I have a subcompact P250 chambered in 9 mm and I like it quite a bit. Yes the trigger pull is long and the reset is long. That is just the nature of a hammer-fired double action pistol. But the trigger pull is actually quite smooth. Mine has given me no trouble.
The answer probably depends a lot on what type of ammunition you intend to use. It is generally pretty well established that for FMJ 5.56x45 the wounding potential depends to a considerable degree on whether or not the projectile yaws and fragments when it strikes a soft target. The likelihood...
The New York NY1 and NY2 trigger springs work in a fashion completely contrary to the stock Glock trigger spring. When you pull the trigger on a Glock, the trigger bar moves rearward and the cruciate (the back of which forms a sear surface with the striker lug) is forced downward by a ramp on...
I usually take at least a couple of bags at this point. One contains tools, cleaning supplies, and lubricants. Most often I carry ammo in an ammo can. Range bag might contain the following at any given time: electronic muffs, sharpies for marking targets, small ruler, small notebook with pen...
A lower receiver vise block really doesn't have to do to much to be functional. I use one sold by Brownells that costs around $25, but if you have not already placed your order with PSA I would just add this to it...
If you have a bench vise or something similar, a plastic vise block that goes into the magazine well of the lower receiver will make it much easier to hold your lower in place when you tighten down the castle nut on the receiver extension tube.
"Best 22lr ammo" discussions come up pretty frequently on rimfire central dot com, and the Project Appleseed forum. Most of the Project Appleseed 22lr events are shot at either 25 yards or 25 meters, and probably 3/4 or more of the participants are shooting some variety of Ruger 10/22. As was...
If shooting a rifle with a conventional stock hurts your hand when you try to wrap your thumb over and around the stock just in front of the comb, try just resting your shooting thumb along side the rifle stock on the shooting hand side. Many good target shooters do this and feel it improves...
Don't give up on the Aguila ammunition until you try it. I have shot a lot of Aguila Super Extra high velocity 40 grain round nose and had very good results with it in three different 10/22s with 18.5" taper barrels. I have had no reliability issues. Accuracy is very nearly as good as with...
The person who modified the trigger may have installed a reduced force striker spring to reduce the trigger pull weight. Did you notice the trigger pull being any heavier after the spring swap?
I have not owned any Boyds stocks, but I too have heard pretty uniformly good things about them and have seen a lot of them in photos. I have never owned a tactical stock for a Ruger 10/22 but some that I have seen left me unimpressed. There was a Talo distributor exclusive 10/22 Tactical a...
Yes. But in the Appleseed AQT two shifts in NPOA are required in Stage 3. One after the first three shots, and one after the next three shots. It is also easier to get confused on the Appleseed Stage 3 AQT. It is more intuitive to shoot 5 shots into each of two silhouettes than it is to...
The AQT originally stood for "Army Qualification Test". This was later coapted by Project Appleseed using the same "D" silhouette targets the Army used, and renamed the "Appleseed Qualification Test". Revere's Riders is to some extent an offshoot of Project Appleseed.
The Appleseed and RR...
It sounds as if a 10/22 rabbit hole has opened up beneath the feet of the OP here. I feel partially responsible since I was one who mentioned it but since I have also messed around with 10/22s a fair bit, I am going to throw out a few points.
First off, if you decide to go the Ruger 10/22...
I spent some time soliciting opinions and reviewing the internet for information regarding heavy taper barrels. KID is usually a safe bet, and they make one in a 20 inch length but that was longer and heavier than I wanted.
Feddersen and Green Mountain both make a 17" heavy taper barrel...
I do not think you will find a semi-auto 22lr rifle that has more options for barrels, triggers, and other parts plus a wider selection of drop-in stock options than the Ruger 10/22.
As far as most stock models of the Ruger 10/22 go, the parts that really scream to be swapped or modified are...
The nine sillymeter Europellet! Favorite of Austrian pastry chefs worldwide. And since it makes such tiny holes, you can use the same target over and over again.
