I recently got a RIA Tactical in 9mm that I love. The stock grips are total crap, meaning slippery, but i think the package is a steal. Another $70 to VZ grips for slimline operator 2's (and associated hardware) and front strap grip tape and your good 2 go. I bought one MecGar and one Colt magazine from Midway that work 100% so far.

The first 3 or so mags had some FTE's but not one stoppage since then. I've found out that it seems to hate PMC bronze ammo, but it chews up anything else. All FTE's were with that ammo.

A bunch of favorable (mostly) reviews here....
