Having had higher end 1911 I bought a few of the RIA tactical and the plain janes , so far I have had reliability and accuracy with the tactical and if one shops around about a 400-450 price on the tactical . It gets my nod for the choice , feeds all my cast different styles . The Norinco 1911a1 were the best off the shelf I found years ago , but the price is up as others found they were good . Friend has the springfield xdm in 45 acp he loves his , lots of choices .
