Rock Island Armory has a line of 1911 pistols bearing the 2011 Tactical Series title. These pistols are meant to honor the 100-year anniversary of the famed Model 1911, while showing off the latest advancements in pistol accessories for the legendary pistol. One of the newer additions to the 2011 Tactical Series, is a single stack 10mm that premiered at last year’s SHOT Show, but its such a nice pistol that I wanted to share it in this year’s show coverage. The other models in the 2011 Tactical Series include a traditional .45 ACP and a 9mm version of the pistol.
The Tactical 2011 VZ Grip 10 mm combines the 1911 concept and design, with modern features and materials. In recent years Rock Island Armory has been steadily making a name for themselves by producing quality 1911 pistols at affordable prices. This pistol caught my eye for its attractive profile, and the selection of the powerful 10mm.
