Reeder Custom Guns - Ruger PC 40 - The other half of the combo...

Unboxed this neat little rifle this morning. As mentioned yesterday, it'll be the other half of my 40 S&W hunting guns. Actually, it'll go well with the Trail Gun I have in 40 S&W too.

I put a Simmons 1.5-5x scope on with steel rings. Not terribly fond of aluminum rings, but have a few sets.

Changed the magazine well over to accept Glock Magazines. I've found magazines that hold from 9 to 27 rounds. For hunting, the G27 9 rd. Magazine seems perfect. The higher capacity mags could be purchased if needed for any other reason.

I thought the little package came out just fine. I'll try both on the bench later today.

the loads too much. It can open too fast and blow a case. The higher the pressures the higher the stakes. The old WSL rounds were delayed blow back too, dating from 1905, but the counterweight was about 2 lbs! The bolt actually extends up under the hollow forend. It's a foot long! I know they have all this computer figuring but I don't see gun designers any smarter than 100 yrs. ago. I know steels can be better but hand fitting tolerances are different from CNC mitigated.

I saw one company marketing a 10mm semi and I'm not sure it was total blow-back operated. A floating breach system would seem much better to me.

.357 Sig for me.

I wish they make it in 10mm myself...

that would be the perfect set up. A better choice than

Me too...

Being a blow back system you can't monkey with
