I've attached a picture from less than 25 yards.. aiming at the center. Half didn't even hit the target. I've swapped scopes.. light clean.. torqued everything to specs.. single feed rounds.. crown and chamber look brand new... Nothing has improved. I've shot over 800 rounds trying to figure out the issue.. I can get a 2 inch group at 15 feet.......
You can also see one in the middle of this article (look for the image with the orange-tipped dummy rounds) and one at the end (look for the image of the loader full of red dummy rounds in my left hand):
Andy,
I have been shooting Ruger lc9 lcp, lcpll, sr9 and sr40c for several years, no fuss, or failure.
I (hopefully free of emotion) feel you struggle to give credit where credit is due. I have just acquired a security 9 and it appears to be made of the same materials as my failure free sr9 and sr40. To short change the ruger for ASSUMED weaknesses is like me saying glocks have no safety and have been known to shoot there owners so maybe glocks are bad and guns with safeties are good. That is as biased as your review. Glocks are very good guns, Rugers are very good guns for a lot less money.
I just purchased the American made Ruger Security 9 after looking at the dozens of entries in the midsize 9mm catagory
Two things determined my choice
Past experience with Ruger products
Price
ed, what does the cheaper price have to do with anything? in my opinion glocks have crappy sites as well. at least you can adjust the ones on the rugers. in fact most of the cheaper handguns at least have adjustable sites and the ones people think are so good and expensive do not have adjustable sights.. I can shoot a ruger or Taurus or smith just as good as anyone can shoot a higher overpriced gun that most of the time is paying for marketing costs. good day.
I bought this as a first pistol for the house/truck for both my wife and I as I was looking to spend around 400 or less. Neither of us are big people and we both love how it feels in our hands. I shoot it well but she shoots it incredibly. She has been shooting hand sized groups consistently at 10yds. The gun has over 300 rounds through it with no malfunctions. For the 300 I paid, I am very happy. The only thing I plan on replacing is the rear sights though I shoot fine with the stock sights (I wear reading glasses so I am very picky about sights).
I recently purchased a New Vaquero off Gunbroker. When cocking the hammer, it has recently stopped locking on the same cylinder position 95% of the time. I am the type who likes to fix things myself and have done a little gun tuning, but am not an expert. I've found some good YouTube videos on the disassembly and reassembly of the New Vaquero. Can anyone offer some sugestions of what I should look for? Needless to say, I'll have the gun inspected by shooters more knowledgable than me before I use it in a match.
It could also be a burr on the cylinder ratchet. I look for this and make my best attempt to get all 6 chambers coming into time identically. If it is only one chamber then this may well be the case. A person can buy replacement pawls a whole lot easier then buying replacement cylinders.
If it was working before and suddenly started failing to cock on one cylinder, first give it a good cleaning. Second, make sure it is put together right. After that, if it still has a problem, start looking at timing issues.
Capabilities & Limitations Aside from sheer looks and short overall length, part of the charm to the Ruger No. 1 is the one-shot ethic. With practice you can get pretty quick about dropping another cartridge into the chamber. The No. 1 can certainly be loaded more quickly (and with less movement) than any break-open or exposed-hammer single-shot design, but not as quickly as any repeater. So the single shot is part of the charm, and also the primary limitation. I have done quite a lot of dangerous game hunting with Ruger No. 1s, and I have no reservations about it. But I am generally not hunting dangerous game alone, and I think it's a bad idea to do so.
Popularity of the 5.7x28mm cartridge has never been greater, and shooters today owe a tip of the cap to the ammunition's creator, FN. Despite being the only game in town for nearly two decades, FN was not content to rest on its laurels. Recently, the company set out to update its 5.7 handgun offering, and the result is the FN Five-seveN MRD semiautomatic pistol. Utilizing delayed-blowback operation and a single-action trigger, the MRD is both accurate and a joy to shoot. Too, compared to earlier offerings, the MRD comes with enhanced ergonomics and an optic-ready slide. For those wanting to experience the power and precision of the 5.7x28mm cartridge and desire a high-quality handgun from the ammunition's original maker, look no further than the FN Five-seveN MRD.
Thompson center makes a better 10/22 version that ruger does now. Admittedly, the rear sight fell off of mine, but SW mailed me a new one, NQA, not even a serial number, and since then, all has been great.
Overall, my impression is that Mossberg has hit it out of the park with the Patriot rifle! For the price I cannot envision getting a dangerous game rifle with the features available in the Patriot. It is good looking, well constructed rifle that shoots like a dream and is very accurate. I think of some of similar priced rifles I have purchased in my younger years and they were light years behind what Mossberg is producing today.
If you are looking for a holiday gift for your significant other or simply a new large game hunting rifle, take a look at the Mossberg Patriot. It is an impressive rifle that is sure to change the game!
Awesome piece. Well written and funny as all get-out. Most of the other content here appears written by 10th graders who intend to become plumbers later in life... and I do mean the butt-crack sporting kind, not the Italian kind. I look forward to more articles like this from Recoil.
Could somebody take a look at Dry fire, please. I suspect it's a notable subject, but the current article is a disaster. Mostly referenced, what is referenced is to largely unreliable sources, lots of WP:OR and HOWTO. I'm not a subject matter expert, so I can't make a credible attempt at fixing it myself. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I came across this draft reviewing G13s and thought it should be merged to Evans Repeating Rifle but I do not have access to the source to verify the information (Cartridges of the World). I was hoping someone here might be able to take a look. I made a dummy edit so it should not get deleted. S0091 (talk) 20:26, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Since I'm lazy and always looking to automate things, I'd like to do just that. Ideally I would plug the card and a script would run to do the copying while I go grab a cup of coffee. I don't need to do any previewing, I don't need to rename anything, I just need to dump the entire content of the card on my drive and then back it up on the NAS.
Anyone know of a good reliable way to do that? I don't mind having to write some script if that's needed, I'm fairly sure it could be done with something like AutoHotKey, but I'd like to know more before I look into that. Maybe someone has already done something similar and could give me a few pointers to avoid mistakes. It might also be doable with Lightroom/Capture One/Photo Mechanic but I'd like a lightweight option if possible that doesn't require any input on my part.
But when I offload pictures from my card to my system I don't want to wait for the scheduled backup to trigger, I want them to be on my NAS ASAP, just in case something bad happens in between, that's why I back it up manually everytime I empty a card.
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
