Bought a Ruger Today

[v65magnafan]

My son just got his PAL.

My wife won't mind going to the range.

My daughter said, at last, that she's interested ("Dad, I'll be living alone...")

So, what's a dad to do? I bought a 22/45.

I'll give a report soon after the CFO decides I may take possession of it.

Lucky man!

I love my 22/45 except when it comes time to do a thorough cleaning on it. Bit of a pain in the butt to take it apart and put it back together...but it shoots very well. Congrats!

Good choice, what barrel length did you choose? Did you get the Hunter model with the HiViz sights?
Re: takedown & re-assembly, practice until you can do it in 20 seconds.

Cheers!

4.5" barrel

Fibre optics--with a choice of colours.

Absolutely new in box.

It really looks good--like jewellery-- for the wife and daughter, you know.

Yes, takedown looks like kidney surgery. But I thought I wouldn't be able to do a 1911. I can do that with my eyes closed now.

So, the Ruger shouldn't take me more than fifteen months to figure out, judging from the first couple of reads of the on-line instructions.

Any range-proven ammo recommendations?

Any range-proven ammo recommendations?

Mine digests Winchester Dynapoints and Federal bulk without a hiccup, and shows decent accuracy as well .

My 22/45 hasn't tried any ammo that it doesn't like yet. Thousands of rounds and not a single complaint. Make sure you give it a good thorough cleaning before you first use it.

Congrats on your 2245, one of the best gun out there.

So I won't be using it until December, when I finally get it back together.
