Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
I don't see anything wrong with it as a carry piece. It's lighter and it has less that'll need protection from rust 🤷‍♀️

This is my Ranger. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Crossed threads are tight threads.
If I ever buy a carry gun it will be a .380 of some sort. Ideally double action and doesn't need the mag to shoot. Tactical.

I tend to agree more now then before I bought it. It was a RKGuns special buy and they were nearly giving them away. I wanted something that the wife could just point and squeeze. It fits that criteria well really.

I'm going to carry it for a minute and if it fits and comfortable enough... I may just get basically the same gun with a steel frame that I can mod a bit. Then this one goes back to doing what I originally bought it to do.
They have some great deals that's where I got my g2c. I paid 248. It's 208. Last time I looked.
edit they are 199.00

I was at the store to get a new hitch receiver the other day since I couldn't find the one I needed to move the boat. I saw they had these "tactical" trailer hitch ball mount/ball combos. WTH does that even mean? Is it somehow better for bludgeoning someone?

Quoting from that website: "The unique design of the hitch ball and clevis allows you to swap out a 2-in ball for a 2-5/16-in ball (P/N 7090100) Sold seperately. "

Funny, I thought the ability to swap a hitch ball was a common feature among reciever ball mounts. Some are one piece with the ball welded on, but most the ball bolts in. That P/N provided looks like just a standard bolt in ball with a tactical length shank.

Alright alright alright...

We can finally wrap this up gents.. better late than never!

PSA 5.7 rock. "sniper green" with a TiN coated barrel, optics ready.

I guess I decided I was ultimately tired of fat&slow.. a pistol with near rifle ballistics sounded good 🙂

Had to order it straight from PSA as the local pew pew store's distributors don't carry PSA stuff for whatever reason.. excited for it to get here.

Back when I had more free time I would spend a lot of time and would go shooting almost every weekend. I would go on the gundeal subreddit a lot to find cheap ammo, they were always posting good deals on PSA stuff.

one of my AR receivers is a PSA, but most of their stuff seemed to be too good to be true pricing, so I normally stayed away. Harbor freight of guns.

Only really “cheap” gun I bought was a Chinese SxS “coach gun” with a 19 or 18” barrel. Fun to play with, but wouldn’t want to have it for any heavy use.




5.7 is not cheap, and you can’t get the real shit legally. Have a friend that daily carry’s 5.7 fn or hk. Got money though.
