A mediocre day at the range is better than a good day anywhere else

[JGalt]

I've had this 1978 Ruger Standard .22 pistol for about 10 years now. Iron sights are the shits, so I picked up a scope mount and a used Burris FastFire II red-dot reflex sight at the gun show two weekends ago. The mount cost me $5.00 and I gave $15 for the sight.

I got to sight it in this morning, at 25 and 50 yards respectively...

The reason it was a so-so day was that while trying to tighten up the 50 yard groups, the mount slid forward 1/2" from the recoil. I kept trying to adjust it out but didn't see the problem until I got home. The problem is now fixed.

No point to that. Most shots in an urban environment are inside 20 yds and pistol is your secondary weapon. If you're gonna shoot something 50 yds you need a rifle as a primary weapon.

My Ruger Standard is only for punching holes in paper, or dispatching surly raccoons. Two-legged varmints get a 9mm, .38 Spc, 44 magnum, 5.56mm, 7.62x39, or 12 gauge slug in the face or a triple-tap to the chest.

"Diversity" to me means how many calibers you have.
