WTB- Rock Island Armory Compact Tactical 1911- DELETE

Post by cubbyjg »

I will have to put this "want" on hold for a while. Thanks to everyone for messaging me.


Like the titles says, i am interested in a RIA Compact Tactical 1911. If you have one that you would like to sell, please PM me. I live in Houston. FFL or FTF transactions work for me.

I finally get it. Now I know what the initials RIA stand for. I thought it was a model firearm from Italy? Sometimes I'm dummer than I look? "rlol"

cubbyjg....

Sorry about that one. Just couldn't help myself. Good luck on your search and as well I've heard great things about RIA's, especially now that I know what the initials stand for.

I'm window shopping 1911s myself (just paid Real Estate Taxes .... so window shopping for now)

RIA is one of the Armscor thingies from the Philippines
I think Hi Standard is another Armscor company

I'll try to post a link searched compact 1911 prices 400 and up ... click link and scroll down; you'll see Rock Island Armscor and Rock Island Armory prices starting about $406.00
Here's the link I'm looking at now.

But what I WANT is more like a compact 3" or 3.5" Stainless 10 round .45:

Check out BUDSGUNSHOP used pistols...they got a ton of display guns straight from Para that are like new and very reasonably priced.

What is the "tactical" exactly? I have I think a standard compact. I don't know. Any pictures?

There is a full-sized tactical & a compact version.

The tactical includes "combat" sights instead of the small GI sights. Neither has any dots or other contrast. It also includes an ambi extended safety and lightweight trigger.

On the full-size, it also includes a beavertail grip safety and combat hammer. The compact already has both of those.

Those are the only differences I'm aware of.
