Ruger is evil

First, they come out with that .45LC rifle which y'all know I bought. Which is a perfectly fine rifle right out of the box. But it has this full length picatinny rail and a whole bunch of M-Loc slots. So I had to get an optic. Then some big stick Glock mags. Then a WWII pouch and web gear for the mags. Then a linear comp. Then a sling. Then a foregrip because of all those empty M-Loc slots. Then today a Magpul bipod. Still a lot of empty M-loc slots! When will stop?

Maybe there is an M-loc blender so you could make a Margarita when you want one

Imagine all the marbles you could line up on that top rail! It's mind boggling!

Just be thankful you don't have OVER FIVE FEET OF RAIL to fill up, like some of those 'gee whiz' AR15s that young people buy!

"First, they come out with that .45LC rifle which y'all know I bought."

I need one of these, but didn't know Glock made .45LC magazines.

What is evil, is Ruger turning out a very few of something I could want, then poof, they're gone. I would think, if something is popular, make more.

A couple examples are the Wiley Clapp GP-100 in 10mm, the PCC in .40, and now, the 75th Anniversary MkIV.

Same mags as the Glock 21, 30, and 41 use. These are not Glock factory mags, but made by SGM. They work just fine for the Ruger LC. They also carry the 13rnd mags.

I think someone thought he was referring to 45LC as 45 Long Colt instead of 45acp LC Carbine

Yeah, this whole gun hobby is just one big racket as far as I'm concerned...I frequently spend as much, or more on accessories and accouterments than the actual firearms they go with!

Probably. I hadn't considered that my post would be confusing in that way, but I'll be more careful in the future.

Yep. Worse than fly fishing.

Not even close! Flys with sizes1-0…30 makes my head swim and doesn't get me started on the rods, reels, tippets, lines, vests, packs, hats…and don't start on fly tying stuff!!!! LOL

Certainly they are. Just keep offering things I can't afford or have no real 'need' for.

It ends when you can't pick the gun up anymore because of all the weight you added.

Just got a n LC Carbine 45 too, gun is awesome!

An excellent performance review of +P loads in this rifle. MV and energy, etc. Of course the usual YMMV applies, so slightly different results should be expected with different rifles. I wish he had included Hornady Critical Duty (220grn +P) in this. It's been a favorite of mine for 9mm and .45acp for a long time.

I've seen this
My main use for this carbine is as a truck gun on my property. Loads of feral hogs to sort out, I figure a good +P 230gr load should be pretty effective up to 50yds or so.

MS has a good size herd also (around 700k), but I haven't seen any on my property - yet. Although they are in the neighborhood.

If you're looking for deep penetration on your hogs, I'd suggest the 255grn hardcast from Underwood or Buffalo Bore instead of a jhp.
