I have a RIA GI and its a great 1911. A well made 1911 from the Philippines. Even the low end Springfields are made in Brazil. The tactical has a lot of improvements over the GI. I have about 10k rounds through mine with no problems. The one suggestion I would make is get some good magazines (they are not clips!) My RIA came with Novak mags and they don't always feed my reloads or HP properly. Get some Wilson or Chip McCormick Power mags and you will be GTG!
Also learn how to properly strip a 1911, so you don't get the "idiot" mark!
Mine and what she went through in the first month or so!
Also a CMC Power mag 10rd
Idiot mark!
