Wow that raptor makes me look good!
« on: January 21, 2007, 09:52:23 AM »
It's been - oh about 18 years since I shot a 45 acp - I had a Colt gold cup - and like a dummy traded it off about that long ago.  I was never that accurate with it.  Just shot the raptor yesterday and all I can say is wow!  I'm no pistolier by any means, but that thing shoots!!  It does shoot just a tad left and little low when holding at 6 - if I hold dead on it is much better.  This was using Winchester ball ammo 230 grains.  Had just a few times where the slide didn't close completely - just a touch from the thumb to push it forward.  I think I"m going to like this raptor.  Definitely won't trade it or sell it!  Learned long ago not to get rid of something that was accurate in hopes of finding something else accurate.  This is definitely a keeper!  Plus it is fun to shoot!

I bought one a couple of weeks ago as well.  You are right, wow is the only word for it.  With a factory trigger that breaks at less than 4#, adjustable night sights and really cool looks, you can't beat it......but wait there is more!   It is also REALLY accurate.....1" @ 10 yards and only a litte more at 20!
