The Rock Island Armory Standard GI Series 1911: Good Quality and Performance at an Attractive Price

I have read favorable reviews of the Rock Island Armory GI Series pistol, which is made by Armscor in the Philippines, but I did not have the opportunity to shoot one until recently.  A military spec 1911 with a parkerized finish, it lacks the bells, whistles, and price of many Government Models that are currently on the market. The plain old 1911, as it was designed by John Browning, is a fine pistol with an enviable service record that spans over seventy years and the Rock Island 1911 upholds this distinguished heritage and reputation.
