Rock Island Armory Introduce New RIA 5.0 Pistol -
Rock Island Armory have introduced a new pistol, the RIA 5.0. The new RIA 5.0 is a 9x19mm with some very interesting features.

It's Rock Island Armory USA, not RIA/Armscorp Philipines, made in Utah and designed by the guy who came up with the .22 TCM. Anyway, to me it looks like someone put a CZ slide on a 2011-style two-piece frame and used a new square barrel design with a unique lockup. Also kinda looks like the Hudson H9. From a video review I watched, it had a consistent 2lb 4oz trigger pull, every single test was the same result, 2lb 4oz instead of going up and down. Internal hammer I'm sure helps with that.
Regardless of what anyone thinks of RIA, I love seeing new innovations and would love to put my hands on one of these at the range.
