On November 8th, election day, I purchased a new friend.  I am calling it "The Trump".

I needed a .22lr pistol, to train with, take new people to shoot, and just to have... 

I wanted the new Ruger MK IV, but budget is too far stretched this year as it is....  So...presenting "The Trump"






It's a necessary evil.
It's not what I exactly wanted.
So far, It's working exactly how I want it to.
I think it'll do just fine!

'The Trump'   

Can't go wrong with 99 dowllahz! 

You need lessons on how to shoot the short barrel guns. Sight alignment is crucial.

Exactly.  I suck

Had a few light strikes and a few fail to lock back. 99 buks all good

Nice Ruger!

He was aiming at and killing flies! 

That's my excuse, anyway.

Yeah..  that's it..  killing flies!  Darn flies!!!   

das one shotgun?

Yep. SBS they allow on the pistol range.  Pretty good choke for 25 yards.

Yeah..  that's it..  killing flies!  Darn flies!!!

Funny-just gave me an idea for the December 2A fun Shoot....

Heck yeah. Sounds awesome! 

Just so I don't have any excuse, it's not the trigger.  I don't know how many rounds are down this pistol, but the trigger is actually not too bad.  I never shot a brand new MKIII, but read the triggers are not that great out of box.   This one must be around 4 or 5 pounds and fairly crisp and smooth. 

I think I need a new firing pin, and definitely want to get rid of that stupid mag disconnect. 

Read about all the issues breaking mkIIIs down and putting back together, but other than having to put in empty mag pull trigger here pull out mag, pull trigger there, it isn't all that difficult. That might be a function of it being well broken in.

Heck yeah. Sounds awesome!

Suggestion....
How about any rifle 50  yds
Any pistol 25 yds
10 shots

Could break it down to rimfire or center fire too.
I think the bugs are large enough so that somebody with a scoped 22 target rifle could actually clean the target.

Btw, how do you get a ruger 22 for 99 bucks?

Perhaps the Ruger Trump needs a good barrel scrubbing? Post election scrubbing

I'll try post the game later today.

The closing of Royal Hawaiian Club had them at $99. When I picked it up on Friday they still had one left, but it was more worn, but it did has an old long type aimpoint sight on it.

Make up rules as you think necessary. I have a pdf file which seems to print out more better.

I should think if you sent a worn out gun to ruger they would refurbish it at little or no cost?

Looked pretty clean.  It's my lack of skill mostly. I was shooting a mishmash of random. 22lr ammo I had lying around and was shooting pretty quickly.  Mostly wanted to see if everything worked and get the sights somewhat on.  The black is a 3.5" circle.

Yeah..  that's it..  killing flies!  Darn flies!!!   

If the flies were black, then you're a racist.

Remember Black Flies Matter!!!
