amount of crap for having a 1911 in 9mm but the gun is a joy to shoot. It tends to be a go to when I just want to shoot without filming and just have some fun.
Thanks for sharing your first 1911 experience. Rock Island (Armscor) makes decent guns for the money. We put a 9mm RIA up against an STI Duty One Lite 5.0 in Part 5 of our Great Affordable 1911 Series, and an RIA .40 caliber up against an STI Duty One 4.0 in Part 14 of the series. (Links below.)

Thanks for watching!
I don’t need to see that your weapon is clear.
You can’t shoot me through the camera/phone/computer.
That's to keep youtube from pitching a fit and flagging videos.
Perhaps you should have some actual experience with the gun you are trying to talk about. Why would anyone be interested in what you have to say about a 1911 if you don’t know much about 1911s ?
Thank you for watching. This channel is geared toward new gun owners. I share my personal experiences with the guns and gear that I review.
