 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at another first look review on a rock island armory revolver called the Al 9.0 and the 9 stands for 9 millimeter. It's a 9 millimeter Revolver that carries six rounds in the cylinder now my comfort level with revolvers is 38 special 357 Magnum and that's what this is. I reviewed this a couple weeks ago. It's a rock island armory Al 3.1 and many people liked it You know you can see that it does have some nice qualities these two guns have some similarities and differences But I like that 38 special so it makes you ask yourself Why would somebody want a revolver chambered in 9 millimeter? Well, many people like their firearms to share a common caliber. That's quite common where they say, you know I've got a semi-auto. I've got a carbine all in 9 millimeter I want that revolver in 9 millimeter for that reason It's also less expensive and extremely light recoil especially with a big hunk of steel like this So that's why I think a lot of people would like it plus it's a lot of fun I took it to the range already. It's shot extremely well now It does carry six rounds and it does have moon clips available so that it can be easily ejected when you Eject the cases but when I brought this to the range, I forgot the moon clips And so I was pretty pleased though because even though the ejector did not grab a hold of the case All I had to do is shake this Cylinder and then the cases went flying out But let's take a look at that cylinder because it's a little odd look in there. All right made for And those moon clips to be inserted which can also be used as a speed loader by the way You put this in your pocket like this and it's you know those rounds are they should not pop out of the moon clip But anyways here it is it shares some common common features with the 357 model first off you can see the grip right does have those bumps on there that are they're pretty nice They're not aggressive the rubber grip slight finger grooves. It does have a nice feel and that's one thing I really liked about that was that grip it tamed some of that 357 recoil not worried too much about that with this but it is comfortable three inch barrel Really raised up front sight with an orange insert and adjustable rear sights Which is nice? Especially compared to that tunnel sight, you know and these are They're similar, but this is a snub nose. All right. This is you know a good carry gun I don't know how many people that would carry this they take to the range maybe stash it in the truck You know put it on the nightstand Those would all be decent ways to use this revolver. You see that it does have a full under lug there shrouded ejector rod Already showed six rounds in the cylinder and the double action trigger pull is a pretty standard Double action revolver trigger pull. It's right around 11 to 12 pounds But the single action the website says four to six and a half pounds. I am measuring Just a hair over four pounds quite consistently Short little pull there just over four pounds. You can see it does have the transfer bar safety right there And there's your hammer it's bird hammer Definitely does the trick well If we look at the internals, we'll see that you know, you got your firing pin here the timing hand And the bolt stop Right there And there's the yoke We've got the ejector simple setup chambered in nine millimeter And I know how to people they are on the nine millimeter train And some people would say that I am too, you know, it's like, oh, you know, you feature a lot of nine millimeters Well, I've been featuring a lot of 357s lately and I certainly enjoy it Here is the unloaded weight two pounds one and seven eighths ounces. We move that to just ounces 33 and seven eighths ounces. But here we have some self-defense loads And a speed loader or a moon clip and the loaded weight with six rounds 36 and one quarter ounce. So that's what you're looking at With this al 9.0 it's a nice revolver. It's certainly quality made. It's made in the Czech Republic All right, both these are and another one by the way, keep your eyes open for another one rock island is Is getting these in they're getting them in from the Czech Republic a lot of people feel confident with that And this was a nice shooter. This was a nice shooter and keep your eyes open for another one coming in But this is the one feature today. It's a first look review Called the ria Al 9.0 that's a mouthful But it certainly feels comfortable and a well shooting handgun at the range If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share.
