Rock Island branded. Cheap, but any good?
Anybody have one?

Someone here had one a couple years ago. I thought of Ethan Edwards for some reason.
I bet they are at least as good as Taurus. Probably better, if my RIA 1911 is any example.

Thanks Barry. I have a Taurus .357 with a 6" barrel.
I like it fine, just not for carrying around.

The ones made by Alfa Proj in Czech Republic are ok. I had 9mm Luger, it functioned as intended w/o problems.

Now I realize you are asking about one made in Philippines. Sorry, I do not have any experience with those.

Anybody have one? I've seen some reviews that were good. Never saw a bad review.

I had some positive interactions with MrGunsnGear at the High Road Forums. His assessments are objective and very credible.

SIL has the 4" model. Nothing fancy and not crazy about cylinder release, but shoots fine.

I've got the Model 200 4" model. Good gun, and shoots good.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

I have the 4 inch version. Not a bad gun at all other than being ugly. Even though its a colt copy colt grips will not work on it.

It may work but why not buy a nicer revolver? Unless you plan to beat the snot out of it a nicer gun will better retain value and you’ll have some pride in ownership in the meantime.
Just my .02

Well, I love S&W, & Colt. I would never consider a Taurus, never mind a junk RIA. But, I guess poor folks got to have guns.

Just my .02 Sometimes a cheaper gun that shoots reliably is just what the doctor ordered. I have a couple of those Ruger Wrangler 22's that I keep loaded with snake shot for killing copperheads around the ranch here. Keep one by the front door, and one in the shop. Nothing to gain by buying a more expensive pistol for that. I have a cheaper AR for a truck and tractor rifle too.
