RIA 6" long-slide match
« on: February 28, 2009, 07:47:02 AM »
Anyone familiar with this pistol?  I just found one in the local trader's guide, $635.  Not for serious social work, just a plinker and target gun.

my standard g.i. model is accurate enough to keep them in the 9 ring all the time. if its better than that it would be a good one. I'd offer a 100 less than asking and see were it goes.

I think the new price on them is around $750 or so, they have a bull barrel with no bushing.
They are pretty much top of the line for RIA.

Wow, I glad I bought my Rock 1911A2 when I did. It's gone up over two hundred bucks since then. I tell you, I'm more pleased with this Rock then the Match Elite Witness I bought at the same time. The witness out shoots it definitely, but not by a whole bunch. The Witness will punch 2.5" groups, while the much cheaper Rock runs 3.5-4", both at 15 yards. I'm surprised and pleased by the RIA product.
