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

Even though I've been making fun, I think that realistically we ("gun aficionados", like all us here at Calguns) are probably not the intended sales market for this item.

I do think that the first time gun buyer might be sweettalked into one of these instead of a Glock for a price tag that's around $150 to $250 less than a glock.

Oh yeah, your absolutely correct on that and hell it probably won't be a bad firearm. Heck if I'm a new shooter and low on funds, it most likely will not be a bad choice.

Agree with the "sure is ugly" crowd. ... also partial to the"should shoot good" crowd ...in fact.. I feel strongly both ways!!

Looks closer to a Lone Wolf Timberwolf frame. The other "not a Glock".

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.

They did invent the .22TCM cartridge.

However, their pistols that use it are existing pistols that were just chambered for it.

Their 22TCM9R pistol is just a Tanfoglio (Italian) CZ75 clone chambered in .22TCM.

Who needs original? They made their mark making 1911 clones. Making Glock clones fits their strategy perfectly. 1911's used to be the top selling semi-auto. Now Glocks are the top selling semi-auto. So they make inexpensive clones of both. Makes perfect sense to me.

If it's priced around $200-ish we can think of it as a Glock priced like a Glock SHOULD be priced...

^^ this is correct. The RIA MAP (steel) and MAPP (polymer) are Tanfoglio brand of Italy clones. I have handled and shot the RIA MAP, and I think it is made really, really well. I was very impressed with the quality.

I do like their 1911's a lot too, it is probably the best value 1911 out there.

So, I am really perplexed about this Glock clone of theirs, it looks terrible!!

[mosinnagantm9130]

I didn't think it was possible to make glocks uglier...

[steelholder]

Wow theyre making polymer tokarevs now??

[Rainbow Warrior]

Why not name it the POS GLACK ?

Looks like a Glock and HS2000 hooked up and all of the recessive genes made an appearance in the child.
