Hello all. New to the forum here. Here's a pic of my RIA 1911 ROCK Ultra FS HC - 10mm. I’ve had it for over a year and have put about 1,000 through it. Love shooting it but didn't care much for the black parkerized finish. I didn’t want to spend too much money on it so instead of buying and replacing parts I just removed certain parts, removed the parkerization from it and nickel plated them. The only parts I replaced were the Black G10 grips with Grey Black Double Stack grips.

Picked this up yesterday afternoon.

Rock Island 1911 FS .45 ACP Patriot Brown Ceracoat.



Walked down to my range this afternoon and rung it out a little. I put 150 rds through it with a mixed bag of magazines, Kimber 7 round, ACT 8 round(factory mag) and Chip McCormick 8 round. I shot mostly handloads with a mix of copper plated lead and my own hard cast bullets as well as a couple mags of my preferred JHP carry ammo.
I experienced zero malfunctions

Fit and finish is very good for a pistol in this price range, a little better than the 2 older RIA 1911s I have. My only complaint, and it's nit picking some, is that the G10 grips are a little bit on the aggressive side for my soft hands. I will likely hit them very lightly with some 600 grit sand paper just to take a little of the bite out of them.

You can see some bare metal on the thumb safety from me reshaping it to take the sharp edges off. The one on the right side of the gun would cut into the knuckle of my firing hand. Got some blackening goo from the 'net but haven't figured out how to make the stuff stay on yet. I may have to have someone black phos them for me. Polished the barrel, the lug and put a GI RSA in it.
Settled on the stock wood grips as they seem to be perfect and I like the understated look of them.

PS: Yes, that's my idiot scratch on it. : (

Thought I'd finally get around to posting some photo's. My RIA Target model as I bought it and as I used it with a NightHawk Marvel conversion. Trigger work by Rick Hebert http://www.rickhebert.com. Nice shooting pistol in either format.
