      Ten perps.  Multiple (more than one) arrests means at least 8 people could still be on the loose.  Doesn't sound contradictory to me.  

      NO!  Just NO!!!!

scorpion evo (after the update) m9a3 Ruger Precision Rifle

Congrats to your son from a Eagle Class of 99.

      I think its more of a bean counter issue.  Let the public be the beta testers you will get paid to have a testing period. 

I like everything about my sr9 better than this pistol. Everything except the am I safety. I have a habit of bumping into things and clicking the safety off. I shoot it better. And the trigger pull is more familiar to me. The trigger on the American is much nicer to pull but the long reset really does suck. The more I think about if, the more unhappy I am with that. I gotta say, and Erik, you'll know that this means a lot coming from me, I won't be recommending this to anyone without some changes coming down the line.

Made it to the range today. I never share pics of targets because I'm a terrible handgunner. I stay on paper but never group well. Gonna share some pics today though. I took 250 rounds of mixed type and manufacturer. Not a single malfunction. I did not clean the gun before the range trip. So this is out of the box. So I was aiming at different parts of the circle for each group. The number next to each group corresponds to the ammo in the above pic. Perfecta seemed to "group" best for me. Regardless of where I was aiming, the gun was always low left. I compensated later to try and start hitting bull but I just couldn't get my hold right. As for the thumb issue. I could feel it. And I know some people will have a hard time with it. But even though I felt it, it wasn't painful at all. Trigger reset. Definitely is long. I short stroked the trigger about 5 times though the early mags. But I did get used to it and got pretty decent controlling it. I like the pull on this trigger a lot, just not the reset. Mag closes slide. Happened twice. Only when I slammed the mag home. Took some effort.

  Sure do.  They hired John Hollister and a couple of others away from AAC/Freedom Group last year or late 2014.  

  While that is ideal, it will likely never happen.  I'd love to see us get back to that.  But there are just too many pansies running around nowadays.  

    It certainly helps.  And remember that Ruger has given millions to the NRA each of the past few years.  This could get the NRA behind some NFA stuff as well. 

    If you dig further into that quote and add context to it, he is only referring to civilians.  It doesn't excuse his statements or stance, but he wasn't calling WWII vets dishonest.  

      Yes. If you look at my pictures, you will see the serial under the slide backplate.   

Here is a shot of the chassis. Looks like the takedown lever is the only hole thats clearly visible. Not sure if the rest is glued in or what.

      Not sure.  Haven't had a chance to try and take it apart.  I know that the takedown lever goes all the way through so its possible that it is one thing holding the chassis in.  

Looks like Ruger might be bringing a 22 can to market.   http://beta.ruger.com/micros/silent-sr/index.html     I hope its true and that its just the first in a complete line.      

Pics of comparison to a G22.

For those interested, I posted some pictures and video in the other RAP thread.  

    Exactly.  Safety is worth living in a police state.  

Law abiding citizens have nothing to hide. So what's the problem?

      I'm not wearing ear pro but I can hear mine.  I can definitely feel it.  But I do think its audibly weak compared to other guns, glocks included.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mhYHoXpbU8

I picked up mine last night. I have not had a chance to get to the range and probably won't until Friday. So this is just initial impressions WITHOUT firing the gun. I'll start with some pictures and then get into my thoughts. First, I'll address the issues have come up from other reviewers. 1. Thumb hot spot thing. Without shooting, I can say that I understand what people are talking about. I can feel the area, but I don't think it will be an issue for me. I have fat hands and plenty of padding. I do think the butt of the gun needs to be a little more ergonomically shaped. The right side is fine but the left side could use some contouring. MAC and other people have mentioned trying to shave it a little with a dremel or something. I don't think its possible. The last picture above shows inside the grip and its not overly thick plastic. There is plenty of room between the "chassis" and the plastic frame. Ruger could definitely remold the grip without touching the chassis or parts and possibly fix this. 2. Full mag releases slide. I was able to make this happen. However, I had to REALLY slam the mag into the gun. Inserting the mag like I normally would, the gun never did this. It does give me concern that the slide catch is weak and will only get weaker as the gun breaks in. This is something that I will be keeping an eye on. Its interesting to me that this is a problem since I CANNOT use my SR9c slide catch as a release. I have to slingshot the SR9c and thats fine since its my preferred method anyways. Just seems a huge leap to go from a slide lock only to this thing. 3. Trigger. This is completely subjective. Every person that handles it is going to have a different opinion. Personally, I think the trigger is on par with most of the other guns on the market. It has a slightly longer than average reset but the pull weight is perfect. It breaks pretty cleanly. It does have a little bit of a spongy feel to it but I think that will work itself out as it wears in. Just dry firing in the house last night, I started to feel it get a little crisper. The mechanism looks familiar to me and I suspect that there will be some improvement kits in the future as well. I don't remember what other issues people had. But those three stuck out. Some of my other thoughts. I absolutely love the serrations on the slide. I think they are perfect. Great texture to provide grip but without cutting into me or keeping dna samples. I hope that this design becomes a staple across the Ruger line. The interchangeable grip panels are a great concept. Each definitely provides a different grip. Because of my fat palms I like running small grips. I have the smallest panel on it now. I already know the largest panel is going to be too big for me so Its pretty much out of the running. I will be taking the medium with me to the range and testing it out under fire. The biggest problem that I have is that they don't seem grippy enough for me. I don't need overly grippy, but a little more texture would have been nice. I've always been happy with my SR9c's sides. Something similar would have been nice. Overall, I'm not disappointed with my purchase. I like the gun enough so far that I intend to keep it. But I do look forward to my range time with it. And I'll form more opinions then. It's worth noting that I never intended for this gun to replace my SR9c as my daily carry. I don't carry full size guns. I also don't compete or run urban commando classes so this was never going to see a training environment or a timer. I bought this as another range toy and as a potential suppressor host (when Ruger releases threaded barrels or I send it off to be threaded and three lugged).

Thats unfortunate.  Sorry to hear that you didn't like it.  I'm still waiting on mine.  

        Sarcasm.  I was just saying what I thought a few people here expected me to say.  I am a Ruger fanboy but I am also honest.  When I actually get my hands on one, I'll give an honest report.  

Mine is the best pistol I've ever handled.  I've already put 1000 rounds through it and it hasn't so much as hiccuped.  Running flawlessly.  I've been carrying it for a few months now and its not bad to carry.  I'd recommend one to everyone I know. Hell, I've already ordered three more.  

    No.   It wasn't likely to happen.
