There are also a fair number of 9mm and .38 Super 1911s in ESP division, but .45s are mostly all in CDP (you can shoot your .45 in ESP, but there's no good reason to, unless all the competition at a given match is in ESP). If your RIA has the tiny G.I. sights, that will be something of a hindrance, but when the distance to targets is rarely more than ten yards, and round counts are low, reliability is the more important factor. If your gun runs 100%, you are way ahead of the game.
