went by the lgs after a range session and saw a RIA 5.0E. i never had a chance to see the first version which i was quite interested in around a $1000. the gun looks nice. it does have a huge RIA5.0E at the side. racking the slide is smooth. the trigger feels fairly light but i wouldn't call the reset short. more like medium. finish was great. not so sure about the grip, felt ok in the hand but the grip panels are flat without any significant palm swell( like a shadow 2). the angle of the trigger finger given where you put the web of your hand is similar to shooting a revolver with the web of the hand at the top of the backstrap. i would never consider buying one at close to 2k but it was priced at 1600 which piqued my interest given the square barrel, hidden hammer and just being different.
the takedown is complicated from what I've seen.
anyone with real experience with one? i am googling ria 5.0E issues/problems and haven't gotten any hits but that may just be due to not having enough samples in people's hands.
