What the RA-9 series is

The RA-9 series is a line of pistols from Military Armament Corporation. The maker describes the RA-9 as its first polymer-frame, striker-fired 9mm pistol. A striker-fired pistol fires from a spring-loaded striker rather than from an external hammer. A polymer frame is molded from a plastic-type material rather than machined from metal.

Read the listing for the exact model before you order, because features can differ between versions.

The three models and their list prices

The maker lists three versions of the series. The list prices below are manufacturer suggested retail prices (MSRP) as announced.

RA-9, the standard model: list price $439.99
RA-9S: list price $549.99
RA-9 Sport: list price $699.99

Dealer prices can be higher or lower than list price. The seller sets the price you pay, so compare the current price at each dealer before you buy.

What a serialized fire-control chassis means

The maker describes the RA-9 as built around a serialized fire-control chassis. A serial number is a unique identifier recorded on that part.

This purchase follows the usual handgun path. The gun ships to a licensed dealer (FFL), who runs a background check and completes the federal Form 4473 with you before you take possession.

Keep your own purchase paperwork and the serial number once the gun is in your hands.
