Rock island armory's brand new pistol design looks a little familiar.

oh jeez..

Now we're gonna have to hear a bunch of people SWEAR these are just as good as real GLOCKs.

Well it is a low bar to compare to. Glock is the most overrated pistol around.

That gun looks like a little kid drew it

That makes a Hi Point look aesthetically pleasing.

While I like that manufacturers are making an effort to give us more choices, I really wished they would really put more thought into their designs.

This is one of those statements that is more true than it should be.

Saying that it's uglier than a Hi-Point though,
is a stretch, in my opinion.


One of the comments in the article said they were going for a 1911 grip angle and it might have a better than Glock factory trigger.
It doesn't look like it has the Glock safety trigger mechanism copied.

I'm going to bump this just one last time for the weekend crowd who might've not seen it earlier during the week.

[Cali-Shooter]

So it's a Glock copy with a 1911 style grip.

Interesting...

If it's as reliable as glock at less than half the price, then could be a real alternative to people on a budget. People considering the hi -point can save up a little more and get this.
RIA starting clones now, like Taurus. Just another way to make more money I guess.

[Tonyson]

It's still better looking than the Hi-Point C9.

[doggie]

Sure does look like a Block doesn't it.

[MrBlazito]

Has RIA ever made anything original?
I can't think of anything...

I believe they are the ones that came out with the 22TCM caliber round. And here is their new 22TCM9R pistol. Looks pretty original to me.

I've never been one to care or really comment much on the looks of a gun. If it gets the job done, it doesn't matter much to me what it looks like. But, that thing looks like a bag of dicks. I would cut them some slack if it was an original design, but the fact that all they seem to be able to do is rip off other people's ideas bothers the hell out of me.

[stormvet]

Well if they can sell budget 1911s at $500 (instead of around $800 like others).


Then they should be able to sell these for what amount?

$300?

Twofitty?


$199.99?

It would have to be pretty low, otherwise you could just buy your own Lonewolf lower and build it yourself.
