It is a little ungainly at first, but the extra length is helpful for some of those quick shots at 35 yards. I was point shooting out to 25 yards on some of those 12" plates. Where I lost a lot of time was in my arm movement and in Outer Limits when I had to shuffle from box to box.

Nice Ruger. Not for lefties unless you like neck scars.

So you bought one of their finer pistols and you go around hitting it with a hammer?

Sure. You gotta teach it who's the boss...

It's a rubber hammer. It's all good.
