My new RIA Longslide!!!

[SemperFi1977m]

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:D

Congrats Lonnie!!! I wonder how you got so lucky my friend!!!:D:D

Martin said that since they were not supposed to be made until 2013 that you are to send it to me ASAP, I will be waiting for it to arrive!!!:D

Man Lonnie I did not know the details on the LS.

What a find, congrats. Clyde

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.

Congrats - that's a beauty. I've never shot an RIA 1911 - but there seems to be a lot of happy folks using them - and you can't beat the price! Is there a downside?
