Rock Island Armory’s new 5.0 sporting pistol, which promises revolutionary performance, was featured at SHOT Show. This is due to the carefully engineered trigger system, soft shooting RVS recoil and other features. For a flatter shooting experience, the bore axis is deeper. The RIA 5.0 is an aluminum frame with a polymer grip. This allows for greater flexibility and the control and durability that comes with a full-length aluminum receiver. This improves ergonomics and recoil control. The RVS (Ram Valve System), recoil system was designed to maximize barrel mass, linear movement, and other aspects. The RIA 5.0 allows for faster follow-up shots and target acquisition. The 9mm chambered outer barrel measures 4.91 inches in length and does not have a tilting lock-up. Shrouded internal hammers ensure that the pistol does not snag while being drawn. The company claims that the 5.0 features a carefully engineered trigger system that allows for smooth pulls. The trigger does not stack, which aids in accuracy. The RIA 5.0 does not support ambidextrous use and is designed for right-handed users. The dust cover is full-length and includes a five-slot Picatinny Rail for accessories. It currently has a special release with serial numbers 1 through 100. These models are equipped with a CMORE RTS II red dots optic. There are also 100 additional models available with iron sights. Particularly, the Dawson Precision fiber optic dovetail front and rear sight and the LAP adjustable dovetail back sight. Martin Tuason is the President and CEO of Armscor/Rock Island Armory. “The RIA 5.0” is truly an engineering marvel. It’s a highly shootable sporting pistol with a well-engineered trigger system. We are proud to say that it is entirely made in the United States of America. Availability The RIA 5.0 pistol is now available with a MSRP of $998.88. Armscor.com has more information.
