shot the new range officer for first time, shoots great, no problems other than had to adjust elevation, used a laser bore sighting tool to save ammo, put it right on center target.

Quite a few low ratings have come in for the Range Officer so far, which has pulled its average user rating down to 3.7 stars out of 10. We’ve got only two positive comments at the moment, however. If you’ve had a poor impression of or experience with this pistol, please share the details in the comment box. Would love to know the scoop.

Ran flawlessly with 5 different types of ammunition (all 230 gr.). The trigger is short (adjustable), very crisp and responsive. Sights are adjustable and a pleasure to use after applying a little dayglo nail polish to the front sight (indoor range).

Excellent fit and function. Ran flawless and is a great base gun. Trigger is crisp, but a bit heavy. Fed all my reloads, plus factory hardball and hollowpoints.
