Me like... Nice old war horse...
The Rock ain't too shabby either...
The Rock shoots very well, and has eaten any ammo I have fed it without a hitch. Only thing I have changed is the Hogue thin grips (I have short fingers), along with short grip bushings and Allen screws. Have MGW sights on order for it -- now to find someone to install them.

Nighthawk is a real nice pistol congratulations !! The TRP also is very nice.
Just brought my new Rock Island 1911 10mm home today. took a few shots just to try out my chronograph. looks like average speed for some federal 180 grain hollow points ( older 50rd boxes not the new stuff) was 998fps. I have some gold dots I loaded up with 8.3 grains of blue dot to try next after I run the 2 boxes of the factory federal I have. the one thing i noticed was that I will need a metal detector to find my brass, it throws them a long ways I gave up looking for them.
Do you see the marking on the end of the barrel? Is that normal? I am very new to owning handguns, this is my first handgun. the mark isn't just in the bluing you can feel it when you run your finger over it.
Thanks

Nice gun, no one.
That appears to be a heavy bushingless barrel. If so, the line on the barrel is where it contacts the slide during/at lockup since the barrel is pushed up when in battery.
You can fit an EGW flat firing pin stop and a 26 pound mainspring (if it doesn't have this. force spring already) to take some of the speed off the slide.

First off, NICE find - 10mm is one of my all time favorite caliber
As for the ejecting spent casing, get a 20lb recoil spring and a flat bottom firing pin stop - these quick mods should cure that. But before you do this the barrel/slide lockup should be addressed
From the pics, your RIA appears to have a bull barrel (bushingless).
The slide may have some burring.
- - Field strip the 1911 and remove the barrel from the slide. -
- - Check the inner portions of the slide above the recoil guide rod or the plug.
- - - - The barrel lockup area should be smooth to the touch with no burrs.
Since it's new send it back for a warranty work. I heard that RIA is very very responsive with a quick turn around time to boot
^ this. And they often do extra work while they have it…just contact Arnel at RIA in Pahrump.

If that scoring is deep enough to feel it... You may want to call and get an opinion from the smith as to whether or not that barrel is safe to use with the pressures that come from the 10MM rounds. A scratch is one thing, a deep gouge is another.

I had a 24# spring on my 10mm and it still sent the brass into low earth orbit. Especially with my handloads 
230gr LFNGC at close to 1100 fps.

The primers were just starting to flatten and no cratering on any of them (that I could find). Power Pistol for heavy bullets in the 10mm cartridge is awesome.
The gun had those marks right from the factory, I thought it was made that way because it only had the one shot fired from it or how ever many they shot at the factory. After I shot it there were no added marks or scrapes. The marks aren't scratches or indented marks it looks like the barrel was polished down by the factory most likely to fix the issue you described. I will take it out as soon as the rain stops and I can run a hundred rounds or so through it and see how it looks then.
Thanks for the replies
