Rock Ultra FS HC (10mm) - RIA's Double Stack Powerhouse

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Here is a plug for RIA and this firearm: My nearly brand new one had a problem and I returned it to the company. Yesterday I received a brand new replacement. Very impressive service!

[@Icarryone]

Excellent. 👍

[@Dorelaxen]

Rock Island does things right. Great, entry level 1911s for a reasonable price, or high quality, match grade pistols like this one. Fantastic. A lot of companies can learn from this business model. Cater to the guys that love the high end stuff, but never, ever forget the working man that doesn't have a lot of disposable income, and don't skimp on quality!

I'm right with you in that they shipped with one magazine and its infuriating. I've been looking for spare magazines since I bought mine and I usually prefer the factory mags, but with this piece, I'm just glad you found a serviceable magazine! Thanks for doing the legwork!

[@robertpatterson3406]

I got my extra mags from advanced tactical RIA’s sister company and I haven’t had any problems with them.I am more than satisfied with my gun and mags .

[@raymondproulx1095]

Nice review. I picked up one of these several years ago. My only complaint was the finish. It’s not evenly applied and has a few dull spots. It is very reliable and will digest anything I feed it. Trigger is decent. Mine breaks at about 3 1/2 pounds. Accuracy is acceptable for a pistol in the sub-$700 range. Just started hand loading 10mm. Who knows, maybe I’ll find the magic combination that makes this guy a real tack driver. Finding magazines is a real challenge. I finally scored 2 extras from a distributor in Montana. I also found two Para mags at a gun show that work perfectly. Having a lot of fun with it. I’m a big fan of the 10mm. I also have a Sig Legion and an S&W 610 in the caliber. Comparing the costs when I found mine, the RIA delivers the best bang for the buck. I understand these have become scarce and more pricey in the last few years.

[@vernsutcliffe858]

I bought one of the first 10mm RIA 1911's in 2013. It's not a double stack, and being a very early model it has the polymer mainspring housing, non-adjustable trigger, and slotted grip screws instead of the hex head screws. That being said, it's as reliable as an anvil and has been my EDC gun for the last 10 years. I can't wait to try the double stack!

[@raymondproulx1095]

Bought one of these in the spring. Very pleased with the accuracy and reliability. Mine is not picky about ammo and has run a variety of hand loads and factory loadings with no stoppages, so far. Finish could be better, but at this price point, I’m not making a big deal about it. Extra magazines are nearly impossible to find. Since you only get one mag, this can be an issue. So far, I’ve only been able to acquire one spare. Nice shooter. My Sig 220 is slightly more accurate. However it was more than twice as expensive and only holds 8 in the mag. I’m recommending RIA for a good entry level 10mm.

[@Icarryone]

Great channel, Sir!, I thought I have seen some videos that claim you can run 40S&W ammo through a 10 mm pistol. What is your take on this?

[@Icarryone]

Some pistols will, some will not. I personally choose not to do this because the 40SW round is shorter and doesn't headspace properly in a 10mm's chamber.

[@lorneholtzclaw4505]

Got a question. Academy Sports carries this gun at a good price but they don’t stock it. No gun shops around stock it there is my problem. I have small to medium sized hands and would really like to put one in my hand before I buy one. Is it comparable to size as most 2011’s? How much longer is the 10 mm frame vs a 45 2011 frame?

[@Icarryone]

Grip size . . . okay, if you're comfortable with the grips on a Glock 20 or 21sf, you'd be okay with the grips on a 1911A2. The grip frame itself is just wider, not longer. Most gun shops carry a large frame Glock to use as a comparison.

Have you had any feeding issues? My RIA 1911 9mm wouldn't feed/chamber HP from the mag.

[@Icarryone]

Some semi-auto's don't feed certain brands of hollow points very well. Try several different brands and see if it makes a difference. You might also want to polish the feed ramp - this oftentimes makes feeding HP ammo more reliable.

[@notablediscomfort]

How thick is the grip compared to standard 1911? I got smallish hands that fit a cz75 and a standard 1911 perfectly. I'm worried I'll order this piece and not have a proper fit so I can't reasonably carry it, which is 90% of my purpose for wanting it.

I bought one in Dec.2020 right before Christmas.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by bigger? The RIA has a much narrower slide profile but weighs a few ounces more due to it's all steel construction. The grips on the G20 are a little larger and perhaps a little less ergonomic. Other than that, their overall size is about the same. RIA does make a commander or mid-sized single stack version but I'm not aware of any plans to make a commander sized A2 version.

It's a pretty straight forward Parkerized finish - but well done. I'm satisfied with it.

[@oneuptoptv]

Great videos could u make some on the JHP 45? That would be great.

[@Icarryone]

I'll put that on the "to do" list.

[@colsoncustoms8994]

Hey, any update on how this firearm has held up? Thanks for the look at this very interesting handgun.

[@Icarryone]

It's got a lot of rounds through it now - no issues whatsoever.

[@colsoncustoms8994]

Awesome, thanks for the prompt reply.

[@jamesbundy1781]

I have one, and I'm extremely happy with it! Traded a Canik tp9sa for it and believe I got the better deal!

[@Icarryone]

Right on!

Many shooters mistakenly equate recoil with bullet weight, and assume the big 230 grain .45 round will have the heaviest recoil out of all the 1911 variants. Recoil is directly in proportion to muzzle energy, not bullet weight. The other factor that determines "felt recoil" is the weight of the gun itself. That is why an all steel 1911, can handle the hot 10mm with ease, while your plastic Glock 10mm punishes it's owners. I see them at the range. One mag, then it's back to the bag, looking for that 9mm.

[@Icarryone]

I've seen that happen.

[@timhallas4275]

@@Icarryone It's actually funny how so many people buy 10mm or 357 mag and then almost never shoot them.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

Top notch review for a very nice handgun! Any feeding or reliability issues after 2 years of use, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@Icarryone]

I've shot this 1911 quite a bit and don't recall it having any FTF or FTE issues with it.

[@willyd4850]

What kind of powder and how many grains are you loading to get that kind of velociy??? Thanks!

[@Icarryone]

Due to potential liability, I do not give out or recommend specific loading data - sorry.

[@willyd4850]

@@Icarryone no worries thanks!

[@danielreid3476]

Opinions vary on this. The 10mm evolved into something Jeff Cooper never intended. Cooper wanted a 200 grain bullet moving at 1000fps, nothing more. Keep in mind, a 40 cal 200 grain bullet has better sectional density than a 230 grain 45. And at the moderate velocity of 1000 fps, it's still outperforming most 230 grain 45+P loads. My point is, you only need a 200 grain bullet at 1000 fps and you only need a 180 grain bullet at 1100 fps. Then the question comes up: why not just go with a 40 S&W then? Easy answer: pressure. The 40 S&W can achieve those goals, but it has to run at peak pressure to do it. The 10mm gets there easier.

Got the 9mm with 22 tcm conversion barrel. 10mm is another reason to for a Rock Island. 🇺🇸🗽🦅

[@daveleverenz7095]

I purchased one and yes, I didn't like one magazine. The factory magazine had a weak spring and wouldn't load the last round. The factory replaced the magazine as soon as they had received the defective one. The replacement is defective as well. The follower pushed itself out of the magazine before I had a chance to load the first round. So, here I am again with no functional magazine.. So, I ordered some extras through your link. Thank you..

[@Icarryone]

+Dave Leverenz The ones I purchased from Greg Coat have worked perfectly for me.

[@BlueonGoldZ]

Great video. Reminds me of my Sig Sauer 716 .308 review. About 3 weeks ago, I picked-up a souble stack TAC series RIA in .40 that has the full length dust cover and rail. It runs great with STI mags but I noticed a few of the mags that are factory-spec, which I also got from Greg Cote, will sometimes prematurely lock the slide back with rounds left in the mag. The lever will not fully insert into the notch but it gets high enough to stop the slide in the rear position. Are you encountering this with your mags?

[@Icarryone]

+BlueonGoldZ So far I haven't had any issues running 10mm rounds out of them.

[@riverrrat1766]

I’m thinking about upgrading to a flat wire 22# recoil spring. Any thoughts?

[@Icarryone]

None come to mind.

[@iiGODLYWARRIOR]

Will this fit in a shoulder holster made for single stack 1911s?

[@Icarryone]

Absolutely.

[@stevendee2831]

Thanks for sharing. Been looking to replace my old p-13 . Now I know I can with the rock island 10

[@Icarryone]

Excellent choice.

[@yahsuahabdurrah-man4605]

All these 10 mils 😍. 😇 I'm in heaven. (Yes im a ten mm fan)Your right you do have a lot of 10mm reviews. My dad has a 1911 that he brought back from Vietnam and the first time I saw it I fell in love.

[@Icarryone]

This A2 model packs twice as many rounds as a standard 1911-A1. Certainly can't complain about that.

[@user-mc6df1ep3c]

I really enjoy your videos and I'm new to your Channel this particular firearm really intrigues me I'm a huge 10 mm fan but cannot afford most 10 mm other than this one I do have a Glock 29 but I'm not a Glock fan just a 10 mm fan would you recommend this firearm? It's tax return time and would like to purchase another 10 mm for my collection. Your opinion is greatly valued thank you for your time.

[@Icarryone]

I highly recommend any of the 10mm"s you'll see in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_TqqF_f6uDhZI

[@828enigma6]

Nice, but it needs a light rail. Is it available with one?

[@Icarryone]

Yes, RIA makes a similar model with a rail.

[@828enigma6]

@@Icarryone Have to look into it. How does this pistol feel compared to a Paraordinance P14, my duty LEO favorite?

[@Icarryone]

The wider grip feels very similar to the Para.
