Rock island arms is best known for churning out inexpensive (sort of) middle of the road quality guns. I own 3 1911s of theirs and they are all shooters but have had a few minor problems in the past. They actually do make some match quality guns that are very high end but don't get much press on them.
Their newest addition is getting favorable write ups from a couple different magazines and incorporates steel for all the main pressure parts and transitions to lighter metals and polymer to make up the rest of the pistol. It's supposed to be one of the softest shooting 9mms out there and comes with either target sights or a See More optic. It's major difference to other guns is it's square barrel! It holds 17+1 rounds weighs in at a little over 2# and has an advertised trigger pull out of the box @4#. The one write up that I read from American Handgunner claimed that the trigger broke nice and crisp at continuous 2#4oz. Another point of interest is that this pistol is made right here in the USA.
Most of their firearms are from the Philippians so that's interesting.
