Thinking of picking up a Rock Island, I called up one of my LGS and asked if they carry them. Said they carry them in the $460 range. Being as to how this would be my first 1911 I like to stick to the cheap end before I go paying an arm and a leg for one. Before anyone asks yes I'll make sure it's a .45 ACP.

Couple of questions though. Any issues y'all know about I should watch out for?

What's a GOOD source for grips? I want to find one with an ace of spades it. (in honor of our new president)

What kind of mags do you recommend? Would like to have a few extras (read want several for more shooting time/less reloading time)

Last one. Why have I not bought one sooner?

Wouldn't those grips pay tribute to our last President?? Just Sayin'.
