I'm a fan of Czech pistols, so I've been intrigued with the Alfa Proj. 9mm revolver since I first saw them a couple years ago. But not enough to pay retail for one. This RIA AL9.0 came available locally the other day, at a price that was very attractive, so it's now mine.
The fit and finish is surprisingly good for a revolver in this price range. Size wise it's similar to a S&W K frame, but with the heft of a Ruger, which I don't consider to be a bad thing. The trigger really isn't bad - it's just unnecessarily heavy. DA is a ridiculous 11 lb.s 6 oz., and SA comes in at 5 lb.s 2 oz. average. I'm the 3rd owner, so I'm pretty sure it's already been "broken in".
Aftermarket springs are non-existent, so my goal is to see if I can lighten it some with basic polishing of the internals.
