The very concept gives me the giggles.

Look's like the 22lr they had on display at SHOT.

This one has my interest. The 2k price point is a little much.

Rock River producing a gun that has known issues...

They are really setting themselves up for success. :D:D:D:D

Rock River conventional 1911s were good stuff at quite possibly best price point for a quality 1911. In fact, they got out of 1911 business with an explanation that it wasn't as cost-effective for them as ARs. I regret not getting one of their 1911 when you could a full-featured, competently assembled 1911 with excellent frame and slide and quality small parts for $1500-1700.
Don't know about the plastic stuff though, we'll have to see.

Single stack remake of the Bul M5?

Rock River started out making the 1911 and later begin production of the AR. They made a very solid 1911 but their AR has been questionable. I missed out on buying a custom built 1911 when they first started out in the late 90's, bought a Kimber instead for a few dollars less. The Kimber turned out to be a good gun but the RR would have been a better purchase that would have appreciated far more than the Kimber did.

The price tag on this new 1911 has me skeptical. Time will tell and I don't want to start any Internet rumors but I don't think this gun is made by Rock River. It really looks like something they are putting their name on.
