Happened to see this pop up on their page...

I know their rifles have a good rep (and I've been pretty happy with mine), but handguns? And of all the companies that might fire off a polymer 1911, I would not have expected the name to be RRA...

Pretty interesting. I love their rifles. Hopefully their pistols live up to their reputation.

Shooting Times gave it a decent review... but the price is a bit high for me to even take it for a test fire... right up there with a Les Baer.

Rock River put out some shit hot NM 1911's back in the day, I have two in the safe right now. They quite building 1911's when the AR15 craze hit, and more than a few have been waiting on them to get back to building pistols.

I think the polymer will do well, a lot of 1911 guys end up carrying other pistols for two main reasons, capacity and weight. Cut the weight and thats have the problem, now if they could just make a double stack thats worth a shit and under $800 and they would own the market.

You guys should make a visit sometime, we have great companies around here that make amazing stuff.
