Rock Island Armory is the flagship brand of Armscor, the largest firearms manufacturer in the Philippines, with U.S. operations in Pahrump, Nevada. The company built its reputation by making the 1911 accessible — producing reliable, forged, GI- and tactical-pattern 1911s at prices that put John Browning's classic within reach of nearly any shooter. For a huge number of owners, their first 1911 wears an RIA roll mark.
Beyond the deep 1911 catalog, Rock Island is the home of the .22 TCM, a proprietary high-velocity bottlenecked cartridge offered in pistols and rifles. The lineup also includes VR-series magazine-fed and tube-fed shotguns, the TM22 rimfire rifle, the affordable AL series revolvers, and a range of pump and break-action shotguns.
For shooters who want a dependable 1911 — or something a little different in .22 TCM — without a premium price, Rock Island Armory delivers exceptional value.
