Nice, I just traded my 92fs for a rock island 1911.
My first pistol was a 1911. I still have it, a Colt Commander.
I bought it new back in the 70's.
Has/had a satin nickel finish. (I say had, because it's pitting badly)
I know I want to get it refinished, and I'm leaning towards the Robar finish.
What I can't decide, if I want to put better sights on it. Those old 'combat' sights are tiny.
Have you had a chance to put any rounds through it yet?
Everything I've heard, about those Rock Islands is that they are fairly well made.
Did you get a standard G.I. model, or one of their fancy ones?
