I’ve seen articles on this gun before. Very interesting concerning.

 

If you look at all the advertising, not one person has a good grip where the tang is actually function in the web of the hand...

If that matters or not, it just shows how a high hold isn't likely and it's pretty clear when you start looking at it.

 

The grip tang is significantly higher than the trigger. You'd have to slant the grip back quite a bit to get the shooter's hand aligned with both points.

 

This was the 5.0 when it came out earlier. Similar but not the slide cuts.

 

The grip angle looks... unnatural.

 

1911'sh angle.

 

Well, it's certainly a better buy than the original that wasn't even that old yet but i doubt these will ever cross the atlantic (still waiting if the DW DWX ever gets here too)

 

Do you mean going from USA to foreign lands?

 

I have yet to see one anywhere

 

They said ... it is their Mona Lisa.
I do not know why, but found this funny -- never thought to hear that from a marketing of a hand gun

 

Hopefully these will be around. I’d like to check one out.

 

Such an interesting and innovative design. I love this style of pistol and it looks to be built like a tank. The review below is great and has a good break down so you can see how well this is machined inside.

 

I really hope the 5.0 takes off. RIA first U.S. made piece. I like it’s design! Jmho

 

Hasn’t so far

I definitely want to get my hands on this new one at some point.

 

Well I hope RIA makes it in .22 TCM and 10mm. I feel like if the design tames recoil, then they should kick it up the notch (pun intended) and, show us how 10mm underwood at 750 lbf holds that red dot.

And a side note, it sucks that RIA has not SAAMIed .22 TCM round. Keeping to the themselves hurt the cartridge, and the consumers.

 

Well nobody cares about 22TCM and the gun would need a complete redesign for 10mm. Don’t see either happening.

I’d bet most that have RIA TCM/9 shoot 9 for multiple reasons.
I think the 5.7 FN will only do better marginally than the TCM because a bigger company pushed it. Both very much a niche cartridge.
If I want a fast 22 I have ARs to chose from.

 

Kinda funny that this optic read is an updated version...to a version that was never released....

(yes reviewers got it, but it was never sold)

 

You are 100%

Almost everyone talking bore axis miss it's relation to the trigger finger. So no, the CZ design is not low bore, it's a non taller slide. My CZ Shadow 2(s) aligns if not higher than most because the frame is so much larger. How tall the slide is 50% of the equation, frame being the other 50%.

However, here the RIA grip tang is almost worthless. A swooping tang that increases positive grip can't be above your thumb web. Totally useless as it is designed. On paper and their own advertising anyways.

I don't think anyone is saying grip tang hold is not important to a firm grip, so I think this is an immediate questionable grip.

RIA advertisement shows shooters grip well below the RIA's pistol tang....No fixing that on this design.

 

Lol

 

 

Definitely looking forward to getting my hands on one

 

I want one mostly for the novel action

feel like the grip angle should've been more agressive though

 

Yeah hearing mixed reviews

Looking forward to trying it out.

 

Most "low bore axis" guns points too high for me. I avoid them.

 

That is a lack of training issue, not a gun issue.

 

I’m not paying $2K for RIA anything.

 

Well they sell in the $1600-$1700 range.

and I hear you, but this isn’t a typical RIA pistol.

 

seems like it could be a positive Service pistol,, recoil wise.. sure, a range gun, not a CC pistol. wonder if it goes to bidding at any LE Agencies...
