I've settled in with the
Ruger American 9 Pro. Striker, trigger blade insert safety (Glock style), reconfigurable grip insert, 17rd magazines, Loaded chamber view notch, and the best accuracy out of a handgun of mine so far with zero malfunctions to date. I should shoot more, but I do shoot enough to have confidence in the RAP. It's a full size military pattern handgun, a perfect fit for the
Condor Tactical Leg Holster I picked up at the local Davis-Monthan AFB Base Exchange.
One especially interesting and practical feature is the magazine commonality with the Ruger PC Carbine. The RC Carbine operates with an interchangeable mag well. They make 3, include 2, and the RAP well isn't one of the two. I think it's well worth getting the third one (RAP - Ruger American Pistol) from Brownell's, as I did; quick and painless, easy to install at home.
Having 17rd magazines, and a dot scope on the carbine; and the shoulder fired carbine shoots nicely as well. It provides a practical 9mm capability at out to at least 100yd; I shoot 124gr RN and HST with confidence.
The pair were acquired to have a capability for local 2-gun shoots; but that goal remains unfulfilled. It will happen.
Virus notwithstanding, being cooped up; I'm well into a complete shop update, with a second bench and a lot of shelving. It's a self designed modular unit system, all wood (1-by...), and incorporates both ergonomics and esthetics.
