well after a 3 day jack around between me letting my drivers license expire, and hassling with the BMV and the LGS over my personal identity I was able to bring home a Ultra Raptor 9mm, the final addition to the Raptor family. This rounds out my Kimbers at lucky 13. While I was waiting for the guy behind the counter decide if my temporary licenses was sufficient enough I came across a Ruger .357 Match Champion that I could not leave without. So today has to be one of the best mondays I have ever had....except now my gun fund is officially drained
I really don't see myself getting the Micro Raptors....right now. Maybe someday. I think my next adventure will be to play around with my Crimson Pro. Cerokote or something. Not sure just yet.
Is your Ultra Raptor II a 9mm or a 45? I have a 9 mm sapphire ultra & a 9 mm full size Raptor, but the Ultra is my favorite pistol. I'm getting the bug to buy a black Ultra Raptor II 45. I'd like to hear what you think of yours even though it's pretty obvious that you love the Raptors!
I do have a love for the Raptors lol
This new one is a 9 and it is also my first ultra that is a 9 so I am anxious to get some rounds through it. I have two other ultras that are .45, one being a Raptor, the other is an Ultra Carry, and I absolutely enjoy shooting them both. They are both very accurate for a short barrel and I have had zero issues with either of them. Out of all the Raptors, actually all my Kimbers, I have only had trouble with the full sized Raptor 9mm not wanting to extract when new. I may be biased but based on my personal experience I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a Ultra Raptor .45
Nice lookin' family ya got there!!! I like Raptors!! The more the better!!!
I haven't made it beyond looking at the Ruger Match Champion. I have always liked Ruger revolvers. Big fan of the Security Six back in my revolver days.
How is the trigger on the Match Champion? I usually got my fingers into the Ruger actions and did some adjusting and polishing to improve things. You can get the trigger on a Ruger to match a Smith and Wesson, but you can't get a Smith and Wesson to be as tough as a Ruger!!
Thanks for the pictures. Sure would like to have a range report on that Ruger!! Inquiring minds need to know!!!

Thanks Keith!
I haven't been to the range yet. It will be another week before I can make it there. Have a family vacation coming up
It has great fit and finish IMO. The trigger feels good, A little heavy in DA from what I can tell. I wont dry fire a revolver, Don't know if it's bad or not but it was what I was always told by my grand dad so it's got to be true haha
I am excited to get out there and test it out for sure!
Until You Get To The Range....Jeff Quinn Will Show You The MC
