Go with the Rock Island 1911. They give you

the most for your money. A while back when the delivery of our own frames and slides was running way overdue, we took a Rock Island frame for the custom 1911 that Kase was building. When we looked over the RIA the gun was perfect. The holes for the safety and the slide release were exactly in the right spot. All the other areas were exactly in the right place with no needs for special work to make the gun work as normal. Plus they give you all the special parts on their standard G.I. model that other companies charge you for.
Since then we have used the RIA frames on some of our custom 1911s. And we do this because the frames are better than some of the high dollar U.S. made frames. I won't go into which U.S. frames are not up to specs, but let's just say the RIA 1911s are worth your money.
