I have looked at a few of them.........hmmmm.Been there. 10mm is such a bad ass round.
Speaking from a place of ignorance I’d avoid the RIA doublestack. To me it’s the best of both worlds but maybe too good to be true. Full disclosure, never owned, shot, or even fondled one an RIA (could be a fine pistol). My concern would be the reliability of the magazine and suitable alternatives. A friend of mine bought a para double stack .45. After having some FTFs he did some research and found that the magazines can be finicky. I don’t know if he ordered new ones or worked over the old ones but he did get it running like a top. Could be a one-off or it could be a thing. Just don’t imagine seeing a lot of doublestack 10 mags out there.
Not to throw gas on your fire but have you seen the new P220s in 10m? Action Arms in Tulsa had a few the other day.
I’ve got a Glock 40 and the RIA 10mm 6” double stack. The RIA is much more fun to shoot. It’s a cupcake really. I hate to even say this, but it’s been 100% reliable. I would totally recommend it. The Glock isn’t bad and is much cheaper, though.
