Armscor and its Rock Island Armory brand of handguns have been branching out in recent years from their 1911-based roots. First came the striker-fired STK100 with its aluminum frame and Glock magazine compatibility. That was followed in the 2023 by the square-barreled RIA 5.0 competition-ready pistol. It's another big year for Rock Island Armory , as both lines get updates with the “E” for enhanced, optic-ready RIA 5.0E, as well as an extended family of STKs including an update to the full-size SKT100, the new compact STK200, and the hybrid STK150. Joe Kurtenbach gets the full scoop from Martin Tuason at SHOT Show 2024.
