It's a really long advertisement for a $400.00 import. There are some valid points about vanity made though.

My Colt Combat Commander that I bought in the late 70's that cost $320 then, still is a good shooter, I just shot it last Sunday. But I noticed when shooting it, I must be getting very old, first time my wrist hurt after shooting that commander. My fault, I starting shooting it one handed, for some reason, my 1911's just feel very good shooting with one hand.

SGT (Join to see) Same here. One handed is like the gun is part of my arm.

There's is nothing inherently bad about a "cheap" 1911 that is built to specs. I would have no problems in carrying a RIA .45, Taurus, the Auto-Ordinance, or the Springfield Mil-Spec, all are good guns.

While working for a very expericiend gunsmith in Spokane, I was taught one major rule:
There is no such thing as a "good" cheap gun.
We always councilled our customers to buy the best they could afford. As Jim (the gunsmith) would say; Pay me now or pay me later.

Well the Rock Island was cheap and after thousands of rounds I sold it. I regret doing so. It was dependable, accurate and fun to shoot.
