Rock Island armory M-S Series commander
I love the look and feel of the part, but unfortunately this item does not fit my commander style 1911. I have a Rock Island 1911 A1 MS (this is a mid size gun from them) with a 4.25" barrel. The housing goes in nice an tight, but i got about an 1/8" or more of it hanging out the bottom before the pin lines up. I'm afraid to have a gunsmith work on it because if it wont work i cant return it.
