[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 1501758, member: 3655"] The only RIA I have had in for repair was because of a drop, the slide took a hit and was binding. The metal is not quite up to par with American steel but still a lot better than the pre WWII guns. They are not the most friendly guns to be customized. Most "drop in parts" will have to be fit but a little work with a grinder and file will make them work if you don't want to pay a gunsmith, but then they were not made to be customized they were made to be shot just they way they come so get the options you want when you buy the gun. I think that is the only reason they don't have much of a resale value like the big name guns but in all fairness they are an affordable 1911. [/QUOTE]
