I have been looking at getting one of these in a 45 . Anyone have info on this gun good or bad I would like to know about it .
Just this past weekend I was talking to a friend who owns one and LOVES it. He was telling me something about Rock buying a Colt factory and the gun being basically a COLT with a different brand.
Any truth to this?
I ran over 2200 rounds through mine before its first cleaning. It never had a single issue.
I have a friend who just bought a Rock Island Armory 1911 compact .380. We took it out to shoot just over a month ago for the first time. He had to send it back for several issues including jamming on feeding and ejecting. . . I guess that is failure to feed, failure to eject. . This happened at least once every magazine. Also, at times, the magazines were very difficult to remove. The slide would not stay in the locked back position after the last round was fired.
He sent it back to manufacturer - I believe it is Armscor and it came back 4 weeks later. We took it out to shoot again this past weekend on Saturday. Same situation, failure to feed, stovepipe jams, magazine sticking. He was not in a good mood. So, he is going to send it back once more.
I liked the gun when it fired. Very accurate and comfortable to hold. Hipefully, they will take care of it this time around.
Now why in the world would you do that? It aint a Hi Point!
