Introducing the RIA 5.0E – the latest evolution in the RIA-USA series, where the “E” stands for enhanced. I took this updated gun to the firing line at Industry Day at the Range during SHOT Show 2024.
This firearm brings a host of improvements designed for practical customization and an elevated shooting experience, including a low bore axis, additional slide serrations, and sighting system changes.
Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the RIA 5.0E is not just a gun; it’s a tool built for performance without unnecessary embellishments.
Enhanced Features
The RIA 5.0E is equipped with new optics cuts and plates, providing shooters with the freedom to customize their firearm easily. Unlike the old model, this RIA 5.0E comes with both an optic cut (RMS-C and RMR plate) and a set of irons with a blacked-out rear and fiber optic front sight.
The old model only came with the optic mount OR iron sights. The updated 4.91″ barrel, crafted with improved materials and slightly different slide geometry, enhances the overall performance of the system. Aggressive serrations on the slide facilitate easier manipulation, offering a practical touch with nice aesthetics.
Adding to its visual appeal with attitude, the RIA 5.0E boasts an upgraded elite-series Cerakote finish. The firearm combines improved functionality with a sleek and modern aesthetic, making it stand out.
