If you can find this gun, BUY IT! Just took it to the range yesterday and this is an excellent firearm. Couldn’t miss with it straight out of the box without any adjustment. Easier than my Hellcat to shoot. Great gun. Will be edc over my Hellcat

A 1911 with a captive recoil spring and no barrel bushing. Sold!

Reminds me of the Para Ordnance P10-45 Warthog from back in the day. I'm absolutely gonna have to look into this one. Sub-compact 1911 in .45 ACP with 10+1... What's not to love? If it performs like my RIA 1911's I will have this in my EDC rotation. I honestly can't wait to see the range review on this one. Nice job GB.

That little thing holds 10 rounds of .45?? 😱😱

thank you for your video! i just now watched it again and you confirmed that i can order a mag from ria for my llama. i knew i'd seen the llama mag in an ria somewhere, but i am getting older and don't trust my memory as much as i used to. i love your videos as you are honest and know what you're doing and talking about, unlike many others.

Love that Train Of Consequences intro!!!

With respect to the grip, it's sort of like a G-30 with a flush 9 round mag. Thanks for this well presented and detailed review.

im 5'2" and 200lbs ... i want this gun, it speaks to me lol

Maddy, be ready for this one. It sure looks like a kicker. 😳😎

they need a 12 round or a pinky rest

This is going to garner some interest and then they're going to end up doing variants of this - at least one made from a lighter material and one with a pic rail

My son got me one awhile ago for my 56th birthday. It's difficult to purchase additional magazines and my Para Ordnance double stack magazines do not fit on this. It's an awesome monster as a pocket gun. Most people pocket a 22 or 380 meanwhile I have a 45 ACP in my front pocket 😉

Immediately thought of the Para Warthog. Nice.

I’m excited to see it here in the Philippines.

i laughed my ass off when i saw this!! that thing looks crazy!

My Sti Guardian 2011 has a cut out where the spring is exposed too. I have had it a few years now and it has never been a problem. I will be getting one of these. I wanted a warthog before Freedom Group took over para and merged them with Remington. I was on Remingtons sight the other day and they dont have the double stacks on the site anymore which sucks because I was looking to get the R1 Recon.

All I would want is a little pink grip extension. My everyday carry is a G26 and it this exact same size. I had to add the pinky extension to make it comfortable to grip and shoot.

Llama made these for years. These look like RIA improved on the design. Definitely going to look into getting one

I have the full size RIA double stack 45 (14+1) and love it, this 10+1 little brother will need to be added to the family! LOL

Made in the Philippines i love this gun...

LLAMA made this exact same gun back in the late 90s called the Mini Maxx, I can't believe people think that this is a new concept.

I like the looks of this gun except for one thing. The bottom of the mag needs a baseplate with another finger groove for your pinky finger.

Nice and compact! Can’t wait to see you shoot it!!!

I have to say those GB Guns grips are pretty BA! The only Rock Island in my safe o 'guns is also the only 1911 that I will take out into the White Mountains when I go hiking with my daughter (in bear / moose territory). None other than the RI Ultra FS HC! If 16 + 1 rnds of 10mm doesn't stop something ........ it's cause it's already dead LOL Actually your tabletop & range video is a big part of why I bought it in the first place. RI makes some seriously awesome firearms, including their semi-12 ga's, but this mini powerhouse is pretty innovative! Maybe their next 1911 will be a 7 + 1 of .454 Casull. Hey, it could happen 😁

I like it! I like it being a double stack, definitely better than some other micro 1911's.

Not many double stack 1911 subcompacts out there. Sold yes please

Sweet !!! … This will compliment my ATI FX45 Fatboy nicely !!!

i noticed its got fiber optic front sight , my understanding of that is the barrel heat melts them, so they come out with steel sight on newer ones

i have the og- the llama minimax ii, and it rocks the island. seriously, it was one of llama's best designs and built to their highest standards. rock island did well adopting both it and the micro-max.

Taurus PT111 G2 9MM paid $360 for it in 2015 came with a lifetime warranty Two 12 Round Double Stacked Magazines loaded with Hornady Critical duty 135 gr +P Ammo not one single issue with it...Taurus makes some of the Very best 9 & 10MM & 40 caliber hand guns at any price...

I'd like to see a 12 rnd mag w/additional length for better grip

My BBR 45 jammed all the time no matter what ammo I put thru it. Sent it back to the manufacture twice and finally I just gave up on it. I used it for my CC and needed more reliability due to the high crime areas i have to go into. Don't need something jamming in a gun fight. I already had to pull my weapon once this year at the scene of an accident where one party was threatening to shoot the other party and I did not feel the confidence I normally feel. Went back to a glock 19x until my new Springfield XDM Elite 45acp OSP came. Springfield restored my confidence.

I just picked one up. All it needs is new sights, an ambi safety, and +1 'stendos( i have this weird thing with wanting 1 over a multiple of 5, so 6, 11,16,21,ect. And they balance out the nose heavy weight) oh and i need to black out the hood of the barrel. Ive been waiting for these for years; since they were called the " cs warrior ". Rock island makes awesome, high quality 1911s that can compete with other modern designs at prices comparable to combat tuperware

Can't wait for this model in 9mm

REALLY NICE REALLY

That's very nice. I would prefer everything to be melted and bobbed though, like it is on Para-Ordnance model "Carry". Bobbed and rounded grip safety, and a bobbed hammer, and all edges smoothed.

8:47 he's not kidding, I mag dumped one of these one time for fun on my friends property and I was presently surprised how fast and easy it was. But this one was the second version with the ported barrel, so it was more controllable.

RIA should have made the handle a bit longer and add another 2 rounds.that will be the best 1911 made..

Looks like a Funko Pop figure of a 1911

This pistol is for up close self defense and for that purpose it can be very effective i love it i want 2 of these babies

I love this. This means that it will be too expensive.

It almost looks like one of the discontinued full-perimeter S&A magwells for the Para-Ordnance P13 might fit. You had to cutaway part of the frame for those, giving it a stepped look. RIA probably used the longer mainspring housing so they could use an OACP-length spring, instead of the shorter P10/P12 mainspring.

I have this EXACT handgun and it used to jam almost every round. It became a serious problem and nobody I spoke to knew what to do. Rock Island Armory claims that there is a 500 round break-in period. But that does NOT mean "MALFUNCTION NON-STOP UNTIL THEN." All the break-in period is for is to make the tolerances ever so slightly looser to make the slide cycle easier. All other 1911s have the same break-in period but most can fire multiple entire magazines out of the box with absolutely no malfunctions. HERE'S THE SOLUTION: EVOLUTION GUN WORKS is a company that builds mid-priced but high quality Guide Rod Assemblies for Officer, Commander, and Government 1911s. Although, if you have a 1911 pistol and your Guide Rod Assembly is a fucked up, shitty design, chances are it's an Officer Frame. TBH, I'm surprised the dozen people I've spoken to in the past about my handgun repeatedly jamming just didn't know how to fix it. They kept saying it's the extractor. But they were wrong. I don't know why but for some reason, a lot of Officer 1911s are built with a horribly unreliable Guide Rod Assembly and let me tell you - EVOLUTION GUN WORKS is a saving grace for these guns and they honestly need more recognition.

Muscle memory with regards to small grip. I was thinking it before he mentioned it. I've a 9mm Kel-Tec P11. After a few sessions (one outting):on the range adapting to smaller grip not much an issue. My opinion not a bad platform for EDC/CQB situations. I'm strongly considering RIA &/or Para-Arms compact double stack. As option not necessarily replacement to my KT. My Department issued S&W M-P 45 is decent Service Weapon but as such not as concealable. In my opinion. I'm not a big individual (well not vertically at least) but I think this design system more manageable to switch to should I find myself being forced from un-armed to more lethal method where there's no where to evade.

I have the old Para Ordnance P-10, which is very similar. So much that the mags for this particular Rock Island pistol, some parts interchange. Had trouble finding Para parts so I figured I'd give it a shot. So far everything I ordered from Rock Island fits and functions. Will be buying a Rock Island soon though. I think the steel frame would feel better to shoot than the Para aluminum.

I put the this 3" barrel and slide on a full size frame ! 2 8s and 2 10s good quality mags !

I've got to fire one of these, felt weird. Wish I had a video of it, But I did get one of the SKS that day.

Reminds me of my ATI FATBOY , has been great . Ty for video

I had a Detonics .45 ca. About that small like 25 years ago, gave it to a cousin who has since passed away.

We have to defend our right to bear arms!! The gun community cannot continue being silent, letting these snowflakes threaten our god given right. Walmart has lost my business. #boycottwalmart

They sent you a defective gun with only half a handle.

How come they dont make a version in 9mm. Is it the dwell timing of a 9mm version? Complexity?

I bought one of these pistols couple months ago I've heard that they're supposed to be the smallest 1911 in production it feels really good in my hand I haven't fired you yet I'm sure it's going to kick my ass just a very cool gun very well built

Wish they would make a competitor to the BUL SAS II UL

Nice gun, i will wait for the 9mm for this.

The pistol at the opening of the video made me think, "If you had 2 of those, you could go as The Shadow!"

Where have I been how did I miss this little beauty?

Word of advice to anyone who already owns this BBR, or is contemplating buying one... Check your guide rod after you shoot each magazine.... they loosen and will fall away. The entire guide-rod recoil spring design is FLAWED and needs a serious redesign!

For this size, I opted for the s&w 457 s. I do own a.45, a 10mm and the 22tcm/9mm 1911s from ria, but this looks almost too small for a .45

this is practically a 1911 version of the Glock 30

Hmm? A very concealable .45 acp.. The only thing is that grip length, not sure I’d like that. It’s a cute little thing though!

I've said it before but anyone who has Train of Consequences as their intro music is obviously a badass, so thank you Graham, badass. Nice little pistol, I want to believe that Rock Island can make a good functional 1911 but I just cant bring myself to trust a $300 1911 thats all, must be a subconscious thing, so if you can prove me wrong I'd very much appreciate it. Assuming youre not limpwristing, how's the reliability on that hog?

That gun is PHAT!

They need to bring this out in 10mm and 357 Sig!! Maybe 9mm for the office workers who can't handle recoil.

Please do repost after you have run a couple thousand rounds through this gun. I had a P10 that performed flawlessly through the first 300 rounds or so, then it started locking back even with rounds remaining in the magazine. Tried different mags. Tried doctoring the detent plunger and making a deep indent in the slide lock for the plunger to hold it more securely. Tried all sorts of stuff, and the only thing that helped was replacing the recoil spring every 300 rounds or so. Like Devildog says below, this gun is almost a dead ringer for the P10-45 and I just want to know that it does not have the same design flaw as the otherwise very cool ParaOrdnance that it is clearly modeled after. It was a VERY fun gun to shoot. Bucks a bit, yeah! But one does get used to the recoil and it is a very potent little jacket pocket or IWB carry gun. I even carried the P10 in my jeans pocket a few times but it was just a little thick for pocket carry.

Wow, that look like semilar to my ati fxfatboy 1911 in 12rd but yours is just a little small grip in 10 round, hmm I wonder if my 12rd mag fits. By the way nice 1911

I heard they have a ported barrel version that melted the fiber optics so they switched back to standard iron sights. Is this true?

Great, interesting, and informative review! Thank you!

Its a beautifull design i really would love to own one just like it

I'll take a double stack 6" 10mm please.

Its a p10 warthog copy but sadly has extra thickened frame at the grip. It still has the same recoil spring and guide rod and cap breaking every few boxes of .45

Rack the slide back and you will see a small hole in the guide rod stick a paper clip in it then disassemble the weapon as normal. That will capture the recoil spring assembly and you won't have to fight it .

Looks great but that first one u showed is a thing of beauty. Love those grips. U should put those Same grips on that lil one. Can u put an extended mag or pinky extension for 3 finger contact?

Does the RIA bbr 3.10 .45acp accept any other double-stack mags? Like a 15 round DS capacity mag?

I luv the 1911, it works.......all the time! BUT this little puppy is a must. 10+1 makes it a great contender for a good combat handgun. Now if you can hit what you point at, you got something. Where do I get one????? Yeah, I know.........at the gun store.

💥Nice Review👍its been a while...I've heard from others about an ongoing issue with Reverse Plug Bursting/Malfunction. Have u heard of or encountered this? Tnhx!😎

I use the para p14 14 round mags in my llama like this. Just trim as small notch on the top back side for the mag.

I’m going to have to ROLL WITH THIS ROCK!!!!!

Needs mag extensions in a big way , as it is its gonna flip badly when you shoot it

Cute. I imagine that short barrel in 45 will make for a lot of unburned powder buildup.

Wonder if my llama minimax ll subcompact magazine will fit this beast -

Love it!

Be awesome if they kept the same barrel but extended the grip like the 43x. I'd be in line for that.

I wish Rock Island would offer aluminum frame 1911's for easier carry.

I bought one two years ago. They only sent me one magazine and I still haven't been able to find any more ugh

Anyone who enjoys shooting enjoys 1911 s. Yeah pretty much !! Added bonus , you will still have your gun if a house fire happens . Great video !

The spring showing is normal. It should be a 9mm for better control and there should be longer mags for larger hands. Rock makes a good weapon.

My Colt 1911 s80 also has exposed blade spring inside the magwell/grip

This doesn't break down like other RIAs with an Allen key or paperclip in the front to manage the tension on the guide rod springs?

I got tge iver Johnson 6 in 10mm and love it

I hope they'll have barrel length options for this setup.

I want a light as possible, single stack, slim,and in 40 if possible pistol. (Shrink a Pm40 for example)

Spot on with the biker comment!

Para ordance 1st came to mind

i'm buying that i have a 3.1" mini already 6+1 no safety*( kinda has a safety first pull is about 15lbs )* no lock back its cheap

Where can I get the rock island amory 3.10 I’ve been looking all over

Not sure what to think. All I've seen at first glance is it's a 1911 version of the Glock 30S, & the 30S might be a bit thinner........

Thats a badass gun

this would be a great firearm if the grip wasnt as short as it is if it was a 3/4 to a inch long it would be a much better shooter

How does this compare to Rock Island Ultra CS Warrior?
