Description
The M-1911 GI standard is great representation of the original US GI combat issue 1911 and is chambered in 10mm and built with our exacting engineering standards. Fixed, Low Profile Sights and traditional smooth slim design are perfect for quick pull holster use. Finished with a tough parkerized matte coating and comes with a checkered rubber grips. The 5" barrel offers a balanced weight to assist with the accuracy and recoil that made the original 1911 design famous. True to all Rock Island 1911s, the GI standard comes with a crisp factory 4- to 6-pound trigger, making it a great experience right out of the box.

1) Burs left from machining inside and out. One bur in the frame was stout enough to keep the sear spring from setting in its retention slot properly. The specification given on Ordnance Department drawings of the M1911 A1 Pistol for edge breaking is “ALL EDGES SHALL BE BROKEN .005” +.010” UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED”. In other words, every edge on and in this pistol should have a .005” to.015” radius or chamfer except for a few particular edges that need to be left sharp and some others that need to have a larger chamfer or radius, all of which are specifically detailed in the drawings. This was not done on most edges inside and on a few edges on the outside of this pistol. Sorry to run on about this, but as a CNC Machine Operator (and trained gunsmith) who primarily makes gun parts for a living, it bothers me quite a lot.
2) The trigger bow was misshapen, would not allow free insertion and free release of the magazine, and had the most take up I have ever seen in a 1911 style pistol.
3) The magazine catch was poorly fitted and interfered with free insertion and free release of the magazine.
4) The rifled bore is parkerized.
5) The hammer had improper radii of the cocking step and half cock notch. If left uncorrected this would have caused the sear to be battered during firing, and would have eventually led to sear failure.
6) The feed ramp had a ridge running up its center and was poorly polished. If that wasn’t bad enough the lower edge of the ramp protruded far enough into the magazine well and was sharp enough to shear a bit of copper and lead off of the meplat as rounds came to the top of the magazine.
7) The detent spot on the slide stop was excessively shallow and slightly mislocated. The slide stop also protruded to far into the magazine well and had a rough surface finish on the faces exposed to the mouth of the magazine, which caused it to occasionally be tripped by a round coming to the top of the magazine, locking the slide to the rear with rounds remaining in the magazine.
8) Sharp edges were hard on brass causing excessive brass debris in the action. Also not good for handloaders that reuse brass, not that they’ll find much of it as far as this thing throws it.
9) Rough machined surface and burs on the extractor made it extremely difficult to remove the extractor.
10) Nearly all components are machined from castings, or are injection molded. Which is to be expected in a sub $1,000 1911 style pistol.
In summary, these pistols are made as cheaply as possible. It seems that they are thrown together as quickly as possible by marginally trained technicians, a brief functions check and test fire are performed and they are boxed and shipped. There is no special attention given to ensure they are reliable, accurate, or even that they are fitted together well enough to deliver the service life that the components might yield if assembled by a reasonably able smith. Some of them shoot decently out of the box, some of them do not. In either case service life longevity may be an issue if you shoot as much as you should in order to develop and maintain your pistol marksmanship skills. To be fair, I have never seen a production run pistol of any brand that couldn’t use a little polishing here or there and if you shoot much they‘ll all need a rework at some point. The real downside to this pistol is that the frame and slide probably aren’t of a quality that they can adjusted for a proper fit if they are sloppy to begin with, or later down the road when the pistol is due for a rebuild.
