Every one I talked to about the 45 rap has said they would buy one if held only two more rounds. I think they will miss out if they don't release an extended mag.

For Chrissake! What kind of neighborhoods do they live in???

I think most don't like 10 because its politically correct.

And that's a reason NOT to buy an otherwise desirable gun ?

Idiots are born every day .....

I'll test fire my new RAP 9mm..




against my XD MOD 2 Service Model.

Who knows, I might trade the MOD 2 for a .45 RAP or a LCR in 9mm:)

I wish they would hurry up and offer us a LCRx in 9mm though.

Some Talon Grips for the RAP 9mm (small backstrap) are on the way.

Thanks.

It shoots as good as it looks.

I also want to pick up a 5 inch Tactical, when(not if)
they offer them in FDE.

Hi Guys, not feeling well enough to make it to the range today.

Here are some pics. Small backstrap.


They say that you can use the supplied wrench to change them out, but
mine is super tight. The gun fits me better than my XD MOD 2 9mm.



I'm hoping that it will be a soft, sweet shooting Ruger, and have more trade-in value than
a XD-S or a MOD 2 if I don't like it for some reason.

My XD-S .45 with extra mags and holsters seems impossible to sell right now.

It seems like people these days look at the XD-S as a pocket gun and
don't even carry a spare mag.

My aging hands don't care for the lightweight .45s recoil.

On the flipside, the American is big for a 9mm, or at least I think so.

Should be a pussycat to shoot though.
