As my nearest allies use the M1911A1 as one of their standard handguns, I'm going RIA.
Help:

1. Do the ten shot-capacity mags feed reliably in this gun? Are there any of them that have base extension place(to make the gun handles good with said mag)come with said mag? What brands of said mag are the best?

2. Would manually feeding cartridges through RIA 1911A1, do the same as sanding the magazine well? Could said practice damage the gun?

3. What is the cheapest quality SD ammo? Magtech or Lancer, any good?

4. Does anybody make Glock-style fixed sights, for RIA 1911A1?

5. Kydex a good hoster for 1911?

6. What Tactical vest can you carry a 1911A1 cocked, but with the safety engaged; safely?

Thank you in advance.

1. Never found a 10 round 1911 mag that I can trust. Wilson 7 or 8 round mags work great.
2. Huh?
3. Winchester 100 round Value Pack at Wal-Mart.
4. Tons of sight options. Check out Brownells.com
5. Depends on which one you get. The good stuff is very good, the cheap stuff isn't so good.
6. Don't know, our body armor is issued, and doesn't have an attachment point for a holster.

P.S. PUGS RULE!!!!

1- I've got several Wilson 10 rounders, said magazines work fine for me. Said magazines to not have said plastic things on bottom. I don't see how these would make said gun "handle" better.

2- If you mean the feed ramp, No.

3- ?? Cor-Bon, Speer, Hydra-Shocks, the usual suscpects. Whatever functions in said gun.

4- There are probably more parts available for the 1911 than any other gun on the planet. You should be able to find something that will work for you, maybe not the white "U" but there are plenty of choices.

5- Yup.

6- Sorry, I have to leave my vest at the mall. Not sure what kind it is. :)

7- (unsolicited ) buy a Springfield Mil-Spec instead.
