Two weekends ago I picked up a takedown version of the Charger and thought to myself that it would make a fun little toy. I've had enough enjoyment out of my Ruger MKIII 22/45 that's threaded but the magazine capacity on those can be a little lacking when you are plinking.
Purchased: Feb 3rd, as of the 16th I still haven't shot it.....
I mainly picked it up for shooting critters at the farm and the ability to use it with the suppressors I have was something that pushed me towards this particular variety. I also don't mind putting the rifle barrel from my normal takedown on it so I have a little extra velocity out of my pistol. (no, it's against the law to put the pistol barrel on the rifle variant...)
I currently have a Vortex Venom red dot on it that I stole from the 22/45 but am looking for other options optic wise. I've considered a fixed low power pistol scope or something lower power like a 2-7 Leupold VX-Freedom style I have on my rifle takedown. The downside is I don't see myself running the pistol out at extended eye relief lengths. I hope to find at some point a stabilizing brace setup that I like and that would give me more of typical optic eye relief distances.
This is a work in progress so excuse the bells and whistles that I have attached to it in this tacti-cool photo:
Give me some of your ideas and suggestions on reasonable routes too. I'd love to hear them. The responses to the poll have no bearing on what direction I will go, I do though want to get ideas from others who may have modified, lessons learned, pro's & cons and thoughts on setups.
