On one of my RIAs, a compact, the receiver is actually pretty good but the slide is awful in just about every way imaginable. I put a Kimber compact 22 slide on the receiver and that combination is very close in size and weight to my Sig Ultra Compact 45 carry gun. (RIA w/22 slide has aluminum slide and steel frame, and Sig has steel slide and aluminum frame). I then completed the build with an extended magwell and G10 grips similar to the ones on the Sig. So I can take the RIA/Kimber (RImber?) to the range and shoot a bunch of 22 ammo through it, then seamlessly switch over to the SIG which feels exactly the same.
 Every once in a while I kind of forget why the RIA slide is awful and put it back on and take it to the range and immediately remember why I don't shoot it. Maybe I should get a Caspian slide for it.

An oddity with the RIA compact that I cannot understand. Although it is a full 3/4 pound heavier (42% heavier) than the aluminum frame Sig Ultra Compact, it has more felt recoil than the Sig. That seems to defy the laws of physics.

So do I. Never had an issue with either of mine. One of them I intend to give to my niece whenever she sends me her DL info.
