Is Socotra Island safe to visit?

Being part of Yemen, Socotra has suffered the collateral damage of being part of a country that has been at war for over five years now. But, Socotra itself has never been at war and it is very safe. Having said that, the island is politically unstable, which makes traveling to Socotra a bit harder – though still safe.

Does anyone live Socotra Island?

Almost all inhabitants of Socotra, numbering about 50,000, live on the main island of the archipelago. Only about 450 people live on ‘Abd-al-Kūrī and 100 on Samha; the island of Darsa and the islets of the archipelago are uninhabited.

How big is the barrel on the Ria M200?

Length on the RIA M200 is 8.75 inches. (Photo: Nate Parker) Other than the barrel length and different grips, the M200 and the M206 are the same gun. Not being someone afraid to carry a full size gun, I opted for the M200 with its 4” barrel and larger grips. Like the RIA 1911s, the M200 is also budget priced.

How much does a Rock Island Armory M200 revolver cost?

Not being someone afraid to carry a full size gun, I opted for the M200 with its 4” barrel and larger grips. Like the RIA 1911s, the M200 is also budget priced. It can be snagged for a touch over $200, or if you do your shopping around, it might be possible to find one for just under $200. The price point is evident in the gun as well.
