22 shooter
Has anyone gotten into Ruger American 9 mm or 45 cal. Pistols the simplicity
Got my attention. According to the rifleman mag.the 45 shoots a1 inch group
At 50 yards , and the 9mm is2 and3/4 to 3 in. .Over 25000. Before break down.
Any words of wisdom appreciated. thanks
I have had a RAP 9mm full size duty model since the end of november. Here is what I have found in nearly 1000 rounds of use. I bought this as a home defense and range gun. It has had flawless operation since the moment I first used it. I am an every use cleaner so I would have expected that from a first line pistol. So that is a plus. It is very easy to break down and clean. That is a plus. It is beautifully accurate, typically 1" groups at 7, and 10 yards. about 1 ¾" at 15. That is a plus. It has very low recoil with both range and sd ammo The pistol seems to like 147gr the best in both range and SD ammo. The 17 round mags are great for 2 reasons, one is the capacity, two is how easy they are to load. Now to the negatives: 1. The trigger is really in my way of shooting marginal, it has a very long pull to what I call the front porch (or place where the sear begins to engage or drop), it also has a long reach to a rest release (if you believe in shooting like that) . 2. Even after a year, there are very few routes to customizing the pistol like adjustable sights, custom trigger parts etc. for a pistol released more than a year ago, that is not acceptable. Would I buy it again if in the same position? hmm, lots of plusses, only a couple of minuses. Probably yes.
