357Magnum & 22RF Rugers.
I guess if you are a S&W fan you'll already be moving-on to read something else - But I really like the feel and look of these two strongly built guns and the SP101 was built in June this year fitted with the 'high-visibility' fibre optic front sight that seems to work well for my way of shooting.
- Both pistols are capable of tighter groups than I normally make - but that's because of my impatient snap-shooting style and my scratched grubby old aviator style corrective lenses. I hardly use the single-action way of firing - but get reasonable tight slow fire group results if I try.
I find the trigger D/A action fine but a little heavy to some tastes - and I can "stage" the release to adjust the sight picture on both revolvers - but try not to develop this bad habit - by using a positive strong grip while ensuring that my thumbs are fully clear of the trigger fingers rearward travel.
Although the Ruger 357Magnum is said to easily handle a continuous diet of Magnum loads - my re-loads are gentler stuff - indeed I added a few extra granules ( 0.3grains) to the powder charge as my light load wasn't sealing the brass fully in the chambers - to eliminate the dirty 'blow-back' streaks I was getting on the brass cases from them not "obturating" properly.
-
I also have my stainless silenced Ruger 10/22 s/a rifle - all three guns have proved to be reliable and well made (as they should be, of-course). - So that's three out of three to Sturm-Ruger.
Ruger 10/22 "Shiny Thing"
- Hands up all of you who spotted him shooting with crossed thumbs - That's something you'll only do once with a semi-auto !
