Another toy found it's way into the household:
https://ruger.com/micros/liteRack/
Something to shoot up the copious amounts of 22 LR, I have squirreled away. Stopped in at the LGS and they had one in stock. Been thinking about one since they were recently introduced. Being a southpaw, I wasn't enamored with a manual RH safety. However, I can flick it of off with minor thumb/grip adjustment. If anyone were to carry it, it would be Cindy, who is right handed. That would only be for walking around the acreage. Have larger calibers for social work. BTW, LGS price was better than Bud's..........both for firearm and the two extra magazines.
The only thing I did, before shooting it was to semi dissemble it, to lubricate the rails. First magazine full, I had three failures to fully chamber. After that 100% reliability with different three magazines and over 400 rounds of mixed promotional ammo, including mostly Thunderduds. I had 4 rounds with bad priming compound.
Yesterday, Cindy was home, so I had her shoot another couple hundred of the RP Thunderbolts. As fate would have it, first round wouldn't fire. Ejected it and checked for the evident primer strike. Went off, the second time, after firing the nine other rounds. Next 199 rounds went off without a hitch.
So far, I can't complain about reliability of the little Ruger. Still haven't given it it's first cleaning...........one of these days. Weather permitting.

That's funny right there!
