Quite a few threads on the RIA pistols here, you'll get opinions going both ways. Personally I own 2 , both are the original Tactical model, one in .45 and one in 9mm. Both have been great.

I have one in 10mm and so far it has been a good shooter. Only have 100 rounds down the pipe so it's still getting broke in.

Better than they used to be

Don't know anything about the RIA but love the 10mm. Have an EAA, S&W 1006, and my edc an STI 2011 Perfect 10 with a 6" barrel.

Like most all ria's , you will probably need to do some tuning to get a new to run well. Nothing big, polishing or possibly reshaping the feed ramp, mine had a large bur inside the spring plug that needed addressed, and as always a wilson combat spring kit is a great investment.

RI is a hit or miss deal. Never had one of their 10mm's, but currently own a Citadel 1911 in 9mm that is smooth as silk with a trigger that is 2nd to none! Had a 45 that was okay,, but just okay. Roll of the dice.

I'm pretty happy with my RIA 10mm. I've had it since Christmas and have a few hundred rounds through it. I wanted a 10mm and I could have gotten something much nicer. But as much as 10mm ammo costs I thought I could buy a lot of ammo for the extra $500 I would have spent on something else. Maybe I rolled the dice but I think I came out ahead. Fit and finsh is decent. And it shoots well.
