When I saw this, my first thought was "That thing is fuck-ugly and there is no way anyone would use that outside of competition."
Read the G&A article, took a closer look. The concept is sound; same size as a Glock 34 with a brake slapped on to reduce muzzle flip. But some of the details are stupid as hell. I can't see anyone managing to rack the slide on something other than, say, their clothing with top slide serrations. Could certainly do so off of the RMR, but I'd be worried about breaking it off the slide. Minor concern in a life/death situation, but something to think about. Anyway. This would be an optimal setup for someone whose only weapon is their sidearm, say law enforcement.(Don't see any department allowing it, unless they're SWAT) My only concern would be trigger/action work, and the KKM barrel; that seems to be where reliability problems could be introduced, and I'm not a fan of trigger work on guns that I carry. I don't see much need for a match-grade barrel, either; the stock ones hold 2-3 inches for me at 25 yards. Has anyone attached a muzzle brake to a factory threaded barrel? That would seem to be the optimal setup, at least for me. |

I picture a 17 frame with a 19 or 26 slide with a muzzle brake and an rds.

Aftee reading about this new concept I decided to built one to use it as a range toy, but let me tell you I'm so impress about how flat it shoots, acquiring the rmr dot it's so easy, it quickly became one of my favorite so decided to carry and order an IWB JM custom that it will take some time to get to me, any of you guys carrying this bad boy I'm open to other suggestions on holsters

Since the comp works more efficiently with more velocity and pressure, how would a RS in .40S&W perform? Anyone tried it? If I wasn't strapped for cash, I'd get a LE trade in and do one myself

Didn't know there was a thread for this.
KE Arms Roland Special Pistol complete. Needs a Talon grip and I may switch to a magwell. Going to swap out to a lighter recoil spring that is more compatible with my reloads. Will be visiting We Plead the 2nd for a holster. 
With enormous KE magwell.

Was wanting to put an RMR on my G19. Saw the Roland Special information and decide to go that way.
So I created my Roland Special, Texas/Suarez Rendition. Took it to the range and was pleased with the performance. If I did my my part, at 30 feet I was able to keep 5-10 shots within 2 inches I decided I need more range time
Glock 19 Gen 4 OEM internals, polish job on trigger bar (from G17 Gen 4), connector ("."), firing pin safety. KKM Precision -Roland Special- Glock Match Drop in Barrel with Compensator Suarez V3 SI-419 RMR slide, Aquaterra finish Trijicon Tritium front and rear suppressor sights "Texas" slide cover plate Trijicon RM02 RMR Surefire X300 Ultra-B The holster is from T.REX ARMS.
