Talking My new RIA Longslide!!!

RIA Match Railed Longslide in .45
Stainless bull barrel, adjustable rear sight, fiber-optic front sight

I was informed by Martin, the CEO of RIA, that only 35 of these went to market and that he did not greenlight the project, so they weren't even supposed to have gone out. I lucked into seeing them and bought the very last one Centerfire Systems had!

He also said this pistol was completely hand-fitted, instead of going through the normal manufacturing line! Man am I stoked to get her out and see how she performs

Thanks guys! I love this pistol!

Dug around in the parts drawer today and found enough stuff to ditch the plastic msh, ambi-safety, and factory grips. The msh needs reparked, but it will due until I decide if I like the pistol set up this way. I have a nice extended mag release that came out of my Ruger that's made of bar-stock steel...so it may get swapped in after I order a catch lock for it.
