This gun was my 10mm gateway drug! It was so amazing with the 10mm at a great price I just had to delve deeper into the world of 1911' and 10mm, later adding a TRP and then a custom bobtail commander all in 10mm. I would hands down recommend this to anyone interrsted in the platform and cartridge.
That’s awesome Alexander! The bobtail sounds sweet. Thank you for sharing and cheers!
I want a Bobcut 1911 by Metro Arms in 10mm.. The polished look is just rad!
Mine was a Cmmg banshee then a Tanfoglio defiant stock in 10mm both are amazing guns in 10mm
Looks like your first round hit the first target with such force, it knocked it off the carrier! Sweet gun, great video as always.
Hard hitting for sure Mohawk! Very fun to shoot. Thank you and cheers!
KS, thanks for another great review! This one has been on my radar for a while now. Might be time to pull the trigger on the tac ultra! Pun intended!
Thank you Kevin! It’s a hell of a shooter brother. Keep. Me posted if you pull the trigger and cheers!
I've seen these online in the mid 500''s. Thanks for the great video.
Wow! That’s a crazy good deal for this. Thank you for sharing and cheers Mio!
I have one of these, love it and as the video says - a great firearm at a great price....accurate, never a feed problem, fun to shot..
Great video KS. I have had tremendous success with both RIA and Citadel firearms. I don't believe in a firearm being flawless in functionality, what impresses me more is hearing and seeing that the malfunction, no matter the cause, was quickly and easily resolved to bring the firearm back into service.
Thank you Larry! I’m glad it was able to get back in the game easily. I think it was a bad round. Cheers brother!
I have the same RIA 1911 mod 51914,Awesome gun👍.
I loved working on this gun from out of the box to make it my own.
1. Filed and sanded all the sharp and pointed edges in and around the mag well entrance for easy placement of the magazines.
2. Filed and sanded the breach face area b/c of scarring of the brass.
3. Adjusted the trigger bow and sanded the track for smoother movement.
4. Removed the parkerized finish from the bull barrel and the mag well,sanded and highly polished both for the bright shine.
5. Replace the stock hammer and hammer strut,trigger,sear and the firing pin stop with all Stainless Steel Combat Wilson Parts.
A. After shooting at the range or else where,I remove and clean the carbon from the gun with "mobil 1- ATF". The smell is bad but it IS the best thing out there for cleaning.
B. To lube the gun inside and out,I use "Mobil 1 - motor oil".After lubing for the parkerized surface to soak,I wipe off the access with a micro fiber rag, I then use "Lucas red tacky" to lubricate the slide that reduces the ware of the metal and helps protect the surface of the metal.
I have done this the same way for decades,my guns continue to look great and keeps on ticking...👍😎🇺🇸.
I also have a Sig P320 40 cal.,I clean and lubricate it the same way.
Just a note, RIA also produces the Rock Ultra 10mm in a high-capacity version. It has a sixteen round double stack magazine and of course, is just that much more fun.
How much wider does the grip feel? I wear size large gloves. My G17 feels large, I prefer the G43x. I've shot single stack 1911's and love them. Never shot a double stack 1911.
I've the 17 , and a double stack ria 22tcm 9mm combo, same grip size as the 10mm , I'm saving back for the double stack 10mm with the 6 inch barrel, maybe the 7 inch barrel. I'm more comfortable with the oldschool 1911 45 government model, but I can handle the double stack in both , These days, might need the double stack more than, oldschool look . Lot of fools getting shot breaking in on homeowners at home . 3to 4 bad guys at once , and a driver in a car in the driveway.
Illegal in NYS though. I hate the gov.
16rd 1911 you say???!!!
@@cuntpuncherino it's a 2011, and the 6 inch barrel it's called "The big rock"
Great job with this video. I'm looking at the version without the tac rail now and probably make the purchase.....*subscribed*
The full 1CM!!! I live seeing 10mm pistols reviewed.
The Rock Island offerings in 10mm are extensive, so it is good to see some of them reviewed.
They really are awesome to shoot King! RIA does have a good catalog of options. Thank you and cheers!
Love the 10mms. My first 10mm was the Bren 10. Wish I would have kept that one lol. I've had a Dan Wesson Valor for some time now and a smith and wesson 610 for years as well. I've had glock 20s in the past, bit do not currently have a glock in 10mm now. Nice looking gun from RIA. Nice review, and now you've made me want to shoot my 10mms. I'll throwem in the bag when I go shoot tomorrow.
That Bren sounds amazing. I cant blame you for wanting it back! Sunday is definitely a good day for some 10mm E. Thank you and cheers!
I have the other model you bought out and it has been flawless. 10mm is pretty hearty, the meek and most ladies can’t handle it. I do like the RIA better than my G20. Rock on buddy. Good work
Great to hear about it Jesse! Looking forward to working with that model. Thank you and cheers!
KSGunguy.... The paint job on that Glock slide is beautifui.
Thank you very much Richard! Zaffari did a great job with it indeed. Cheers!
My first experience with 10mm was with a Glock. It was not a good experience. However, I’m thinking that I need to give 10mm a second chance. Thanks for another well done video KS!
I definitely recommend trying on in a 1911 platform MD. Very fun to shoot! Thank you and cheers!
Awesome 10mm KS. Also thanks for showing thesis 1911 10mm's Sir.
My pleasure Jerry and it’s a ton of fun for sure brother. Thank you and cheers!
You had me hooked at 10mm.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
RIA seems to make some pretty good budget pistols.....Thanks for the info....Good stuff....
They really do Scott! Worth checking out for sure. Thank you and cheers as always!
Nice Review Brother! Carry on
Thanks Big J! Cheers brother!
Nice! 10mm is a great round especially full power loads.
I agree Youngguns! Thank you and cheers brother!
I bought the one without the rail last yr. I love it. Only issue I had was the factory mag didn't pop out easy when released. It's the mag tho I bought some Wilson combat 9 rd mags and they work flawlessly and hold an extra rd.
Glad the mag issue was worked out! They are great shooters for sure. Thank you and cheers!
I have the single stack Rock Island 10mm with factory FDE cerakote finish. After being broken in, it is really accurate with reloaded ammo using Hornady 155 gr XTP bullets. Overall a very fun pistol to shoot.
That g34 looks awesome
Thanks brother!
Great Review, No 10mm's yet but I do have a RIA Tac Ultra CS 45 that is a real shooter...Heavy but reliable and accurate!
Thank you! That 45 sounds awesome and I do agree about accuracy and reliability of RIA. Cheers!
As always nice review video Sir 👍👍👍....Hope LWRCI will make their SMG in 10mm also .....
Thank you Jimmy! An LWRCI would be awesome in 10mm. Cheers!
Awesome video!!! Just got this gun. Can't wait to shoot it. Just need to buy more mags
I have a Rock Island A1 FS in Patriot Brown. Smooth shooting gun, and accurate. I haven’t had a single problem with it. I’ve been wanting to try out a 10mm.
That’s awesome! I recommend trying a 10mm. Crazy fun to shoot. Thank you and cheers!
I bought new RIA 10mm FS Tact in July. NonStop FTF. Three times returned to factory for this problem. Five different manufacturers of ammo. RIA replaced with a new gun in November. Unbelievably the second guns FTF and the grips loosened up inside 100 rounds. This gun is most effective when dropped in a sock and swung like a club.
1911's with a full rail look AWESOME :) Half-length rails just don't look right, unless there is something hanging off of them ;)
Love my. My wife loves shooting it too. I guess I'm buying here one for Christmas
Sweet gun and the 9 mm version is on my list. One thing though..as you fire you release your grip with each shot which then forces some to have to refocus on the front sight and target. I’m unsure if you’re aware you’re even doing this but a consistent and steady grip is requires for maximum accuracy along with sight picture and breath control. Great videos keep them coming
The 9mm is awesome. I discuss in detail why my hand comes off the gun. Thank you and cheers!
Had one of these exact models. It’s a solid pistol although mine had some issues from 0-500 rounds.
I don’t like to send things back so I ran 500 rounds through it in a few hours violently and she cleared up. Pretty awesome all around but I traded it away. Would buy another one.
Glad it cleared up! Thank you for sharing and cheers!
ANY 1911 break in:
1. Break down, clean and lube pistol with oil (not grease). Reassemble. You want the parts to wear into each other. Make sure to get into the rails well with q-tips
2. Grip pistol normally, hand across top, cycle by hand 200 times (magazine NOT in gun)
3. Breakdown, clean, and lube with oil. Get into the rails well with q-tips. You'll probably notice alot of black on qtips, even with stainless guns . Microscopic wear /parts mating.
4. Hand cycle for another 200-300 times.
5. Breakdown, clean well , and lube.
6. Should feel a lot smoother. Take to range.
@@Concerned502 i do almost exact same with all firearms, no matter 1911 or revolver or AR or lever gun or bolt. clean heavily, lube, dry run it a ton, lube again, go shoot
Now That's a "Sweet" and "Mean" Looking Firearm !!! "Bad Mama Jama" ....😎👍👍 Great Stuff KS
Thanks Steven! It’s a tank for sure brother. Cheers!
Look awesome beautiful
Great review
awesome 10mm got mine used because the adjustable sight would not hold zero put a fixed sight on love it enjoy
Buying one for sure
Another awesome review! The only thing I prefer 25 LPI checkering on the front of the grip frame rather than those silly useless lines.
Thanks brother! I do agree about the front checkering versus lines. Other than that, this thing is ready to rock. Cheers!
I know that you're not a big 1911 guy, but have you ever had any experience with the 1911 Snake Strap? I have one riding on my .45 makes quite a difference.
@@larryballard5141 Snake Strap is pretty cool! Both my 1911's have the 25 LPI checkering already. Might be nice to add to my Colt 1991 A-1 but it's more of a beater. Thanks!
In Indiana you can actually hunt with 10mm with 5" barrel.
Love the 10 MM round
Me too brother! Thank you and cheers!
10mm fanboy here. 1911 fanboy.I have a SA TRP 10mm, Ruger SR1911 10mm, Glock 20, and my favorite concealed carry is a G29 with Xgrips...10mm. Several other 1911's in .45, .40, 9mm, and 38 Super.
However...given the size of the 1911 10mm platform, it is a big downside to me that capacity is fairly low. I got a Tanfoglio Witness Match 10mm, comparable size and weight...14+1. I carry the Witness Match in the woods more than any other 10mm. Also carry it concealed here in winter, since we are parka weather 4 months a year.
I kept a couple 10mm 1911's, including the first 10mm 1911 RIA released, but given the much higher capacity in similar size platforms, alas! Traded most of the 10mm 1911's to fund better guns.
I dont have the 10mm yet but I do have a RIA milspec in .45 and I love it. Currently saving up for the 10
I have three Rock Island 1911s from the Ultra FS series, in 9 mm, .45 Auto and 10 mm. None are the TAC models, but share all the same features without the accessory rail. Only the 10 mm models have the bull barrel. I started off with the 10 mm model, then decided that my life would not be complete without the other two. All are enjoyable to shoot and have been trouble-free.
Out of curiosity why did you buy three frames when you could just swap barrels/slide onto the same frame? I know the 9mm and 10mm mags interchange in the frame, although for functionality it's better to go from the 10 to the 9 or you'll get light primer strikes.
I haven't tested the .45 mags in my 10 to be fair but I think they're the same minus feed lips
Edit: I totally didn't realize till just yet that you didn't specify if it was doublestack. Which mine is. Idk about the standard platform mags
@@jackhall290 That's not the way I work at all. I don't swap parts or use conversion barrels for the sake of additional calibers or options. I just buy another gun. I may upgrade grips sometimes, but in the case of the Ultra FS models, I liked the G10 grips so I kept them. Sorry Jack, I almost forgot to address the frame and magazine question. The 9mm and 10mm models feature a ramped barrel, while the ramp for the .45 is machined into the frame. In addition, the frame-mounted ejectors are tuned slightly different due to the different cartridge diameters; 9, 10 and 11.4mm, so frames aren't universal. Now magazines are a different story. I have 1911s in .22, 9mm, 10mm, .45. As far as "fit" is concerned, one magazine will fit all, but that doesn't mean they're universal. Not only are cartridge diameters different, so are cartridge lengths. 10mm "can" work in a .45 magazine, depending on feed lips, but not the other way around. "Can" and "should" are also not universal.
Loved the Rock Islands I've shot. Have yet to go buy one. For comparison I'd have pulled out one of your CZ 75s as style & size is closer. I know I've already been eyeing the Rock Island VR80 Shotgun, but might have to find my Springfield 1911 & Colt Government a 3rd party companion.
You’re right about the CZs. I was struggling for a good comparison with this one. Lesson learned. I do think the RIA will be a good fit with the collection Ty. Thank you and cheers brother!
Nice looking pistol
Thank you Trees! Cheers brother!
This was my very first side arm purchase and i love it, whenever i get it out on range days all my buddies are always jealous, just having a hard time finding a holster i like for it with that full pic rail, any suggestions? Would like something in a drop leg/ low ride style
I had an Uncle Mike's shoulder holster for my RIA Tac Ultra High Cap with 6" barrel and slide, just sid a search on midway usa for this exact pistol on there and found 40 that'll work for it if that helps
KS I have shot numerous RIA 1911 in
.45 acp but never one in 10mm. My last experience with a 10mm steel frame was a S&W from the late 1980's. I used to have a Glock 29 10mm and it was an OK pistol but I will say that 10mm in a 1911 style pistol is definitely a bit more comfortable shooting than the Glock.
I have nothing bad to say about RIA they make a well equipped 1911 for a more than reasonable price. Truthfully if you are looking for a 1911 on a budget I feel that they are the best budget friendly 1911 on the market. They do not skimp on quality or functionality to be able to offer an affordable firearm. I have definitely shot much worse brands of budget friendly 1911's like a Star or 1970's Llama they were so unreliable it wasn't funny. The thing is that manufacturing technologies have advanced so much and the 1911 design has always been very popular so it goes without saying that even lower tier companies are making very reliable offerings these days. The days of choices being limited to Springfield, Colt, or Browning are long gone. The funny thing is that almost every large pistol manufacturer makes a 1911 anymore and there are custom shops that make some really sweet hand fit high end models for those that are discerning collectors.
One day I will have every pistol I have ever dreamed of and one of these RIA 10mm 1911's in 4.25" will definitely be on the list of must haves as 10mm is probably one of the best rounds for getting the blood pumping it is a fast hard hitting slug that is extremely accurate what is not to love?
Very well said on RIA quality and I do agree that the 1911 format for 10mm seems to go well together. I remember the Llama! Brings back memories. There’s always room in the collection for an RIA. Thank you and cheers brother!
This gun is covered in want as far as I am concerned. 🤤😉🖖🏼 I have a 45ACP RIA and I love it.
That Glock is badass did you customize it yourself ? I love that and need to know how I can get one 😂
Looks like a good gun to shoot 👍
Indeed it is Jesse! Thank you and cheers!
Indeed it is Jesse! Thank you and cheers!
Really nice pair of firearms. Been wrestling with getting a 10mm.
I recommend the 10 mm round I like my Glock 29
@@keithgregory7937 Nice, my friend carry the G29 as his EDC. I liked shooting it.
Thanks Keanon! They are a ton of fun brother. Cheers!
Right on Keith!
These are nice, but I think I'm gonna pass for the Glock 20, instead. 15 rounds over 8. And its a lil cheaper. Thanks for the share!
Dang... I know it's been out a long time, but I'm just getting in on 10mm... Great gun for mountain tracking, also considering their 2011 version at 16+1 cap...hard to beat that package, but the weight could be a factor...
When shooting this hand cannon I find that some isometric pressure on the grip will enable you to keep your weak side hand in place on the pistol.
Hi, Great review I'm sold, now to find one in stock somewhere! I live in Overland Park and am familiar with Centerfire. Do you know anyone local that does trigger work on CZ's? Appreciate the reviews, keep it up! Best, Jeff
One role for which a 10mm Auto is ideally suited is as a woods carry gun. An auto, like a 1911 or Glock, in 10mm, when properly loaded, can provide enough power for bear and cougar, while providing additional capacity for the true apex wood's predator, man. They are also much easier to put a light on that a large caliber revolver. A light is important, because many predators are nocturnal. I love the 10mm Auto as a do it all cartridge. My Glock 20 has been my constant companion for a decade and a half now, my shadow, trusted implicitly. I like Underwood's 200 gr XTP load for all around carry, though I will go with a 200 gr hardcast some times in grizzly country. I've been looking at these RIA for a while now, just beautiful guns with loads of features at 1/3 the price of many competing 10mm 1911s.
I was going to ask, have you used full power ammunition in it, and do you know how heavy the recoil spring is?
Nice!
A nice pistol. I'm not sure I'd want to have to go through all that to clean it, but that seems to be a 1911 thing. I'd also have to have the lower righthand portion of my rib-cage removed to carry it w/o printing - a minor concession to be sure. 😁
Haha! I’d be in the same boat carrying it Frank. Thank you and cheers brother!
Price in today's times? Great channel by the way!
10mm baby! 1 full centimeter! Shoot some heavy 220gr buffalo bore
Haha! One step at a time Alaskan. I love shooting them but the wrist is not a fan, lol. Thank you and cheers brother!
Hey KS, thanks for the review. What size fiber optic filament do you use for the front sight? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Shayne! Not 100% sure on the size of this one. It’s a common size, but I don’t know the measurement. Thank you and cheers!
polymer lower on that glock so cheezy
Trying to decide between this one and the Tisas Night Stalker 10mm
I think those grips are either VZ or Cool Hands. I have a set of cool hand grips that are very similar to those in OD green and black
Good to know Rooster! Not familiar with Cool Hand but these grips definitely do the job. Thank you and cheers!
Here I am wanting this model in 2021. Fml
VERYGOOD @THAILAND
You mentioned you would state the price but it seems you failed to do so.
Also please mention the best priced 10mm auto pistol in 8" & + sized barrels for us working stiffs. THX.
Armscors ammo has been a flop for me when working with 357....seem to have hard primers but ive sometimes had half boxes not fire on performance center revolvers. Yes... I've adjusted the hammer spring to be heavy as possible and it's not a problem with just one revolver....ill use them for other ammo but not 357
Very interesting! I haven’t heard that feedback but glad you said something. Might be worth testing out. Thank you and cheers!
Series 70 is my preference
Tell me about the grips on the ultra FS. Are they regular 1911 government style/size grips? I'm considering buying one, but I don't knowcircthe grips are interchangeable with my regular old 1911 in .45 acp.
I want this exact gun and round but I want the 4.25" MS version
Another Great Review
The Tac Ultra has the same look as the Great
Springfield Armory TRP Operator with the full length dust cover/rail
The TRPs are accurate but expensive $1700.
TRP has the same paper clip take down.
For Series 70 style guns you can make them more drop resistant with a titanium firing pin and Wolff heavier pound firing pin spring.
BTW Double Tap makes awesome 10 mm ammo for every purpose.
Thank you Steve! Good to know about the titanium firing pin and spring. I’ll check them out. Cheers!
armscor is .40sw loaded 10mm. Sig range ammo is 1250fps 180grains. Fiocchi, same.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
I got one in 9mm.... But damn i miss my colt delta elite :(
But I got a glock 40 in 10mm :)
This gun is underrated af. Why spend thousands of dollars on a Wilson combat, Dan Wesson, kimber etc when I could buy one of these which shoots great and is just as reliable.
Great video. Considering getting this model in 45. Anyone know of a holster that is capable of carrying this with a light attachment?
Can you put a dawson precision toolless guide rod on it??
Does the mag scratches up the brass of the ammo?
Can you change the front sight to green fiber optic ?
You had me at budget friendly
For the features that ain't a bad price.
I figured that would grab some attention. Tons of fun to shoot brother. Thank you and cheers Dan!
Agreed!
@@KSGunGuy01 👍🇺🇸
I don’t know if this is a silly question or not but is this single action only? The pistol looks great and I think the 10mm is the round that brings traditional 45acp fans into the modern world. Great job!
Yes it is single action only. No harm in asking questions, the gun community is always happy to share our knowledge.
C is right, it’s single action only. Well worth checking out! Thank you and cheers!
You rock C!
KSGunGuy so are 1911’s with a safety typically SAO? Are hammer fired pistols that use a decocker then DA/SA? I’ve been considering going into the all metal frame, hammer fired pistol option and really don’t have enough info?
How does it do with hollow points and hard cast?
What ammo do you recommend? Heavy load? Can it handle 200 grain with 1200+ fps with a hard cast?
Handloads.
Yes.
Yes.
Are these guns good to go with full power 10MM loads?
Yes, that should not be an issue, though check the manual to be sure. Thank you and cheers!
How much how much???
I have talked my self out of buying their 10mm Hi capacity (Ultra FS HC)more than once. The reason? Only one magazine. I can't be the only buyer who views that as a deal breaker.
Well if you go with the Single stack, magazines are pretty reasonably priced. Some models in low 20's.
Considering the cost to get into the gun, buying an extra mag or two isn’t that bad in my opinion, though I do wish they came with at least two. Thank you and cheers!
Damn. I've had my eye on this for a while and never realized that. How much are extra mags running?
@@KSGunGuy01 when I get mine I ordered two more. I EDC mine and love it
10MM!!!!
Heck yeah! Thank you and cheers!
No sabia que existía la bala 10 mm
Did you all notice how little that tech 10mm Kicked? I could tell KC loved it, maybe more than Glock? Yes,,, the 2 Glock 10 mm are AWESOME. Please do not hate. No hate needed... Rock Island is an older company than Glock. OK HATE!!! Hahaha...
Did they send along holster recommendations for the TAC?
They didn’t unfortunately. Thank you and cheers!
As in another comment I did earlier just found 40 holsters listed on MidwayUSA that they say will work for this exact pistol, but I did have a 6" high cap version of this pistol found a cheap uncle mikes shoulder holster that worked well with it
This just shows that you can get a great 1911 thats affordable for $800, yet other 1911s have worse quality, features, detail, and accuracy for twice the price.
Just wish the front strap was checkered. Or at least leave it blank so it could be checkered later.
I guess I need a 1911 toy next ...
Absolutely! Thank you and cheers Rich!
My full size all Stainless Kimber weighs at least 40 Oz , Glock G-20 weighs about 30 Oz +/- , To me the glock G-20 is slightly softer shooting , I think it's the plastic frame flexing & or less slide Weight , or both ?? I mostly use Mid range ammo ( stronger than 40 S&W ) Win , Rem , Horn ... that is all the power I need in the mid west .. No Bears ! Love 10mm & full size .. if I only had ONE .. G-20 !!
Very interesting Dan! I’d think it would be their other way around but you may be right about the flex. I need to try the hot stuff at some point, but baby steps, lol. Thank you and cheers!
I love my G20.
ksgunguy! HEY! find me a 20'' ar barrel with a 10 mm bore. like to have a medium barrel, not to HEAVEY or too light! thanks.
High point has a 17" barrel in 10mm.
Unless you’re in competition mode or an operator. I don’t see the need in paying more for a platform that does just fine. I just bought one and my initial jams went away after 200 rounds and buying more quality mags.
What mags worked the best for you Thanks in advance I just picked up a used single stack RIA in 10 mm
At some point you'll have to fix your grip. Good info tho!
Lol. Thanks
Mmmmm...10mm. I haven't got one yet...but if I can free some space up in the safe, who knows.
I think a P80 in 10mm would be very cool. It’s on the list at some point. Either way, definitely worth taking one to the range. Thank you and cheers!
Looks like robocop gun...kinda with rail
If you don't mind KS , What's the Cost of this Model ???
It’s just over $800 if I remember correctly. Not a bad deal! Thank you and cheers brother!
@@KSGunGuy01 Thanks KS . 👍. Not Bad Price for a Sherman Tank with some Extra Thump 💪
Agreed!
I would need more mags. At least 6. I have 20 in 45. Anyone know how much Mags cost for this one?
That makes sense Steve. Not 100% sure on the cost, though I think it will take other common aftermarket mags. Thank you and cheers!
Wilson Combat 9 round mags for the 10mm in 1911 for close to $40 each online most anywhere I think are best choice in my opinion
