We all know, well, most of us know, that the old Rock River guns were great.
Has anyone messed with current production ones? I really like the look of the 1911 Carry 5" that are around on the market. RRA Website.

I bought mine about 5 years ago and I like it. The front strap is a bit aggressive on bare fingers but it doesn’t slip when you have sweating palms. I can’t locate the box but I think that I paid about $1,800 for it new.

ROCK R I V E R (RRA) makes some of the finest 1911's out there.

They definitely fly under the radar, and I think I've read they were still making pistols for the bullseye crowd all these years.
I stupidly sold the ADCO-spec RRA 1911 I had years and years ago. Regretted letting that one go ever since.

I've heard nothing but good.
Wish I wouldn't have ordered one before their price jump. |

I have one in 9mm. It’s pretty tight and shoots good groups. The trigger is clean, but not exactly light. So far, it runs well on several brands of magazines.

I got one a few months back and ran a hundred rounds through it without a hiccup. It ran so well I converted it to a 460 Rowland. Close to 1000 rounds of my own receipt and it appears it functions better than most Rowland conversations.

I have my own qualms about their 2001 spec AR15's, but their 1911's are still great options.
I work about 3 miles from them |

I found my RRA 1911 box and it had the original receipt in the box. I bought the pistol for $1,800 and now it's listed on the RRA website for $2,925.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lilMAC25: Why would I buy a RRA over an Alchemy? In this specific case, because it’s a 6” gun with Aristocrat sights, that should shoot about 1 1/2” groups at 50 yards. For a BBQ gun, there’s no reason to choose RRA over Alchemy. |

Well, I found a real old one (cleveland IL) for $1499. I am excited to see it when it shows up.
