Thanks, I'll take a look.

Well I've looked, haven't found nothing new. Oh well not a major thing and I had a feeling I wasn't going to like it so that's the way it goes

Nice looking pistol.

Thanks Xbonz, the problem is the location of the hole in the guide rod on the RI. Well like I said not a deal breaker, it will work at least till I start to loose strength in my hands.

I have the same problem with my ECO. Bend the tip of a paperclip just enough to catch the hole then fold it as flat and straight as possible.

Thanks, that's what I tried and it works, I'm just always looking for a better way. It works, but I guess I'll just never love it. This is going in my carry rotation and I will shoot it but not every week so it won't be to bad.

Rough grip ? I'm sure you know this but hit it ever so softly with some fine sand paper .

Nice pistol and I like the grips too. Lucky dog you are .

Supposedly works on other brand 3" bull barrels. Might be worth contacting them and see if they make one for the RIA
