I have a new toy!

[texasm203]

A brand new-to-me RIA 1911. I have no idea what model... but it's a 5" government frame. I bought it off my company's weapons instructor. Here's what I know about it so far:

- Full length Guide Rod (after market)
- Very little blemishes in the finish
- Extended beaver tail (after market)
- Pachmyer (?) wrap around grips
- 15 lb recoil srping
- 4 lb trigger job that breaks like a fine wine glass.

Obviously, this being my first 1911, I have a couple questions. My primary purpose in purchasing this particular boom boom stick was for CCW. I like my XD, but this has a much slimmer profile. So, I've been looking for holsters. Anybody know somebody that makes a good IWB, open top holster with a hammer guard (for my love handles)?


Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the pictures.....





























Are not available due to the lack of a working camera!!!

Congrats on a very good 1911 for the money.

a very nice 1911 indeed had one myself after switching to kimber pro mags(somehow got a cheapie colt mag) I had absolutly no troubles with mine it ate every type of ammo i could find. at the time i sold it to help finace my move i had nearly 5000 rnds through it all stock and it still shot as great if not a bit better than it did new. as far as holsters check out PISTOLGEAR | YOUR ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL THINGS PISTOL and look up their holsters. i've hear the leather don hume IWB holster is actually quite comfortable for only about 20-30 bucks. congrats on the new pistol.
