RIA Compact Range Report
I'll have a couple of pictures when I get to a place where I can post 'em (didn't happen otherwise, right?) Anyway, I can safely say, that was the best $400 I've ever spent. Period. I am extremely pleased with this little gun, and expect it to take a prominent position in my carry rotation.
Well done RIA... Lane

Pictures...
Here's some pictures from my therapy session today...
Here's the first 5 rounds - at 3 yards: And here's the next 10 rounds - at 5 yards: I was shooting two different loads today - one using Clays' powder and one using Power Pistol. The PP load is much snappier. And, as I collected and inspected brass, I noticed a couple of cases are mangled: I collected three of them - almost identically mangled. It looks like they might be getting hung up whilst being ejected. Other than some brass being rendered unusable - it was a fantastic range visit. I'm very happy with my new purchase, and suspect there are more Rocks in my future. Lane

Usually - but sometimes it just takes a bit more...

Thanks for the range report.
I plan to spend some quality time fondling full sized and compact tactical RIAs this weekend for a future purchase. I'm leaning more toward the full sized at this point.
