It will be interesting to hear more feedback on them after they've been out a while longer.

Hmmm.  I am way under budget on the house project, and due a new "toy".

I might have to watch these.

What is the consensus on these? Reliable? Any particular "must have" upgrades or things to watch for?

These are pretty new and not "mainstream" (other than the G20 and older 10xx series not much in 10mm is mainstream). I had been on the waiting list from a local deal until the crappy NY SAFE Act passed then was dropped. Ill have to wait for the law to be amended or changed before I can purchase it due to the magazine capacity.

In general it is pretty new, but RIA/Armscor has a big presence in the US in 45 Auto 1911's, and the 1911 has proven to be a pretty solid platform for 10mm overall.

They have the major points covered with this gun.  Ramped, fully supported barrel/chamber.  The bull barrel and FLGR are nice touches and add extra weight out at the end to help with recoil.

About the only things I would change if one appears at my house are the firing pin block and the thumb safety.

What type of firing pin block ... grip controlled (like Kimber's "Series II")?  That's what I like about my Kimber the most!

Wow! Looks restocked which is a good sign. I think if I wanted a 10mm right now I would opt for one too.

Not the firing pin safety...the stop.  I would put in an when oversized with the bottom edge barely radiused at all.
