Pretty excited I received my first 1911 yesterday. Bought it used on gunbroker. Since I never owned or even shot one I figured I'd go on the cheaper side to see if I really like it. If so I'll upgrade to something a little higher quality.

Nice purchase!! What kind of 1911 is that?

I really like my Glock but can be more accurate with a 1911 due to the trigger. It's not the guns, it's me and my trigger pull which still needs a whole bunch of work. ! ! !

Dry firing a lot helps you get to know your trigger.

Looks like a Rock Island 1911 but not sure.

That is what I am thinking cause of the engraving closest to the muzzle.

Looks great! Can't wait for a range report

It's a rock island armory. I haven't got to shoot it yet. Hoping to get out Sunday and run a few rounds through it. Ive always like the looks of a 1911 so hopefully I enjoy it as much as my glocks. If not my buddy already said he'd buy it from me.

Yep, gotta do that more in the evening instead of boob tube. Work on daylight seeing muzzle flash when I can get to the range which around here is severely limited. Until we get our own ............hoping, hoping.

Front crest doesn't look RIA and with those grips and front strap has a spur hammer. Wish my eyes were better.

I've read that they are not bad 1911 at all for the price so yea, let us know how you like the performance of it.

How old is it. The lettering looked RIA but they evidently changed their crest. Are those aftermarket grips and strap ?

Happy/safe shooting.

I like the polished VR6 better! Jetta or GTI?

 

[Lucian_253]

Sorry didn't see your avatar it's a Corrado, even better!

Sorry at second glance Mk.2 GTI with VR6?

You will like it. I have one in satin stainless . It's one of my favorite guns, and wicked accurate, I was surprised.

I did the same thing. This is my first 1911. I got it about 4 mo. ago. It has about 200 or so rounds through it with no FTF, jams or anything. It is a ATI Titan with the 3" barrel. Like you said,for the price, it was worth a shot. (Yes, pun intended.)

Hey Duece, I have an identical Titan as yours, and yes, very fun gun. I like that it has a bull barrel. Not as "wicked" accurate as my RIA but I would say maybe "sinfully" accurate, especially having a 3" barrel.

You are semi correct mk2 vr6 turbo and the corrado is in the garage

Thanks everyone. I'm not sure how old it is I didn't even think about that. The grips are pachmayrs. I don't care for the grips so I may wind up replacing them with something else
