whats not apparent from this thread is arsmcor has multiple lines their low budget gun is ria gi, don't get itunless you want the simplest 1911 and know how to avoid hammer bite just don't get it. I have one, with 400 dollars in mods. Granted my gun outshoots any gun under 1300 bucks.
for another 60 you can get an ria tac, basically what I have with a replaced by a top end gunsmith the firng control group giving it a perfect trigger (costs about 160 including parts btw) good trigger for a store bought gun, not real good compared to 1911s
for another 60 you can get a good finish, decent sights, and a decent trigger in the armscor citadel. look on
Guns - Online Gun Auction - Guns for Sale at GunBroker.com for pricing its 380 for the gi, 440 for the ria tac, and 480 or less for the citadel. Definitely worth the extra money. UPDATE stuffs cheaper 345 for the gi, 435 for the tac and 450 for the citadel, unless you hate front serrations get the citadel
