I have been looking at buying a RIA 1911 from Sarco or Centerfire and wonder if anyone has an opinion on them. Centerfire seems to ship handguns for $10. I couldn't find a price from Sarco.

Thanks

Centerfire - aok.

Sarco - made a lot of $$
over the years and have
become complacent with
Customer Service.

i just ordered a p6/ p225 from centerfire. It was back ordered took just ovber a month to come, mint inside, heavy holster wear which i expected. Price $259. I would order from them again based on this first experience. I think impact or AIM sells RIA also. You may want to check out those guys.

If you are ordering a new in box RIA i dont see how centerfire or sarco for that matter, could mess up, short of selling you a gun they dont have on hand and making you wait.

SARCO is good, in general. They've been in business a long time with a lot of volume. I agree with einheit 13. They kinda screwed me,,but it was on a small part. I ordered a part. Two days later they let me know it was backordered. In todays marketplace, that's not acceptable, IMHO.
