RIA Compact Range Report
 

I'll have a couple of pictures when I get to a place where I can post 'em (didn't happen otherwise, right?) Anyway, I can safely say, that was the best $400 I've ever spent. Period. I am extremely pleased with this little gun, and expect it to take a prominent position in my carry rotation.

Well done RIA...

Good deal Lane, I am glad that you are happy with it.:)

That is Good to hear Lane, but weren't you suppose to be at work and not at the Range????????? Did you tell your wife where you were going??????????

I needed therapy in a bad way. Between 2 hours late yesterday and 2 hours this morning with a customer screaming, bitching and yelling - I needed some serious range time. 200 rounds of .45ACP later, I'm doing better.

I thought leather work was your therapy Lane?

Pictures...
 

Here's some pictures from my therapy session today...

Here's the first 5 rounds - at 3 yards:


And here's the next 10 rounds - at 5 yards:


I was shooting two different loads today - one using Clays' powder and one using Power Pistol. The PP load is much snappier. And, as I collected and inspected brass, I noticed a couple of cases are mangled:


I collected three of them - almost identically mangled. It looks like they might be getting hung up whilst being ejected.


Other than some brass being rendered unusable - it was a fantastic range visit. I'm very happy with my new purchase, and suspect there are more Rocks in my future.

Usually - but sometimes it just takes a bit more... :D

Thanks for the range report.

I plan to spend some quality time fondling full sized and compact tactical RIAs this weekend for a future purchase. I'm leaning more toward the full sized at this point.
