RIA 1911 double stack

[Sergeis64]

Bought a slightly used RIA 1911 double stack Plain Jane, for little money. Gun is fine, shoots fine, came with 2 mags. Only thing that I might change in the future- grips, and add skateboard tape on the front- for better grip. Grips on the gun are different from single stack- thinner and have a tab on the back. Has anybody seen replacement grips on the market? I realize this gun is likely banned in MA, but maybe folks from other states ran across it...

I realize this gun is likely banned in MA...

I can't blame you for not being an expert on MA gun laws, but you can legally own almost any handgun in MA, the only banned category is post-ban "assault pistols".

do pre-ban 13 round mags exist for this bad larry?

Depends on when they started making the gun (or any gun that takes the same mag).

Well if the gun is post 98, can I use pre 98 mags that accept it?

Has to be pre Sept. 1994 to be pre ban. Age of the firearm isn't relevant.

Sounds like the same as for a Para P14-45... There are some grips out there. Midway has a Hogue wrap-around grip for the P14... There are other grips out there too. Some lower cost, others no as much. I've seen some hitting close to $100 for the set. I did a google search for the results the other day (searched for "para-ordnance p14-45 grips")... You can also google search for "rock island 1911 double stack grips" and get good results. From the pics I've seen (from the second search) the same grips will work between both pistols.

Thanks! Was not sure on P14 compatibility but mine came with 2 double stack p14 mags that fit perfectly.
