    Ruger 22/45 Lite

    Thanks for the feedback, your experince and suggestions. I am certainly going to work with the pistol. A lose sight doesn't help nor does a heavy trigger on a super lite pistol. AFA reliability and ammo choices I will wait until I get a few rounds through it to decide, but my experince this...

    Wet AR bolt
