It seems to me the entry level priced handguns have very stiff triggers these days whereas the pricier handguns have more acceptable pulls. I'm thinking they're stiffening up the triggers on the affordable guns because they attract so many first time buyers. The pricier guns have better pulls due to the target market of experienced shooters. Lawsuit avoidance. That's my hypothesis anyway.
Just handled my first one a few minutes ago. OMG! What is Ruger thinking? The gritty trigger pull must be at least 12 lbs. Is this normal for the new Ruger? And if so, how do they sell these things?
Not exactly in keeping with your mode of application but, this Elcan scope also records video. On internal memory, on SD card or can be linked to laptop or video tape recorder. It tapes exactly what the shooter sees through the scope including the electronic reticle and all other displayed digital info. It also records stills. It senses when the hammer/striker falls and snaps a shot at that exact moment. You can review and see exactly where your crosshairs were when you fired. It's cool.
If this is a relative or business associate come to an agreement. If it's a friend he certainly is showing his true colors. Write him off. Is this person in Texas or the UK?
I'm about ready to push the order button on a Springfield Armory XDm 9mm. I own the XD-40 with ports but find myself craving 9s the past few years. I may sell my Springfield EMP. I've kind of fallen out of love with it. It's too small. Hard to manipulate and full and commander sized 1911s in 9mm are rare as hen's teeth.
Wholesalers are now beginning to list this rifle. None in inventory yet. http://www.issc-austria.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=4
