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?

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
