I have RIA Officers 1911. I had to polish the feed ramp and replace the magazines. I carry it about half of the time, it is the only pistol my wife carries. If your wife has never shot a 1911, make sure she does not limp wrist the RIA, it will not cycle fully.

Dont know yet. Tomorrow is rang day. Should I take an Allen wrench with me? Why does my Ruger not have that screw but has a hole for one?

You don't have an allen wrench in your range bag?

Because its....see above...8/

Some of the first 3.5" models were ...well.. kinda cheap. The newer ones are a little more...refined...8)
Should be fine , they shoot like any other 45......ummmm...pics... ;)

So adjusted the screw to play with it and really didnt see much difference with it in ot out except all the way in and the hammer wouldnt fall at all. Adjusted out just enough so the hammer fell and left it. No one at the range knew anything about this adjustment screw but one guy. Mike at BBs seems pretty knowledgeable with these 1911s Still seems odd that my other 2 1911s have no screw in the trigger but there is a whole where one could go.

unless you know enough to ensure that the sear is not getting pounded to **** by the hammer, you should not be adjusting that from the factory setting.

No I dont know **** about it. That's why I asked.
I will say the factory setting was a very lose screw and it would have fallen out. So there is that.
