I'm really impressed in that Ruger anticipated I like shooting handguns at long range and set it up for a 150-yard zero with the rear sight bottomed. Unfortunately, it shoots a couple of feet or more high at 25 yards.

Shoots about one inch high at 25 yds. with the rear sight slightly below halfway down in the adjustment cycle. Maybe a trip back to Ruger is in order. If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice. Doug
