Rock Island Armory Introduces New RIA 5.0 Pistol

[Waher]

It's like a CZ had a fling in Moscow with the ultra low bore axis Kalashnikov pistol.

Should be an interesting range gun, but at 39 ounces empty not many people will carry it.

(Yes, I love 1911s. Don't point out the irony.)

It does put it into perspective when a 92fs is like 33 empty

Meh, lift some weights.

C more seems beatable.

It's embarrassing that RIA is being more creative, or at least copying better competitor's ideas, than S&W at this point.

This is like every time someone tries to complain that appendix is for skinny people.

There are lots of ergonomic problems you can't do anything about - this one (usually) ain't it.

The bore axis doesn't look any lower than a CZ75. At that weight, they are calling it a sporting pistol. Not a carry pistol. It is because of the weight that the recoil is tamed a little. Not the bore axis...

Personally i do cock pushups

I bet they release something in a few months after tn is setup

 

[Blackmore]

Is "buttery" the new "minty"?

You never know when you will need to f*ck your way out of a situation.

 

[slap shot]

Personally i do cock pushup(s)

one is enough...

Can this 5.0 come with a Mormon Filipina wife instead of the optic?

Well, the bore axis helps, just as it does on the CZs.

As for the RIA 5.0, I really don’t know what else they’ve done internally. They mention barrel mass and linear movement, but show no internal workings. It does look like they’re leaning on increased frame mass below the end of the barrel.

Interesting I guess. But what would be the appeal of an RIA over just going for a CZ75? Or any of the clones (Tanfoglio, Jericho etc.)

Magazine availability would be another plus for any of the CZ (or clones).

RIA does some interesting stuff but an MSRP of just under 1k seems like they've undercut themselves. The big appeal to RIA was being cheaper than the supposed competition not priced close to them.

Some people don't like cz 75 style triggers... some reason i get a lot of slap from them

Don't need the unnecessary complexity of that design either. Although this one is unique in its own right
