Its only fitting I have a Filipino made 1911, I love Filipinos, hard working people and a great handgun

[@DefenseandSecurityTV]

That warms our hearts! Thank you!

[@leovaldez5017]

We have the same taste of gun choices 1911 which I really love to shoot in the range. Strong and buster

[@vladimirdmitriyevichmikhai6471]

Made in danao 1911 bro?

[@elmerlibres9357]

Danao Cebu made gun is illegal you can buy for only $100 1911 hand gun it's pretty good and accuracy..

[@bayshark7o7]

Cheers mate!

[@potskie76]

We have 3 gun manufacturers here in PH of good quality, may not that fairly cheap in price. But most of law abiding citizens refrained to buy one because of too much paper works and to remind us all, criminals dont bother much on gun laws only law abiding individuals do.

[@xuhu5746]

Klifford Ramos Can you sell it to me

[@OveRReV]

Strict gun laws only favor criminals, the ability to regulate & issue gun licenses must be taken away from the PNP because it's too centralized. A separate branch staffed by civilians should replace them.

[@iqbal4625]

Can we buy it in indonesia?

[@golfgunsandcocktailschannel]

@@iqbal4625 Rock Island is popular in U.S. because of its great quality and it's very affordable for gun buyers in tight budget. Question is, can you buy guns in Indonesia?

[@potskie76]

@@OveRReV You got it right sir, I agree with your thoughts.

[@firefightergoggie]

The Philippines have a long and extensive history with 1911 type handguns. They have served there as long as the US military have had them. It makes sense that they would produce quality 1911 firearms.

[@OveRReV]

Makes sense since the original M1911 pistol was tested against the Juramentados (Berserkers) of Mindanao back in the early 1900's as the .38 caliber revolvers proved ineffective against them.

[@KaoTicNiko]

@@OveRReV yup, i remember hearing a story about .38 wasnt enough power so they switched to .45 and since then became known as the "man stopper" round

[@Jaythecollector902]

Thank you to the Philippines for producing amazing guns! I just bought my 1911 from you guys! 1911 efs ceracote grey

[@subterfusion4005]

My grandfather fought in the Pacific war alongside a Filipino regiment. He said they were aggressive and skilled fighters who could be relied upon to stand their ground. Im sure that warrior ethos is imbued in all the Armscor guns. I have an M200 .38 and it is a solid piece.

[@somedudewatchingyoutube9163]

Ok but did he use a 1911?

[@fryingpanhead8809]

It was those Filipino Moros who precipitated the 45 ACP. The 38 Long Colt wasn't getting the job done.

[@Megadellicantera]

The Model 1911 .45, 100 year old design that is still one of the best handguns ever produced. While I highly respect and appreciate all the people at armscor and may armscor have a successful future. But me being a red blooded American I had to stay true and I got me the Remington 1911R1. Don't ever give up your rights, no matter where you are from!

[@rumripper]

Unfortunately any 1911 other than ria is extremely rare to find. At least here In is California.

[@johnnyreddig3057]

Yep, on my 18th birthday my dad got me a Springfield 1911, love the hell out of that gun

It is bro. The ARMSCOR RIA TAC FS is the official side arm of the AFP having the ranks of Corporal down to Private. The Women AFP Personnel, the Sergeants up to officers are issued with Glock 17.

I bought the RIA Pro Match Ultra FS last February .The gun is tight and I am impressed with the slide/frame fitting and over all craftsmanship that went into the making of this gun. My RIA Pro Match Ultra FS is equal to my Kimber, and better than my Colt and Springfield. I think my gun was made using the CNC machines that Armscor procured not too long ago. Because of this very favorable experience, I highly recommend that you check out the Rock Island Armory line of 1911s.

Maganda talaga Armscor, dapat nga sila na lang ang official supplier ng firearms sa PNP & AFP, mas madali pang i-recall kung magka-issue man at mas madali ang maintenance dahil nandito mismo yung factory nila. Wala namang problema sa Glock kung tutuusin, pero isipin mo ang design ng 1911, beterano na sa ilang digmaan yan umbaga sa english, "tried and tested" na.

[@adamtaylor4298]

US gun manufacturers think investment casting on gun frame produce poor gun quality in compared to forged. I get it Investment casting just cheaper and easy to produce but it doesn’t last. Armscor need to clarify what make a gun frame made by investment casting as good as forged frame. And the other thing what up with one ammo clip that comes with the box. Just every budget 1911 comes with 2 ammo clip. Taurus and Girsan do come with 2 ammo clips. Sometimes your mag or clip is junk and consumer have to spend extra on a bit better quality. Quality is better than quantity and Filipinos do work hard. You would think countries like Philippines employing cheap labor at least you can afford to produce better made product.
