Last week I stopped in my LGS to look at a long slide Glock in 10mm.
Sitting in the case next to the Glock was one of the new Ruger 1911's in 10mm.
I had every intention of leaving with the Glock.....until I handled the Ruger.
The trigger was superb, breaking cleanly and without creep at 4.5lbs.
The bushingless bull barrel balanced the gun perfectly, at least for me.
I'd been wanting the Glock for a while but couldn't put the Ruger down. It just felt perfect in my hand.
I was afraid I was making a mistake, buying the Ruger, after convincing myself I wanted a Glock.
I loaded a couple hundred rounds of 180 fmj bullets over 8grs of Power Pistol and headed to my backyard range to see if the gun was as good as I hoped.
The Ruger didn't disappoint. This gun shoots. Recoil with the 180gr bullet at a little over 1,100 fps is quite manageable and double taps on a steel silhouette at 20 yds were easy to attain. Although I didn't shoot it on paper, after the initial sight in, I pounded the head of the silhouette target with boring regularity at 20 yds.
I ended up shooting most of the ammo I'd put together. I didn't have any malfunctions of any kind and the brass all landed in nice pile about 8' over my right shoulder.
I like this gun so much, I'm thinking of getting another.
This was the result of the first 15 shots, at 20 yds, after adjusting the sights.
