Ignore the troll, people.
He just shows up to spew RIA hate whenever someone says something positive about them.

If you want one with an optic though the price jumps pretty significantly into an exclusive neighborhood. Like the same one that Legions, Prodigies and Shadow 2s live in. In fact, if I’m comparing the new AXG Comp Legion and the RIA the Legion is getting the nod without hesitation.

I'll be watching the local Armscor outlet store for when a 5.0 shows up to check it out.
Would be interested only in the standard sights version.

They make 1911's in .45 acp, 9mm, 38 Super and a couple others.
They don't win beauty contests but are solid, economical and reliable in my experience.
I prefer the "Rock" series, and you can't beat the Standards for value.

Rock series is the most well-optioned line of 1911 pistols built in the traditional 70 series design with the addition of next-level upgrades.
