My Pop just sent me some pics of my #1 all-time favorite pistol in the world, his Colt's Combat Commander. He's retired Airborne and has had it since the early '70s. It was his duty sidearm while he served.
  Several months ago I had an m1911 knife made for him with a matching set of silver-black wood grips for the Colt. He's been in poor health since last September, but I'm happy to say he's turned the corner and finally able to get around to taking the photos. Just thought I'd share...

Picked up a 4" Rock Island Armory MS 1911a1 today...
Been curious about the brand for a while and since I've been needing a mid-sized 1911 in my life I figured I'd give 'em a shot.......so to speak. It's not a true commander length, but it'll do just fine. It's park'd with a set of pretty basic wood grips, but those'll get replaced very soon. I'm thinking about installing an extended beavertail grip safety, an extended thumb safety, a commander style hammer, and a new trigger as well. Enough talk, here are the pics...

L.E.S.~~~~
I SWEAR that I commented on this thread last night. But I don't see my reply....  You have a great 1911 there, or so it looks like. I would shoot the ever-lovin' schidt out of it and confidently CCW that sumbeesh any day of the week. |

^ Haha, you already did bro, over at Remington Owners.
Thanks again brother, and shooting the schidt out of it is exactly what I plan to do. After it's proven, it'll definitely see some CC time... "Remember, your firearm is like your nose. No one else should pick it for you".

Finally got out to the range with the Rock Island MS 1911a1 this morning. Took it out with the new SIG P220 and let a few fly. Only a few 'cause it was so damn cold outside I couldn't feel my fingers and reloading the mags was almost impossible. Still, it shot well. Feeding and extraction were flawless. The trigger is a little spongy compared to my other 1911s, but I must say that I am VERY impressed with this pistol. For an entry level 1911 with a 4" barrel it shot like a champ. Here's one of my best groups at 25yds...
 Just goes to show that you don't have to drop a bundle on a 1911 to get a solid shoot'n pistol. We'll see how she holds up over time, but I am extremely pleased so far... "Remember, your firearm is like your nose. No one else should pick it for you".

Got out and put 250rds through the Spartan this morning. I have to say I'm VERY pleased with its performance. Had zero issues an no failures of any kind. The Spartan locks up tight as a drum and the action is smoothe as silk. The trigger is light and crispas well. Recoil is very minimal which allows for very fast target acquisition on follow-up shots. The adjustable rear sight was dialed in from the start and the fiber optic front post lit up like a laser. I love my .45 1911s, but this 9mm is one helluva fun shooter. Here are two of the best targets of the day... Ten rounds @ 10yds  Thirty rounds @ 25yds

Just installed a new 4140 bar stock steel mainspring housing with 30 LPI checkering and oversized magazine guide on the Spartan V. Also added extended bumper pads to the Checkmates. Reloads are going a lot smoother and faster now...
