Rock River Arms guns...how are they?

Anyone have any experience/knowledge on how well RRA guns are built, particularly how well their barrels are fitted?

They are great

Myself and a lot of other people seem to do OK with them.

A guy that shoots one in local 2700 seems pretty darn impressed with his.  He was a bit bummed that it was made according to the slightly more old school rules that didn't allow a beavertail grip safety, however it looks good and he likes it!

they have gone up in prize since they have come back on the market.

I really like that they were at Perry supporting their shooters.

Very classy.

Picked up a Rock River Hardball. It has excellent fit and a very crisp trigger.  My scores have gone up.

I would pick them over a Les Baer , I hear the wait at one time was crazy but if they are holding to their word they are nice.

If I had to do it all over again I would not make a big investment until I shot over 270/300 in my league NMCs. Spend the money on a 22lr and try a few out.

Range officer or an STI Trojan with a good trigger job and a tight EGW bushing will take you to master level. I scored a guy with an RO that shoot 2600.

Maybe he got the luck of the draw with his barrel but they are good enough for not a lot of money.

I got a new RRA 1911 earlier this year before Nationals.  I live in the area and had a few choices for locally made pistols (SA, LB and RRA).  Mark Z. did a great job on my pistol.  I had it at Perry and it would barely pick up 3.5lbs and I didn't like being that close in case someone shaky had to weigh my trigger on the line.  I took it in to RRA on vendor row and Mark checked it and added just a touch.  Great support. 

Below is a picture of my pistol and the test target.  I'm not sure why RRA doesn't use an NRA target, but for reference I measured the diameter of the "10" ring to be 1.5" (slightly smaller than an outdoor X ring).  I haven't had the time to put it in a rest with my reloads, but it always shoots on call.  I hope to make it to the range this fall and get some groups with my ammo now that most of the outdoor matches are done.

I'm building a RRA from scratch for a customer now. Older/early frame and slide that have never been touched. Has some strange dimensions I've encountered during the build but going to be an outstanding pistol. I had a chance to look at one in 2013 at Perry (new one that belonged to a friend) and barrel fit was really good.

I bought a used RR wad gun and it didn't shoot very well. I sent it to Dave Salyer and he said he had never seen a pistol with that many rounds through it. He rebuilt it for me an now it is my favorite wad gun. I ransomed it at 43yds and it shot a 7/8" group.

Okay, the last one doesn't seem to count. If it's had million rounds through it, I'd hardly think that's a fair indication of build quality.

In the hand of dstates his Rock River is incredibly consistent.
