Rock Island Armory GI Standard CS .45 ACP Black Parkerized 1911 Pistol

A: In general, no differences on the pistols. The pistols that are currently on the Roster are grand fathered. It's the new requirements that makes getting nearly identical models added to the Roster (which is silly). There can be no change to the pistol not even color or it has to be re-certified. The cost to manufacturers and the hoops to jump through to get pistols on this CA Roster (which is exactly what CA wants) is causing this roster to shrink. Many manufacturers simply don't bother.

A: really no differences the CA DOJ list is a way for CA to restrict what their resident can own and force the manafactures to pay more to CA to be allowed to sell there (Politics and money)

A: HI Trevor, No differences I own the Ca model. It has everything that the other does. It's just California is gradually taking our rights to own firearms. We will never see any newer models either except in revolvers.

A: CA requires the "Loaded Chamber Indicator" (LCI) to be compliant. This pistol does come with a 7rd magazine and not the 6rd listed by Buds. You can buy extra (1911 45ACP 7rd CS) magazines directly from Rock Island/Armscor here : http://armscor.com/parts-accessories/magazines/

A: You can use any 1911 magazine with this pistol including the 10 round mags. The only problem with the longer mags is that you can "over-insert" them which will tie the gun up if you forcefully seat them during a quick reload. Gently seat them and you'll be okay.

A: Yes sir, it is +P rated. Keep in ind one should never feed any pistol a steady diet of +P, all the time, simply because it does cause some extra wear and tear even though the gun is +P rated. .

A: Edgar, yes these guns are safe for use with +P ammo. From the RIA/Armscor FAQ: "Yes all of our guns are +p ammo ready, but please use only when necessary." FAQ Link: https://armscor.com/support-center/faqs/#collapse11

A: Edgar, yes. This Rock Island Pistol is +P Rated. I own several and have been shooting Underwood, Buffalo Bore and Doubletap loads for years with no issues. A heavier recoil spring is a good idea if you plan to shoot lots of +P loads.

A: Leigh, Cali has a long history of firearm suppression by almost any means necessary. Classic State law stepping over Federal Law.

A: Per Armscor/Rock Island's website: True to all Rock Island 1911s, this GI Standard comes with a crisp factory 4- to 6-pound trigger for a great experience right out of the box." Link to their full page on this item here: https://armscor.com/firearms/ria/gi-series/gi-standard-cs-45-acp1/

A: Jerre, this 1911 has a Crisp 4-6 lbs. single action trigger pull Sir. Cheers!

A: According to research, there is a 4-6 pound trigger pull. Since this is California compliant, I have one, but I haven't tested the trigger pull with my trigger pull weight tool. I'm not home right now, otherwise I would test it and give you my findings. But it is a great trigger for what the firearm is worth. It was my pleasure to assist you. RIP Kobe Bryant.
