Don't know if this has been posted or not. A friend told me Rock River was making a polymer framed 1911. Maybe sacrilege to do that, but who knows?

I would buy it. Love my Glocks, Sigs and Kimbers...a couple of RRAs might be a nice edition.

Wonder what the barrel-feet are gonna do to the frame.

Maybe the frame will have steel inserts at critical locations.

Andy, I knew you'd find out!
