RIA 1911's

[Mercenary]

How's the accuracy of the RIA's?

Would spending a little more for a Springfield GI, Remington, Para, or Ruger yield better accuracy?

mine have had above average accuracy and exceptional reliable. I suspect that the accuracy was related to the fact that they were new as opposed to the 40 year old USGI and systema colts I was comparing them to.

Posts: 35 I have a RIA CS with nightsights and a Hogue Wraparound Grip.

I had some minor (MINOR) feeding issues when I first purchased this gun used a while back. It would not feed hollowpoint ammo reliable enough to justify as a carry weapon.

So, I got out the magnifier, looked at the gun to see slight ridges in the feed ramp. About 10 to 15 mins. with a polishing tip on the dremmel and voila! Feeds everything.

I have run over 3 thousand rounds of ammo (Tula, UMC, Winchester and Federal) as well as 500 rounds of winchester PDx1 and Hornady Critical Defense Hollow points with NO FAILURES!

I'll try polishing mine a little longer, again. Very nice pistol but just won't feed any HPs.
