WTS/WTT: NIB Rock Island Armory 1911-A1CS

[andrewheath]

Cash Price $450 firm for everything.
Trade interests: Commander Sized 1911 or a Glock 30SF or 21SF OD would be great

PM me if you'd like to talk a deal.
I'm in Danville so west side of Indy would be best.

I need something with a little more room on the grip. Big hands and what not.
After I bought it, I cleaned it up, oiled it, holstered it, and set it aside in my safe and thats where it has been sitting since.

What's included:
1x NIB Rock Island Armory 1911-A1 Compact Slide - It's an officer style 1911
Box, stock magazine, warranty info all that jazz that came with it included.
2x New Chip McCormick Match Grade Officers 7rnd magazines w/ Base Pads installed.

What about that RIA makes it a 1911-A1? Looks like a 1911 to me. Nice looking gun though.

Really?

look up a 1911 compared to a 1911a1

this is really neither with the beavertail, commander style hammer, lowered and flared ejection port

looks nice, but just picked up a colt officers model

It's engraved as such on the frame of the firearm and notated on the box as such. It may not be an a1 by histories standards but as that's what rock Island calls it, gives the necessary info for a potential purchaser to do a bit of research on this particular model firearm by calling it by it's correct given name.

1911 to 1924=M1911.....1924 to present=M1911A1....

In 1924, the following modifications were made to the M1911 and the redesignation to M1911A1 was effected. A shorter trigger, cutouts in the frame behind the trigger, an arched mainspring housing, a longer grip safety spur (to prevent hammer bite), a wider front sight, a shorter spur on the hammer, and simplified grip checkering.
