Here’s The Rock Island VRF14 12 Gauge

Published on February 7, 2023

Over the last year or so, I have published a few articles here at Great American Outdoors on Rock Island Armory products and the response from you guys has been somewhat pretty ‘favorable’.

There are some though, who don’t like, or care for their guns and that’s okay. Rock Island guns aren’t for everybody, they’re inexpensive and a lot of folks think that because of that they’re ‘cheap’ and aren’t worth the money.

But not everybody can go out and pay cash for a brand new Glock, Beretta, Ruger, or Henry rifle. I think it all depends on what particular gun you’re looking for and what kind of ammunition you intend to use…but that’s just my opinion, take it for what it’s worth.

All I’m doing here is showing you an interesting product, it’s up to you to decide it’s capabilities and worth. Like I said, not everybody likes Rock Island products.

Here’s some info about the Rock Island VRF14 from their website:

OVERVIEW

The VRF14 is the first semi-automatic short barrel firearm of its kind. It boasts a familiar pistol-style grip so you can shoot 12GA shells from the hip. And if the 5-round magazine isn’t enough, it’s also compatible with VR-Series 9- and 19-round mags. Tempting as it is, don’t just stare at it. Add it to your collection now, while you still can.

Each firearm is built using 4140 Ordnance steel and engineered using the latest CNC machines. All firearms are hand-fitted and confirmed to meet strict tolerance and quality requirements in tightness, smoothness and overall look and feel. No matter which series you choose, you’ll get the same level.
