Thumbs up Ruger Range Time

Finally got outside to shoot today between rainstorms....had rain this morning and looks like more is coming.

I used the 2 factory magazines, 2 Chip McCormick match-grade 8rd mags, a Chip McCormick Power10 mag, and the ACT-MAG 7RD mag from my RIA. The Ruger liked them all.

I fired 100 rds of hardball (mixed Winchester white-box and Remington UMC) and ended my session with first a rapid fire out of my 10rd mag with hardball and then with one 8rd mag of Federal JHP while she was nice and filthy....to see if it would feed them like that. So 118 rds fired without malfuntion right out of the box with just an initial cleaning and a few drops of oil on the rails & barrel before the range session and a cool-down period just long enough for me to rapidly reload my mags. IM PLEASED!

I havent shot this much this year, but after getting into my groove, she held a 2 inch group at 50 feet...and Im certain would do better in more practiced hands. It threw all the brass about 4-5feet behind-and-to-the-right of me and even without a tarp down, the ejection was consistant enough for me to find all but five casings in the grass and the hostas planted there.

So overall, Im very pleased with her and cant wait to get back out and shoot her some more

Good to hear . I got to shoot my new pistol last week and am happy with it so far. I want to shoot it a lot more but I need to re-load for it first to be able to shoot it like I want to, it could get a tad expensive.

That's pretty good luck to have all of those mags work out in it. Don't let your girlfriend shoot it, she'll put a curse on it.

Take care.
