More From RRA:

Colona, IL – Rock River Arms, one of the industry’s most respected names in Modern Sporting Rifles and pistols, has announced an addition to the company’s expanding lineup of AR-platform pistols. The new RUK-9BT was developed to address the needs and interests of shooters with an eye toward home and mobile defense capabilities.

The RUK-9BT is highlighted by a 4.5-inch chrome-lined barrel chambered in 9×19. Combined with its 4.25-inch RRA lightweight free-float handguard and SB Tactical SBA3 adjustable stabilizing arm brace, the RUK-9BT is exceptionally compact, light, and sized for maximum portability.

Based on RRA’s own BT-9 billet lower receiver, the RUK-9BT incorporates a flared magwell that accepts GLOCK magazines. This allows the pistol to work in unison with a 9mm GLOCK primary or backup carry gun, ensuring ammo and magazine cross-compatibility anytime, anywhere.

Additional standard features of the RUK-9BT include an RRA two-stage trigger for precise trigger control and reduced shot disturbance, an integrated winter trigger guard to accommodate gloved hands, Smith Vortex flash suppressor, Low-Pro hand stop, and a Hogue rubber grip that offers superior firearm retention in a pistol platform.
