the Baby Rock (I think it's called) in .380. I don't think he's shot it much but likes it so far. It seemed a tad smaller than Melodie's Browning but I forgot to bring it along to compare.

Definitely file this in the FWIW folder.

Anyone have or shot one of these...... (reply)

I've had pretty good luck with them, but never fooled with one in 9mm. I rate the RIA's as good overall as entry level Springfields.

My first fullsize had a short chamber so I mailed them the barrel for reaming or replacement. They took care of it pronto and the gun was flawless for the rest of the time I had it. I've worked on several but it was invariably to cure detrimental user modifications.

dig around the 1911 pages at http://www.thesixgunjournal.net/ and you'll find some stuff on them.

I HAVE SIX 1911 9s AND TWO ARE (reply)

ROCK ISLAND, ONE SINGLE, ONE DOUBLE STACK.ALSO KIMBER, SPRINGFIELD, AND ARMSCOR; NEVER HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THEM. TOTALLY RELIABLE AND SHOOT WELL. JUST GIFTED WITH A 1964 LT WT COMMANDER COLT 9 BUT WEATHER TOO BAD TO SHOOT IT YET.

Anyone have or shot one of these......

Really interested in getting one but have heard mixed comments about RIA pistols and 9mm in a 1911 being unreliable. Wanting one for a range/play gun not serious carry etc, I have Les Baer 1911's for that.

Thanks,
Gunner
