It is interesting. 1911 grip angle and optics ready with an aluminum frame. The integrated rear sight in the optic cover plate will put some off as it may make sight changes difficult with irons and doesn't allow co-witness for an optic.
But, they are setting out in a new direction and I give them props for not generating yet another poly gun

If they are around $450 or less I might be interested in trying them out. I've read more and they are basically a Glock Gen 3 is what I've been reading but with a 1911 grip angle. If they are as reliable as a glock an are self defense accurate I'd be willing to test one out. If primers ever get back to around $40 per 1k I'd load up 1k and run it through it in a few days. Give it a cleaning and lube it, then run it 1k rounds no cleaning and see how reliable it is. I sure love the polymer coated bullets for tests like this. So much easier to clean the barrel afterwards.
Interesting! The poly-coated bullets make that much of a difference in fouling overall or just when huge quantities are fired?
When I use coated bullets I normally do not have anything to clean other than carbon fouling out of the barrel. They are fantastic imo. I use Hoosier Bullets and Summit City bullets both are good to go. I've not found any lead fouling in my barrels from these two companies. 50rds or 1000 rds they are very clean to shoot. They say they help will barrel life as well.
Finally found one for sale in stock to get a price on them. $499. I think we can give it a few more months and they become more available the price should be around $450

I just watched the video and was thinking maybe ?
I must say I love our RIA GI 45 FS .

Id try it. Nice to see something that’s not a polymer micro 9 hit the market but still somewhat boring cloning the Glock platform. The aluminum frame has peaked my interest though. I got ideas already...
I didn't catch if you can use Glock Gen 3 barrels in it. I think I read most glock parts fit it.
Reason I ask is the last video it says the barrel twist rate doesn't like anything but 115gr.
He says in the video that the Glock barrels don't fit.
Well that's a big fail
Major disappointment. Maybe they well get back to the drawing board and come out with a version 2 that actually works with glock barrels. Until they fix the turn rate and or have the ability to use glock barrels I'm not interested. All I shoot is 124-147gr. If they keyhole I don't want it.
At this point, a company could make a grip frame and slide out with their own design and utilize all a Glock aftermarket parts for the internals and you’d be able to build from scratch. I guess it’s already doable with things like CCF Raceframes and Brownell’s slides and such...
