Those Rock Islands are pretty cheap. I wouldn't mind picking one up just to have a 1911 platform. Let me know how it functions!

If you're not left handed, I prefer the right handed saftey instead of an ambi but it's personal preference. Gun is thinner and don't need special grips for right handed saftey.

This is NOT true, they are totally different companies. RIAs are Phillipino 1911 copies made by Armscor.
