    Don't worry OP, a 1911 is a MANS gun. Not all men can handle them. It's good to know your limitations. My wife can shoot my 1911, but she doesn't really care for it. It's hard for her to shoot with her small girl hands too.
    The definition of SHALL is will or can.
    So SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED would read WILL not CAN not be infringed.

    The frames do take some getting used to being 1/8 inch wider than a normal 1911. I bought the gun smith frame kits and stripped out a couple of my single stacks and hand lapped the slide to the frame. took me a few hours infront of the boob tube with some oil and red buffing compound but I ended up with perfect fits for both my 45 and 38 super. I installed S&A bevertail safeties and their Main spring housing with Mag guide. Makes it seem like you couldnt miss a mag change even if you were throwing the mag from half court.

    I think that 9 rounds from a 1911 will stop ant 9 people I have ever known. Dead guys don't shoot back and bad guys run away from 22s...

    Anybody that thinks a full size 1911 is "shockingly heavy" is obviously an out of shape couch potato gunstore commando.
    Suck it up, buttercup. Drop and give me 50.
    I own 4 - two Colts, a Rock Island Armory, and a Taurus.
    In fact, other than those, the only auto pistols I own are a Colt Model 1903, a Walther P-1 (post war P-38) and a Ruger MkIII.
    If someone GAVE me a Glock, I'd sell it and buy a used S&W or Colt revolver. Or two.

    When I saw Son 2 at 170 lbs bench press 315lbs, that was "schockingly heavy". A 1911 is not.

    How do you like the Rock Island Armory 1911? I have been looking at one, but I am still going to keep my 2 Glocks, and my 2 S&W's, I am looking at the RI next and or another S&W but this one will be a GP100 revolver.

    I never thought the 1911 was heavy I carried one as an issue in the Army and hated giving it up for the M9, saddest day of my career.

    My RIA is a plain-jane GI standard model. No frills, not tactical in any way. It is solid and dependable. I have no qualms whatsoever in recommending it to someone who wants a good 1911A1.
    I have no experience with their advanced models, I am of the belief that John Moses Browning's original design should not be messed with.
    It compares well with my Colts, but most likely would not last a hundred years like they will.

    Thanks I was actually looking at the no frills model, I like the original look just like the one I carried in service.
