Watch Manhattan Full Movie'>Watch Manhattan Full Movie. GI 1. 91. 1s. The finish isnt blued, but parkerized. The handles are smooth and unadorned, fashioned from inexpensive wood. Dans gun had obvious tool marks throughout, including a pretty deep one on the trigger guard. Most of the edges are sharp and rough. But come on, this is a 4. Philippines. Its not supposed to be pretty. The Rock Island Armory GI Standard FS isnt a beauty contest winner by any means, but that doesnt mean it wont shoot. Does it So, a little Rem. Oil and. I had a lot of Winchester White Box, Remington UMC, American Eagle and Blazer Brass 2. FMJs along with some Remington Golden Saber hollow points. For magazines we deployed the cheap and cheerful mag supplied by RIA as well as upmarket STI as Wilson Combat mags. First up shoot i to get a feel for the gun. The feel is painful. Three magazines in and I was getting cut up. Like the rest of the gun, the grips safety is roughly cut and unpolished. The Rock Island GI Standards recoil drove those sharp edges right into the web of my hand. Fortunately, I just picked up a pair of Kryptek Gunslinger gloves on the recommendation of a professional shooter. The gloves afforded a good grip, ideal trigger feel and saved my hands from what would have been ballistic butchery. Ok. So this particular 1. But lets see how it shoots anyway. Well, it doesnt, not reliably anyway. The GI made it to round 4. The next failure to feed arrived at round 4. It didnt get much better after that. Failures happened with every magazine. As far as I could tell, no mag was more or less likely to fail than the others. It wasnt an ammo issue either. I had consistent first round failure to feed malfunctions with every type of ammunition I fed the Rock Island GI, and several failures to return to battery as well. At about 2. 00 rounds, I regrouped. A heavy round of Rem. Oil and that helped a lot. But I still had to push the slide with my thumb to feed the first round with just about every type of ammo, with the notable exception of the Blazer Brass. For some reason, the GI like Blazer. After the second lube, the budget priced 1. The Winchester ammo still had occasional problems. Feeding Remington ammo resulted a first round failure to feed every time. So appearance, shootability, and reliability are all no goes. What about accuracy The Action Target dueling tree was driving me crazy. I couldnt reliably hit the 6. Neither could the other two shooters, both competent with a pistol. Shooting off a front bag the Rock Island GI shot 5. From my snubby J frame 3. SPLP back up gun, thats a good group. From a full frame 1. Bottom line this gun is no fun to shoot at all and I certainly wouldnt bet my life on it. The same rough treatment found on the guns exterior carries through to the internals. From the bolt face to breach, this gun seems unfinished. Its pretty clear that Rock Island stopped working on the gun when they were done, not when it was ready. There is inexpensive, and then there is just cheap. This is gun is the latter. Oh, and before anyone asks, RIA is free to pull a Cabot fly me to the Philippines to fix this gun, take me on a factory tour and have me shoot it again. Just sayin. But the tool marks, the rough edges, and the cheap handles make the gun look ugly. No parkerized finish looks great, but this one looks like some of the first finishes I did in my garage. And thats not good. Accuracy At contact range this gun is a tack driver. Beyond that, things get iffy. Reliability 0 Its not. Overall 0. Im not mad, Im just disappointed. Pati Patni Aur Woh Episode 1 Part 2. A 1. 91. 1 can be beautiful, reliable, and accurate. Thats why I carry one. But all that comes at a price. Apparently that price is higher than 4. And if you want a GI 1. It says Colt on the side of it.
