First Remington and now...gasp....Ruger

I don't necessarily agree with your forecast of doom for Armscor 1911s regardless of what brand name they're marked with (RIA, Citadel, etc). They have a solid reputation for value and customer support. I bought one under the Charles Daly banner in 2006 (EFS Field model) and it's been solid. So solid that I use it as a platform for a 400 Cor-Bon conversion They're still gonna be nearly a couple hundred less than the street price of the Ruger.
