    Who's Who?

    As seen in other forms I'm a proud owner of an RIA which I understand is owned by Armscor. In the forum description for RIA, it mentioned that Citadel is owned by Armscor. What other companies are owned or affiliated with Armscor? Based on what I've read on the net I assume that Armscor also is affiliated with Chappa? I also believe according to some youtube videos that RIA is one of the largest producer of 1911s. Is that correct?

    Rock Island is not a company, it is a brand name used by Armscor in the U.S. Armscor also makes pistols for other companies, such as Citadel, but Citadel is not owned by Armscor.

    I have no idea who makes 1911s for Chiappa. In fact, other than their horrible .22 "1911" I didn't know they offered a 1911.
