    Bling Bling: RIA 38 Super

    finally got my RIA 38super out of jail earlier today...man this thing is shiny



    thing was covered in so much oil...so once i got home...

    i proceeded to field strip and wipe off ALL the excess oil from the gun


    im actually quite surprised to see how well the machining on this gun looked, the feed ramp and bbl looked to have been polished from the factory as well


    im sure it still has room for improvement, but thats not too shabby from the company that makes $500 1911s

    tbc...

    after relubing and wiping her down ready for tomorrows shoot


    so far so good, only thing that looks sketchy is the 38super magazine that came with the gun, looks to be a bit cheap...but we'll see how the gun runs tomorrow, i plan on running 150rds of Armscor 38super cartridges

      Sweet nice looking gun. Are you gonna keep her .38 Super or convert to 9MM?
      Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.

        Looks sweet!!! My next 1911 will hopefully be nickel (maybe even the RIA).... if not, a stainless.

            Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

              for now 38super i bought quite a few rounds from Armscor lol, but i will eventually convert to 9mm since i plan to shoot a lot to keep the cost down

                  Make sure to keep the .38 super brass even if you don't currently reload. You could sell it to someone who does and recover a few bucks.

                  Remember to dial 1 before 911.

                  Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.

                  There. Are. Four. Lights!

                      I have the same gun. I replaced the grips with black rubber ones and put a 9mm barrel. Great gun. Accurate and reliable and it looks like a Cuban drug dealers gun!
