I at last bought my Rock River Arms PDS Piston Driven System pistol through my favorite nearest transfer dealer. I have been saving up my firearm funds for about a 12 month period since it was launched in early 2010. I have not had a opportunity to shoot the PDS yet, but I have been accumulating several extras for the PDS pistol while I was saving my funds. Here are the specific features as delivered through my on-line dealer from RRA

Caliber: Rem .223/ 5.56 NATO for 5.56mm & .223 cal., Upper Receiver: Proprietary, with Extended Top Rail, Charging Handle: Proprietary Ambidextrous Non-Reciprocating, Barrel: 8" Chrome Moly, 1:9 twist, Muzzle Device: A2 Flashhider/ 1/2-28 Threads Per Inch, Trigger: Rock River Arms NM 2 Stage, Grip: Hogue Rubber Pistol Grip, Handguard: Injection cast, Ribbed, Magazine: 30 Round, Weight: 5 lbs, Overall Length: 17.5 in .

The RRA PDS Pistol has a retail price of $1385.00. I wound up buying it online for significantly less. Most dealers in my area wanted retail plus which did not set well with my financial position. After I get to the shooting range I am going to have some follow up information on accuracy and what ammo I will be using. I forgot to mention, the accessories I purchased was a Veridian green dot to mount on the rail just forward of the handguard and a Eotech 552. I don't know which kind of optic I will go with yet. No matter which way I am going, green laser or red dot, it will not be wasted because I possess a handful of Rock River Arms Weapons inside the safe that I'd love to try either on. I'm off to the shooting range….
