for the holster drills.......does this interfere with the pistols fit in my normal everyday holster?

 

No - it's a laser cartridge that goes into the chamber, not anything external.

Nice review!  I got the Laser Academy for Christmas, but have not yet had a chance to try it out. 

Nice! 

They actually added a Die Hard drill!

Thinking about getting a Mantis Blackbeard.  $219 + $99 for laser academy is a bit much.  Waiting for a sale or for them to include laser academy code for free.  Any discount codes yet? 

Not yet - If you want, go for the Blackbeard first - you can print up the targets yourself and use the basic Laser Academy App for some drills.

Nick,

Extremely well done presentation since I now want one!  Any forum member discounts through you or Maks?

Thanks,

John

Unfortunately not at this time, however I will ask Mantis when I see their feedback about the article.  I will inquire if there are any upcoming promotions for Black Friday/etc.

Do you need to go a size up on the pants to appendix carry that rig?

For comfort, yes.  I went up a size on the pants and belt.

Was that price shipped?  Even still - $55 difference then... Honestly - I'm not impressed.  I'd rather not have to tighten screws out of the box... I'm ok with paying a bit more out of the box for the new hotness.  The price will drop on the Wrangler later on too...

lol.

I know of a few people who bought theirs for $200 from local vendors here.  Maybe they will post here. 

Beyond that, Ruger is targeting a $200 price point on these.

Yes, you may have a few dealers charging more... because they can... there is a huge demand for them and short supply for now, distributors are not giving out too many.  MSRP is $249.

@Krdshrk

Correct.  I got mine for $220 OTD including NICS and Tax.

Ok so $119.99

+ $40 transfer and $15 NICS (not including tax) you're at $175.

I'd rather have a new cool gun that looks pretty modern and a lifetime warranty for $45 more.  Heritage only has a 1 year warranty.... That one there also looks a helluva lot worse than my wrangler.  

I also love how Heritage says "Fanning the hammer" voids their warranty... hahaha....

meh.....buy the heritage rough rider.  It's cheaper, same function, reliable and safe. 

 

$200 vs $100, no brainer

I've never seen the rough rider for under $100.  $150 sure...  I'm happy with the Wrangler though.

Already got one on order from @remixer aka Monmouth Arms.

Can't wait to get it out to the range!
