New this year from RIA USA is an American designed, American-made pistol with a lot of unique features: The 5.0 Pistol in 9x19mm.  We got a chance to shoot this smooth operator at SHOT 2023 Industry Day at the Range.  Let’s take a closer look:

Converting .308 Winchester gas guns to 6.5 Creedmoor is normally just a matter of barrel change. No wonder why every time a company introduces an AR10 pattern gun, it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll be offering it in .308 Win and 6.5 CM. Well, the .277 Fury has the same case head and overall length dimensions as the .308 and 6.5 so it was only a matter of time before SIG announced versions of their MCX Spear chambered in these cartridges. At a SIG Sauer range event hosted in Clark County Shooting Complex, we had a chance to take a look at and shoot the SIG Sauer MCX Spear in 6.5 Creedmoor.
