Macgregor,
That's cool to hear. I think it would make a great patrol carbine. Very easy to handle; it is much lighter than it looks.
The only thing I do not love is the caliber. If it was .45ACP, I'd love it. But, since I have a bunch of .40's, it's okay for my needs.
Ruger did make 3 of them in .45 ACP, but for some foolish reason did not think they would sell commercially.
Have you tried Cor-Bon or other hot loaded factory 155gr. ammo in it? That should be knocking on the door of .357 Mag performance.
