Let me start out saying I have never written anything of substance for a Forum so here we go!
I was down at Bradis Guns last Friday to find a replacement for my XD sub compact (my wife commandeered) and after I made my purchase I was put on a delay. So I stuck around and talked with one of the employees who is a member here about the Ruger Charger. This guy was sold on this little pistol. He told me all that was good about the charger and how much fun he and his wife had shooting it. This really peeked my interest but not enough to buy one. The next day Bradis called and they were permitted to release my gun. I went down to pick it up there sat that Charger. So rather impulsively I told the guy doing my paperwork to add one of them to my bill and I would take it. Sunday rolled around and my wife wanted to go shooting (I think I have created a monster) so we grabbed up 3 or 4 guns to include the charger and headed out to the range. Then it occurred to me I have no sites on this new found toy. At that point I did what any self respecting gun enthusiast would do and stopped off at gander mountain and bought the cheapest red dot 1X money could buy J
We got to the range and after putting about 4 magazines thought the Glock 23 I Purchased to make sure all was good there I picked up the Charger and mounted the red dot. Shot about 10 rounds into a 7 yard target just to make sure I would hit the paper. Put about 3 clicks up on the red dot and moved out to 25 – 30 yards. Now keep in mind I was leaning over (they don’t let you sit on the pistol range) shooting the cheapest ammo I could get from Wal-mart (Winchester Xpert 22 hollow point 36gr) Took the gun out of the box, didn’t even so much as pre-clean it and this is what I got at close to 30 yards. I started having so much fun shooting this little treasure that’s all I shot with the rest of the day!
With all of that said I think I have found a new project to work on. What a fun gun to shoot! I am really looking forward to getting this thing dialed in. I HIGHLY recommend this little jewel if you want a fun little cheap plinker to play with. Gun 289.00 red dot 29.95 500 rounds ammo 25.00 That afternoon at the range, PRICELESS!
