[QUOTE="JD8, post: 2079957, member: 24"] Yeah, anecdotes are cool stories for sure. By the same token the last RIA I saw, spit its recoil spring and broken plug downrange after 50 rounds. Can't remember the last person I saw with an RIA with any honest wear either..... Can't really speak for what you owned but early RIA slides were extrusions.... highly doubtful it would be a step up from something built in the 80s. Now some people might consider what I'm saying as bashing, but the reality is that if one wants to compare RIAs to custom 1911s then they just don't know any better or don't really shoot that much. Consider what one looks like after a number of rounds..... such as this Baer.... [url]http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=273937[/url] and get back to me... :D I will say this though, a Norinco would put up a better round count than an RIA due to better steel, small parts, and a chrome lined barrel and they WERE dirt cheap.
