The 1911 is known as one of the greatest designs in firearms history and Rock Island Armory is known for producing affordable variants of the gun. Typically, you find the 1911 chambered in .45 ACP but in the case of the one we’re looking at today it’s chambered in 9mm. There are a few reasons why you might want to break the mold of .45 ACP and switch to 9mm 1911:
- 9mm is the cheaper training option
- More manageable recoil, better for beginners
This model has the fixed front sight with the dovetail rear. It has the wood beveled grips which make for faster reload times. You can find 1911’s which are often 3-4 times the price or higher. Here Rock Island offers a comparable model at a fraction of the cost. Not only are you saving money by shooting 9mm, you’re saving big on the gun itself!
There is a reason so many companies make a 1911 variation, they are accurate and reliable. This model was no different eating through all the Aguila 9mm we could feed it. I personally own one and would recommend this Rock Island version to any beginner who is looking to break into the 1911 platform. For a deeper dive into the Rock Island Armory 1911 variations we have, including ones chambered in .45 ACP, check out our look at them here.
