NcSTAR1911 Pistol Accessory Rail Adapter (MAD1911)

I installed this on my cheap RIA 10mm and it fit just fine.The small allen wrench DOES NOT FIT the small allen screw, weird they would supply something that does not fit.Now, let's see if it stays in place when I hit the range...

Ordering an NcStar part, I usually expect crap, but sometimes thats all I need. That was not the case here. The part fit very well on my Taurus 1911. High quality milled aluminum part with perfect fitment. Looks really good, and enough picatiny rail to put anything you can think of on it. I highly recomend this part for anyone with a 1911 that didnt come with an accesory rail. The Army uses a part similar to this for the few 1911 still kicking around, they are cheaply made out of plastic. This part is far superior.Update: This thing does not stay clamped on under repeated firing even with locktite. It looked great, and fit great, but is not up to snuff on a firearm you intend to actually use.

I usually don't write reviews but it seems as if this product has been improperly applied by most of the buyers. I read quite a few reviews before buying and curiosity got the best of me. I have a .45 Springfield 1911 A1 and it fit perfectly, which is the exact opposite opinion of most reviews. It seems as if most buyers haven't realized that there's a third screw in the front that tightens the rail. It's a great, strong piece added to my weapon, mostly for home defense. There hasn't been any problem with it slipping, either (don't use the long end of the tool for leverage). I haven't even put loctite on it... yet. Not sure why people continue to complain about their lasers being off sight but lasers are supposed to be used for only for CQB, not ranged combat. I can only imagine the distance they were shooting to miss center mass. My friends and I in the Infantry Marines call these types of people "shooting illiterates;" A.K.A. "gear qu###s." In other words, people that don't understand the science and strategy behind pieces of equipment. Yet, they still insist on stockpiling as much tactical gear as possible to compensate for their inexperience. All-in-all, it's a decent piece if installed properly.

I noticed all the negative reviews, but decided to take a chance because of some of the positive reviews and Amazon's return policy. In the positive reviews, several mentioned that they thought possibly the part was installed wrong and that the mount fit their gun perfectly. When the package arrived, there was what looked like a plastic mount in a plastic bag. However, also in the bag was a box. The box contained a very nice aluminum mount. So, for some reason I received 2 mounts. The plastic one surely was not of very good quality. I tried it on one of my Kimber Custom IIs. The fit was poor, my finger wouldn't fit in the trigger guard and I don't believe it would stand up to recoil, as many have stated. The aluminum mount, however, mounted easily to the same pistol and seems very sturdy. I don't have a holster made for it yet, so haven't used it in training, but will shoot it off the bench before the next training session and post the results.

Great shape done install it thanks I would buy again picatinny rail

Does fit well and does not stay in place, moves under recoil. Since I filed on it make it fit I wouldn't return it. So I used permatex gasket material to attach it to a 1911. It doesn't move under recoil now.

Sadly I don't believe this product was made for just any 1911,I own a 1911-A1-FS and it has trouble seating flush,plus the screws are not made to take much if any preasure.make sure when adding to your firearm that you are prepared to drill this sucker off.

The screws stripped immediately and the first time i shot it it fell apart and wouldn't go back together. Amazon wont let me return this item either for some reason so i am stuck with it. Im not sure if mine broke because it was defective or if all of them are like this but i will not be trying another one.
