I like it. The review did not explain it---it is not "Glock-like" it is a Glock clone ....
- 99% of parts are interchangeable. Handgun Review: The Rock Island Armory STK100 | Field & Stream (fieldandstream.com)
It is the same as a Glock 17, except 8 ounces heavier, not a big deal if you are carrying a full size gun anyway. Will it wear better than a Glock frame that have been shown to still be fine after 200,000 rounds? Probably not but who cares,
It comes optic ready a nice option for people who cannot see open sights or just like something battery powered on top of the gun. A small light on the rail and an optic make for a nice gun at night on the farm. A laser would make shooting skunks in the dark even easier, have done that a dozen times, they come to my security light to eat bugs.
One of beatifies of these simplistic designs is the gun fits 90% of everybody as is. No new grips or sights or anything needed. Just stick it in a holster or night stand, put bullets in it and you are good to go. Maybe fire 200 rounds through it to test reliability and forget about it. I have a Glock 19 that I carry for other people. It goes on trips.
If my wife or other family member shows up in the boonies without a gun, they can carry it or at least everyone knows where it is and that it shoots 15 times without a reload. Pure function that anybody can use. This one is the same only heavier, not a big deal. Been thinking about adding another Glock to the herd, may get this one.
I have RIA 1911s and use their frames in guns that I build. I have zero concern about their quality. They make more 1911s than anyone on the planet, never heard of a bad one. I am even thinking about one of those 9mm clip fed revolvers mentioned above. Never cared for moon clip fed guns until I got a SW Governor, now I like em. RIA is getting to be a top gun maker in my view.
