[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 3628263, member: 14520"] I've become so focused on America I try not to buy anything not made here. And Rock Islands are made in Indonesia. But they do make good 1911s. Theirs a chance you fit all the small pieces into a 1911 without messing with them. And the gun may or may not work reliably. But even if it works it will not perform to the level of a good 1911. And you'll be missing the true reason folks like them. Here's an idea not yet mentioned. Rather than buying a complete pistol and replacing parts. Check out 1911 frame and slice.sets. I've built lots of them and one of the easiest companies to work with is Caspian Arms. They will sell you a slide and frame set that is already fitted together and it can have all of the machining for your favorite sight type done as well as any checkering or serrations and beavertail cuts you want. With this set how can buy all the small parts you want and not waste anything. And. There step by step assembly videos all over Youtube. Oh. And there are three types of beavertail. And just assume they don't interchange. Neither of the two custom styles will just fit a military spec frame with a military standard beavertail. And the two custom beavertails will not directly interchange. Oh but there's more. You can buy a cutting big that assists you to modify your frame from one standard to the other. [/QUOTE]
