Rock Island Armory 1911 Magazines?
I just got a Rock Island 1911 A1 and I need to get additional magazines. Any owners out there have something they like in their RIA's?

Re: Rock Island Armory 1911 Magazines?
I've never had any trouble with the mags that came with my RIAs.
With that in mind, they are available from http://www.advancedtactical.com/ who just happens to be the importer for Armscor (RIA).
I've also used Kimber & Wilson mags without problems, but they're a lot more expensive.

Mine (a Compact model) came with one ACT-MAG (a.k.a. Novak) magazine and I have been happy enough with it that I bought two more (as yet unused) at the last Pasadena gun show. But I haven't seen ACT-MAGs for sale at any of the local retail shops.

Seems like the Chip McCormack magazines are very popular...leaning towards those right now.
Thanks for the replies.

I have used the Kimber mags also without any issues.

Should have sent them to me for "disposal". I have 2 Rocks and while I have wilson mags for both, both still have their novak mags and they work for me just as well as the wilsons do.jmoney wrote:I ejected mine over the trashcan in the store when i bought my RIA
