Rock Island Armory 9mm Revovler

[Buckeye63]

Looks like they are going to start importing Czech Republic made revovlers (Alfa-proj) ... Czechpoint USA were importing them at one time
Quality revolvers in 38spl , 357mag & 9mm

I am actually very interested in these.
I want the .38 Special with the hammer exposed both in snub and long barrel one.
Think its a 3-4" while thr snub is 1.75-2".
Think they'd make GREAT cabin/stoy away/tackle box guns. One for the pocket, one for small game.


A 9MM Revolver is appealing..I have SO much 9MM Brass and ammo already...only reason I am leaning the 9MM "full length" and 38 Snub. Versus the 38 Full length and the 357 snub.

I want the 9 mm snub. No special reason I just want it.

$600 MSRP? At the street prices these would be going for, I think I'd rather buy a Ruger or Charter 9mm revolver. I was kind of interested because a 9mm revolver is cool and I think with how 9mm is what it is, there'd be a big appeal to a 9mm revolver for more casual gun owners and shooters who don't own a revolver. If one were available for $300 and looked good, they'd buy one.

But $450 is getting kind of steep for a non S&W or Ruger revolver.

The .28 RIA I have is good and impressive given its price. I'd like to know why Rock Island isn't expanding their revolver manufacturing and instead seem to be interested in being an importer/distributor.

The Alfa-Proj revolvers .. ran in the $400's ... High quality guns ...
The new production Rugers SP101 and GP100 have been lacking in QC ..
The same can be said for S&W

If I were going to purchase a new 357mag Med or large frame today I would look hard at the Alfa-Proj ...

I'm not saying they're not quality revolvers for a 9mm, I'm just saying for the money an LCR is better. For the issues Ruger is having with their SP's and GP's, the LCR's seem immune to problems as I never hear of any issues with them.

For .357... if I didn't already have my Stratford Charters, I'd look at these.

I agree .. The Ruger LCR's are great !
I have one in 357mag.
And a older Charter Target 357mag .. Great revovler..
