Range day

The weather warmed up a bit, and the snow has turned into a a slushy mess so…lets go shooting!

First off, I got to shoot the Ruger RXM Glock-clone. It shot just fine and, I thought, was pretty accurate. I also swapped a threaded G19 barrel into it and shot it suppressed. The SIG suppressor I picked up hasĀ  been giving me some issues on the RXM and my G17… I think the spring in the booster needs to be changed out for a different one. Need to investigate that. Other than that, the RXM was very nice. I think Ruger may have finally created a centerfire autopistol that the public will want.

After that, it was time to try out the stubby 11.5″ S&W AR. As predicted, it was a little noisy. Threaded the Griffin Abyss suppressor on the end and that tamed it down quite a bit. An interesting gun, and certainly a niche piece, but I have to say the short barrel with the suppressor on it brings the gun to the same size as an unsuppressed AR, but with the advantages of a suppressor…pretty nice.

Last gun to play with was the Angstadt Arms 9mm AR which was a lot of fun to shoot. 9mm carbines are just plain fun. I had a three-lug adapter on the end of it so my Obsidian9 just snapped right on. Then it just sounded like a nailgun. And, again, a lot of fun.

I also helped a friend sight in their new Ruger AR556 MPR. This is a gun I very much like. I don’t think you can get anything better in it’s price range. It has Ruger’s cleaned up 452 trigger, a rifle length gas system, and 18″ 1:8 barrel, and a nice brake on the end. A pleasure to shoot. Strong recommend.

Any day at the range where you don’t come back with more holes in your body than what you started with is a good one. Wet feet aside, I had a good time and it really has been too long since I’ve gotten out to the range.

So, overall pleased with my purchases although I’d like to shot the RXM some more to see how it performs after I adjust the sights a bit.
