    New to the 1911 world

    Ordered a Rock Ultra FS 9mm from Shoot Point Blank last week on May15 and got it yesterday at the local store here in Miami Township, Dayton area. Took it home and cleaned it up. Went today and ran two boxes of Sellier and Bellot ammo through it. Not one malfunction.

    Love the sights and the trigger is absolutely fantastic! I have tried some other 1911's in 45 ACP and 9mm at Point Blank before, but this gun I think is better than some of the range guns they had on hand. Of course, range guns usually don't get cleaned often and don't always cycle ammo very well.

    The clip that came with the gun has no manufacturer markings except the numbered sight holes. I wish I knew who made it because I would buy more of the same. I will probably take the magazine around to some local gun shops to see if anyone recognizes the brand. Included here are two photos.

    Thanks for any advice you can give me on the mags.

    That’s a very unique follower. The only similar ones,that comes to mine are the Metalform Colt Mustang mags (which work in in the Sig P238 and other mustang copies).

    Anyway; glad you like your first 1911. It most likely won’t be your last.

    Yes it is different than most I have seen in the big box stores where the followers are flat. This one is flat underneath with a rounded part above. I took two more photos close up.

    Does it have a spacer in the rear of the tube to make up for 9mm shorter than .38 or .45?
