Armscor / Rock Island Armory is good stuff as far as I am concerned. I own some and enjoy them all. Sure they may not be as pretty out of the box as others but they sure shoot good. Any of my cheap Rocks will out shoot any of my buddies Kimbers and Springers ... Makes them mad too. Just change the sights and change the grips and you are ready to go!
They are great as is or work as a good base to customize yourself if you chose.
As mentioned STI uses the Armscor Steel guns with their parts put in them. I do have an all STI made AL frame gun of theirs (which is very nice by the way).
Armscor also make the Charles Daly ones, the High Standard, the Citadels and others.
Great customer service and support. I have Martin the CEO of the company emailing me in response to questions.
I know a lot of people look down on them, but I feel good knowing I have a better gun that cost a third if what theirs did :-) never any problem with any if them, and if there ever was Armscor will gladly take care of it and have you covered.
