In case you decide this is the model you want to look for, the "A" in RIA stands for Armory, not Arsenal. Wonderful pistols. The Tactical version, which already has a beaver-tail, ambi-safety, and Novak sights, can often be found for around $400 NIB. I gave $418 + tax late last year for mine. Better deals than mine can be found, but I didn't want to mess with shipping a firearm, and I like to keep my money local as often as I can. Besides, cash deals are harder for the wife to track down .
Remember, in a life-or-death situation, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Are you accepting pointers to offers? CDNN has three or four Beretta 96s in .40, about half a dozen Glock 22s (.40), and about half a dozen Glock 23s (also .40), all for sale for under (well under in some cases) $400. Some of them have night sights. The are of course used, one or two factory rebuilds, I believe all the rest are listed as "excellent" (eye of the beholder and all that, but still, Glocks are pretty rugged), and I think all have one extra mag (I am too lazy to go look up the email to doublecheck). Prices good thru monday.
Note: I don't have any connection to CDNN except as an occasional customer; but I've noted they regularly have some pretty good deals, wish I had more discretionary $$ right now, I'd grab a couple just because...
Pick up a nice CZ in .40 caliber or 9mm. You may spend an additional 45 or 50 bucks over the 400. but it will be the best handgun money you've ever spent!
