Default New RIA Officers Model

I was pretty impressed with the fit and finish of my first RIA so I decided to buy another one. It is an Officers model (not a true OM, because it has a bull barrel and is bushingless -which is my preference.)

Please not that I have a couple of labs and as such it is difficult to not have dog hair in my pics!

I have not shot it yet, and while it still represents good value is not as well fitted as my full size one. Also, the trigger on this one is heavier and exhibits a fair bit of creep, but still serviceable.







My biggest issue with the gun is the fit of the grip safety and msh. The barrel of this one exhibits a touch of sprining and the slide is not as tight as on the full size-clearanced for reliability. :wink:
Surprisingly this gun has a crowned barrel and is relieved for live shell ejection! :thumb:

LHS view of the grip safety fit.
