.45 ACP Rock Island Arsenal Colt Commander 1911 copy, gave 440.00 plus tax, i bought it for my dad for fathers day, i bought him the fitted holster also for 15 bucks, now i just got to get him signed up for CC.....We looked at the regular 1911 in .38 Super and .45 ACP, he really wanted the .38 Super but ammo is alot harder to come by than .45 ACP, plus he wanted the smaller Commander anyways so he decided on this one instead......He wants some Birds Eye Maple grips inscribed with the USMC's shield and my initials......i found a place online that will custom make them in about any type of wood for less than 100 bucks.....

 

sweet nice gift , ill get my dad some golf *****

 

ive never really had the money to get him a good fathers day gift and since he turned 50 this year i figured he deserved something nice, plus it was less than 500 bucks for everything including the ammo so i cant be mad about the price either, considering they were 100 cheaper than anyone else....

 

i want one, where did ya get it?

 

you will love that gun. i have the RIA 1911A1 fullsize. it is my everyday carry gun. looks just like that, parkerized and all. i actually prefer the Fobus paddle holsters as i use one for my S&W SW40VGE and SW40VE that i sometimes carry. the 1911 is slimmer then the smiths but it is heavier.

Logan, go ahead and get an extended Beaver tail Grip safety for that thing. i am about to put one on mine cause i am tired of the stock one pokin me in the side and pinching my fat between the hammer and safety. it is money well spent.

 

Rock Island Arsenal was bought out by somebody and right now they are on back order, i got mine on clearance, so you can look at giving another 75 to 100 for one......


my dad found his grips last night with the USMC emblem on them, i think hes going to have my initials done sometime this week......

 

thats an awesome fathers day gift I gave my old man some money to get a new helmet for his street bike one day if I ever have kids they can buy me guns if they are still legal by then

 

yes we looked at the A1's in .38 Super and .45 ACP but he liked the shorter, lighter commander.......i am going to buy one of the A1's in .45 when i get back from over here to carry.......dad is getting the beavertail.....

 

very nice. my dad has a colt commander. Supposedly its great but I'm not too impressed. Definitely good price on a 1911 and I bet its way smoother.

Very nice gift. I got my dad a freaking netflix subscription.

 

see this is why im the favorite son.....i pay his bills, buy him guns, buy him trucks and cars to drive and he is going to give me everything of his in return......
