The Rock Standard full-size is built in traditional classic 70 series design and delivered with our top quality production and engineering standards. It's chambered in .45ACP with a 5Ó button rifled barrel supported by a full-length guide rod. The smooth, angled, snag-free style allows for a quick draw in fast-need situations. It includes a low profile angled rear sight, a skeletonized hammer and trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop and an ambidextrous safety standard in the Rock series. Finished with a tough, parkerized matte coating and comes with checkered rubber grips. True to all Rock Island 1911s, it comes with a crisp factory 4- to 6-pound trigger, making it a great experience right out of the box.

Arthur

Beverly Hills, FL

The 1911 was shipped promptly and I picked it up at my ffl on the 8th day after ordering which I thought was good service all around, The gun was well protected with heavy oil that I cleaned after disassembly. I shot it today and didn't have any problems using the factory mag. It shot to point of aim at 10 yards as long as I did my part. I'm very happy with the Kygunco service and the price was great. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the Rock Island Armory 1911.

This is my first 1911 and .45 and I love this gun. Has a good kick, smooth trigger. Would have been nice e to have to magazines and bigger capacity, but other than that for the price I have zero complaints. I love going to Ky gun. People there are awesome

This firearm is top quality. I own several other 1911s and have owned more than 20 over the last 15 years. Some were good, some were so-so. Few were a gun I carry everyday. This RIA is. Im very pleased with the performance and kygunco. Nice job.

I bought this just before Christmas and was more than happy with the gun, price shipping time. This is the tactical model with the ambidextrous thumb safety, commander style hammer, Novak style sights, skeletonized trigger and beaver tail grip safety. The pistol has a full length guide rod and has proved to be a great shooter. I havent had a FTF or FTE in 400rds.
