What makes it "tactical"? Is it just part of the name?

cpc1027 · Jun 30, 2011

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is just the skeletonized trigger and hammer, the beaver tail, and the sight upgrades from RIA's GI model. The tactical is the next step up from GI.

Magnumite · Jun 30, 2011

Tactical has become a cliche' term. But it means duty or serious service, not range use. Fixed sights, adequate trigger weight, etc. YOu wouldn't take a Hammerli bullseye pistol on a drug raid.

"My First RIA Tactical"............Can't argue with a man that knows what he likes. Sounds like more in the future.

RIA models include - GI, Tactical and Match

A name to denote a gun that has some upgrades from a basic GI version.

Makes me wonder what some gun maker PR people were thinking when they come up with gun names. Colt used the "Commander" and "Agent", S&W had the "Combat Magnum" and the "Combat Masterpiece".

I'm very pleased with my RIA's. So far, so good (fingers crossed).

aquaman · Jun 30, 2011

That gun looks sweet, I love my gi model. enjoy!

SCARCQB · Jun 30, 2011

onatsky,

Your second 1911 should be this one.. Limited "Pilipinas" Edition

MDMOUNTAINEER · Jun 30, 2011

Son-of-a......................

I didn't buy that Colt because you wanted it, then you turn around and buy a RIA?
