Used Auto Ordnance or New Rock Island? HELP.

[Pyzik]

I found a used Auto Ordnance at local Shop for $300, and a new Rock Island Armory on the internet for $275+shippin+FFL charge+waiting for it.

Which is the better deal?? This will be my 1st 1911...

Thanks

Rock Island, hands down.

Hmmm...

I am getting the idea that you are going for RIA uh...

LOL

I have one myself and has been VERY reliable out of the box. Granted it is a mil-spec $300 gun, but damn well worth the $$ IMO.
