I have been looking at 1911 handguns. I had it narrowed down to 2, Rock Island Amory and Remington R1. I purchased the Remington because it has a thinner profile,smoother action and ust felt good in hand.The rock Island was a little bulkier and didnt feel as good in hand but was $300 cheaper. I was told it was a very reliable Pistol? What can yall tell me About Rock Island Armory? I also know they are manufactured in th Phillipines, other than that I dont know much?

I've only "looked" at the Rem, but I have a Rock Island. It's a handful but very pleasant to shoot. I consider it quite reliable and as accurate as my aged, shaky hands can expect. I can keep 3 rounds in a 9" circle at 15 feet.
I really like the RI, but find it cumbersome to carry concealed. Being large myself, I find it difficult to conceal a "lump" that large! (another lump?)
As far as assembly location? I can't answer that.

I can first hand support walt in wi regarding the Ruger. A friend owns one that we have shot extensively and as you would expect from a Ruger, it is durable, accurate, and reliable. Nice features for the money as well. idduckhntr I would love to have a Super so will take you opinion on the RI under advisement. Last night I saw two Pythons go locally at auction for $1500.00 and $1700.00 each. I never got a chance to bid. Ouch!!!
