KYGC is combining a Vortex Venom with it for another $139.00

Does anyone here use a Vortex venom ? Is that a good sight to put on a carbine?

Yes, I have one on a MKII. Good red dot with replacement warranty. Actually, if I were going to put a dot on, it would probably be that one. It's a $200 sight if you buy it separately. That's a winner.

There are a lot of videos out on this now, I won't post the links, but Tim from Military Arms Channel shot hollowpoints from the Korean mags, he shot steel-cased ammo from SGM mags.. He didn't have any malfunctions.

I have two 33 round Korean mags, they had some teething problems but they seem to be functioning OK in my Glocks now. I'd like to use those, at least for the range with this Ruger carbine.

I think it's interesting that the Ruger SR mag well and the Glock mag well ship with the carbine, but the Ruger American Pistol mag well has to be purchased separately. It seems to me that this carbine would make a nice pair with an RAP Compact.

I think what that is telling us is that the American pistol has been a commercial failure. I seems to be more rugged and professional grade than the SR but it hasn't led to increased sales. The SR still outsells the American by a wide margin.

Unfortunately, the American Pistol has the weirdest styling on a gun I've seen in a long time. The SR is downright incredibly good looking in comparison.
