I have several Rock Island Armory 1911’s. I have always liked them and found that they had a lot of custom features and good accuracy at a reasonable price. When I got the chance to shoot their new striker fired gun, the STK100, I jumped at it. I found it innovative and fun to shoot and I think you might like it too.

Rock Island Armory’s AL9.0 9mm Revolver: An Elegant Weapon From a More Civilized Age
Published: June 28, 2020 { 20 comments }Rock Island Armory’s AL9.0 is a six-shot revolver. The surprising part is that it is chambered in 9mm. The steel frame gives weight to the gun and the low recoil of 9mm makes it pleasant to shoot.
New VRBP100 Semi-Auto Bullpup 12ga From Rock Island Armory – NRA 2019
Published: April 28, 2019 { 16 comments }A bullpup shotgun offers more maneuverability in close quarters and competition situations. I think it’d be interesting to hunt with a super short weapon, as well, for fast target acquisition and less fatigue from carrying a long gun. Rock Island Armory’s new VRBP100 is just 32″ overall but maintains a full 20″ of barrel length for accuracy.

Sneak Peek New Products 2014
Published: November 21, 2013 { 21 comments }SHOT Show may be still over a month away, but there are several distributor shows before SHOT where the new products for the year sometimes start to leak out. Here are a few that we found that seemed interesting, and that aren’t any info-embargo until 2014. Some of them are actually available now, or soon, so if you see something that you’d like to be one of the first owners of, be sure to ask your local gun dealer to get in touch with their distributors for a pre-order. We hope that 2014 will not be as crazy as 2013, because 2013, though very busy for guns, saw an unprecedented attack on our 2nd Amendment rights, and one that we barely escaped from unscathed. Going into SHOT Show last year was really scary, and President Obama actually gave his gun control address on the 2nd day of SHOT, that Wednesday morning. Hopefully that stuff is over for now, and we can just enjoy all of the new and useful guns and gun gear for 2014. Stay tuned for reviews of some of these products below, and we’ll again be bringing you two weeks of live coverage from the SHOT Show 2014 floor, with our host, Julie Mac.
