Picked this up yesterday and got to try it out today. I'm gonna enjoy this one for sure!!!
This is my first pistol with a reflex sight and only the second time I've ever shot with a reflex sight as well.

Factory stock internals. Previous owner added the reflex sight, fiber optic front sight and that pull thingy on the charge handle (I've no idea what it's called..LOL!!!)

Ammo used was Norma Tac-22....worked smooth as silk, no malfunctions. (y)

10 shots offhand at 25 yds.

Great looking gun and it looks like you have it dialed in.

That's a Halo Charging Ring on your bolt. I really like them and before I bought Volquartsen bolts I had one on each of my Rugers. They save your fingers from getting pinched if the bolt closes fast.
It does shoot very well for me!!!

Wasn't looking for one. Just pure luck I picked it up....right place at the right time. Older Gentleman was selling it cause his eyesight is fading. What you see with box and 6 mags...$350.00. I certainly thought it was a great deal, couldn't pass it up!!!

Thanks for the I.D. on the charging ring......never to old to learn something for sure. :cool:

The reflex appears to be an ADE model. They have a boatload of variations, all on Amazon (I have the basic RD3-006B that uses the Fastfire/Venom footprint). I won't highjack this thread any further except to say I found just a small difference in build quality and features, and no difference in functionality, between the ADE's and my Vortex Venom, but the Venom is more than three times the price of the ADE. As a result, I have one Venom, but several ADE's on various handguns.
