ruger charger@the range

[xd40lover]

few weeks ago we talked a little bit about the ruger charger i got for fathers day. yesterday the lady that bought it for me went with me to the range and i insisted that she try it. after empting a 30 rd. clip with most of them in the 10 ring at about 20 or so yds. she wanted more ammo. now WE have a ruger charger.  the frist thing i heard from the guys watching was, when she says take out the garbage you will jump.!!  but it was fun, i think after 48 years with this lady we have somethig new to share. a big THANK YOU  goes to MR. RUGER.  XD40LOVER,

Get him, Haz! 

You know Eric, we all have our pet peeves, and this is one of mine ( as well as a lot of others).  I read what is a great story, but the word clip just hung in my mind.

This is a clip (getting a cartridge loaded into it):



This a a magazine (a Ruger 10/22 at that):


Sorry to rain on your otherwise GREAT story and day, but like I said, it is a pet peeve of mine!

Normally a peeve for me but I'm getting over it. On a firearm where you use a clip to load the magazine I will say something. But I'm guilty too. I said banana clip one time because banana magazine just sounds wrong and akward. The guy I was talking to corrected me in a hurry. Nice to hear you both like the Charger XD40LOVER.

Not to the topic, but my pet peeve is DAO, no such thing, it is a double action or it is not, there is even a triple action ( Daewoo)
but double action means the action can be operated 2 ways, the aforementioned DAO is actually a single action, it only works 1 way.

When I had an ffl, I would take liberty when describing the firearm, I never used automatic or Semi-auto, it was self loading.

Pulling the trigger causes two actions. Cocking and firing. Dual-mode or DA/SA would have two methods of operation.

I just went and checked Wikipedia and they say pretty much the same thing about DA and DAO but in more detail. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_(firearms)

Hey XD40lover, what optic are you using on the Charger? I have had one for 2 months but haven't been able to settle on an optic yet(red dot, holo, pistol vs rifle scope, etc.)

[SwoopSJ]

I outfitted my Charger with a 4x Nikon pistol scope.  I had planned on putting a red dot scope on it initially, however I figured the magnification on the standard scope would allow for a little more precision on the small, rimfire, steel targets.  I definitely would encourage you to try this setup, I have no regrets.
