First off, Dadoo, that is a sweet pistol, and you have nothing to be ashamed of with your shooting at 10 yards! You'll love your RIA, I'm sure. There are several of us here on this board who own and love RIA 1911's.

I bought a 5" RIA Tactical from Sporting Arms, and I love it. Functions beautifully. More accurate than I am. All the bells and whistles I wanted in a 1911 with none of the extra stuff I didn't want (no built-in lock like a Taurus, and no firing pin safety). All I have done to it is change out the smooth wood grips for checkered cocobolo and send as many projectiles downrange as I have had the time and money to.

Sporting Arms website lists the compact RIA (3.2"), but they generally don't seem to stock an inventory. When I got my Rock from them, it took them all of 2 or 3 days to get it, which was fine by me. They also had great prices on Wilson 47D mags, which they had in stock. I won't list the price, as this was a year ago, and the price may have changed since then. Sporting Arms is run by great people who are very kind and considerate. And no, I have no affiliation with them, I am just a very satisfied customer.
