RIA compact vs tactical

I have looked but cant find the difference between the $400 ria compact vs the $533 compact tactical. Someone please school me.

Does anyone have a picture of one of these or even a different compact 1911 vs a glock 19 and or 26? Thanks

The only real difference is the sights. 533 is a little on the high side. Gunbroker has them right now for 450.

Here's the best prices you'll find. Great people to deal with too.

$533 does seem high. I bought my wife's tactical for $490 OTD.

Sights are the biggest difference.

Good prices, everything's backordered according to the site.

Where is a reputable place that has them in stock?

RIA Compact and RIA Compact Tactical

The sights and the trigger are the main differences.
