Colona, IL --(Ammoland.com)- Rock River Arms has the reputation for producing top quality AR15s.
What sets Rock River Arms apart from the competition is their versatility to produce and innovate weapons to such rigorous specifications.
The Rock River Arms PDS Pistol is the first of a new generation of firearms employing Rock River Arms’ patent-pending Piston Driven System (PDS).
Utilizing a purpose-designed bolt carrier, an adjustable gas piston and an over-the-barrel spring and guide rod arrangement, the Rock River Arms PDS is able to completely eliminate the traditional recoil system associated with AR-style firearms, making for an extremely versatile weapon platform. The design of the upper receiver and guide rod base prevents gas blow-by to the back of the receiver.
The two position adjustable regulator is conveniently positioned on the right side of the regulator housing.
The New PDS Pistol has a full length top mounting rail from the rear of the receiver to the regulator housing, allowing flexible placement of numerous optics, lights, lasers and other accessories. The folding ambidextrous, non-reciprocating charging handles may be used independently or in unison to charge the RRA PDS Pistol. The RRA PDS Pistol features a MS1913 rail on the rear receiver adaptor as well as an MS1913 rail on the regulator housing which allows sling or weapons mounting capabilities. The handguard features an integral Operator Safety Flange to help prevent support-hand movement/slippage towards the muzzle.

6 rounds, not 3. Kinda hard to aim without risking a trip to the dentist; only use on targets you're ok with missing. Painful to shoot (painful in the nuclear hot sauce kinda way - hurts so good). Heavy to hold. Every reason to not own one except its fun.
I added a folding foregrip to mine and carry three 33 rd mags with it, two with ball ammo and the 17 round glock mag and one 33 rnder with hollowpoints. I’ve since refined the shooting with it and can bring the four inch groups in at fity yards. Beyond fifty I can’t see well enough to score with open sights.
Get a Vector V51p if you want a nice high capacity .308 pistol.
IMO, a draco ak pistol is a good option. The ammo is cheaper and the gun only costs about $350. Of course I also have a plr-16 which are priced at about 3 per one RR w/o the buffer.
