RUGER 9MM REVIEW FULL

Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve had a few wrist surgeries over the years, but after 50 rounds at the range, I was ready to call it a day. The 38 special only version released a few years back had some of the worst recoil I’ve ever experienced. RecoilĪfter trying the 38 special version of this revolver a couple years ago I was a little bit worried about recoil. Remember without a safety a stiff trigger and holster is all that prevents an accidental discharge. I measured the trigger pull at a hair under 9 lbs which is comparable to other double action only revolvers. It’s such an improvement over the sloppy J-Frames Smith and Wesson’s been building. Let me first start out this review by saying this gun has one of the best factory triggers I’ve ever seen. Impromptu range trips are just a 5 minute stop away. You can find decent ammo cheap at just about any Walmart across the country. Always Find Ammo: Everybody always seems to have some 9mm ammo lying around.For such a compact gun it really is amazing how little recoil there actually is. Less Recoil: Since this gun is based on Ruger’s 357 Model LCR there’s going to be a lot less recoil.

Some of us even have a couple ammo cans full upstairs.

9mm Ammo is Cheap: You probably shouldn’t buy cheap self-defense rounds, but you can find range ammo for hardly nothing.

I don’t know where I got the impression that moon clips were hard to use.

Moon Clips Are Faster: Moon clips might not be faster than magazines, but they’re definitely faster than a speed loader.

After giving them a try I soon realized that they’re no different than using a speedloader(they’re a lot cheaper). Seemed like another thing I needed to keep track of at the range. People just seem to hate moon clips for no logical reason.īefore buying this revolver I had never actually tried moon clips, but I told everyone I could how much I disliked them. There has to be a reason why nobody uses rimless cartridges in revolvers. I would have to be lying if I told you this thought never crossed my mind. I thought I’d take a moment today to make a quick review and let you know how I feel about my new addition. Now that I’ve had the gun for a good couple of months I’m starting to get a feel for how this little revolver functions. That was immediately followed by the realization that I’m a sucker for a good revolver and I needed to add it to my collection. Honestly, the first thing that popped into my mind is why would anyone want a rimless revolver that needs Moon clips.

I didn’t know what to think when I first set my eyes on this little 9mm revolver. After going out to the range a few times I’m finally starting to get a feel how this little snub nose revolver functions. Since I picked up my new 9mm Ruger LCR revolver I’ve really wanted to get out a review.
