I don't like the grip and trigger pull on my AR.

[Certaindeaf]

I haven't considered Ruger for anything in about 10 years. Enlighten me

They make an awesome AR for like $600.
As a matter of fact, everything they make is awesome.. if you like/want what they offer.
yer welcome lol

Wholly ship. I had no knowledge of any of what went down.
I was lasso'd in the early 90's. Too busy for much of anything. WORK, Marriage, WORK, kids, WORK, new house, WORK

ETA, Now I'm tempted to buy a Mini 30 and a ship load of 30rnd "clips"

 

[2A2Dend]

Yep, **** 'em, Spend as you please but they'll get nothing from me ever and stacked all those recall links above, no thank you.

Normally I am content with remaining silent and just ignoring recommendation about them, but someone starts to talk about how great they are...

I feel ya. And agree whole heartedly. Sr...forking chump.. turned on his own and ruined for all

 

[Certaindeaf]

Sure, if you don't count all the recalls.

You're welcome.

Yea I hear you. We'd be way better off without Ruger. All neckbeard "build" boys would agree.
LOL

I love the hell out of my .308
Ruger American Rifle. Acurate sucker!

 

[Certaindeaf]

[Certaindeaf]

That's not repenting.

Thanks, Joly

One order of repentance hot off the grill!

Heck, I'll just put it here:

I can hardly believe this is true…but, it is, and I will not mention anyone's names, just in case I got it wrong…


I walked into a gun store today, I am interested in selling 2 of my pistols and buying another. One of the pistols intend to trade is a M&P 380 Bodyguard, I carry it in a front pocket with a good holster. We started talking….guns…the 'guy behind the counter asks me if it is the kind of holster that you can fire through (by design); he mentions that some holsters were designed so you could sneak a finger into the holster and fire the gun. What! He then goes on to tell me regarding some 1935ish law that makes it a felony . A Felony, What! I tell him it is not that type and ask if it is O.K. to pull it out of my pocket (I want to sell it) and he says sure. I put it (holster and pistol, together) on the and he confirms, yes, it is not the Felony Holster!

Then, he goes on to tell me…you can buy a very ..expensive license to have/carry that holster. I say What??? Are you telling me, "I can buy license (expensive) so I can have my finger on the trigger of an unexposed gun that will shoot through my holster?" And he says, "Yes."


What!!

So, now I am starting to get it…give us more money, get more protection…i.e. we (the money/politicians) have guns in our pockets with shoot through holsters or just full-on bodyguards. Now it is getting simplier….I just need more more money and give it to someone else so I can feel safer…again Who Knew.



I thought those old movies with bad guys holding their finger in their pants was just a finger…maybe they were using those holsters! If you are old enough.



Another day on the curve.

Are you sure he didn't just ask you if that was a holster in your pocket, or if you were just glad to see him?

 

[Velzey]

I don't care what Bill Ruger Sr said anymore..He died in 2002..

Ruger is making some pretty nice boomsticks these days!

 

[Doc In UPlace]

Ah, so about the Rugers, my 22/45 is, after some Valquartsen hammer/sear and mag tuning, a really nice pistol, cycles 100%, as reliable as my G-21.

I have a friend with an SR1911 and I shoot that thing better than any .45 I own or have borrowed.

Can't speak to the Mini-14, never had or wanted one; my Colt 6920 with Geissele SAA trigger is a great rifle, also cycles 100%. So back on-topic. SSA trigger=happiness.
Put some stair-tread tape on the grip, nice n'sticky now, wet hands or dry.

 

[U8395279]

Had a stainless mini-14... Gorgeous rifle, but the POI would go all over the place when the pencil barrel heated up.

Mine shot lovely buckshot patterns at 50 yards, even from a cold barrel. You must have gotten a keeper. I got rid of mine.

I actually traded it for a WASR 10/63 that has the front "dong" grip, and it came with spare mags and a friken "laser"! It actually shoots very well.

 

[Joly]

He was doing a pisspoor job of talking about a "wallet holster", once upon a time considered them an "Any Other Weapon" (AOW) and required a tax stamp. I'm not sure they still do or not.

ETA: https://www.atf.gov/file/58251/download There is this on page 65

9.12.2 NFA transfer with other GCA firearm. An application to transfer an NFA firearm that includes a firearm regulated by the GCA, (e.g., silencer with a pistol, wallet-holster with pistol, etc.), requires the completion of a Form 4473 and NICS check prior to transfer of the GCA firearm. This includes the transfer of a firearm where the suppressor is permanently attached to the firearm. The GCA firearm can only be transferred after the required NICS check is completed. The serial number of the GCA firearm and the permanently attached NFA firearm must be included on the ATF form 4473. FFL/SOT payers are also responsible for and adhering to all applicable State and local requirements for NFA transfers. If the FFL/SOT is awaiting ATF approval of the transfer application, the unattached GCA firearm can be transfer prior to the completion of the NFA transfer, however, an additional NICS check may be necessary if the transfer is to a non-individual

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.

I wound up going with the CAA grip and I like it a lot. The palm swell was a good fit for me, I got right up to the first knuckle with it and that's just about what I wanted.

 

[Stomper]

Muh man! Welcome to the "legit operators'" club. Don't be listening to the CAA haters out there, it really is a nice pistol grip that does the job with style!

 

[Stomper]

Really HATE them, hate them, or strongly dislike them?
