Have 2 Rock Islands....
1st one is the first I'd ever seen...it was $269. Worked up a very accurate CB load with a 200 gr CB 'n Herco. It will take out empty shotgun hulls at 30 yds most every shot. Second is a target model with a few bells 'n whistles from the factory. After a few 100 rds of 230 gr CB with Herco the groups are getting smaller 'n smaller. We had to do same thing with the plain jane one as well. Completely happy with the Rock Islands, but I still want a Ruger 1911 if the inventory gets to where I can find one.

- I agree 110%: The RUGER SR1911 is probably the best answer -
