So...
There's no way I could have predicted just how impressed I'd be with this Kitty Kat- the only thing I'd say could possibly improve it would be a short-stroke gas system. Other than that- she's one hella sweet-shootin' pussycat.
I took 55 mixed rounds of Magtech 200gr FMJ and Winchester Super Suppressed 200gr Open Tip today for a "get to know each other" range session- and I've flat fallen in love with this fine feline.
I started at the 10yd line with five shots aimed low just to see where'd they go, and then switched between three different mags with five rounds each while moving from 10 to 15, 20, and then out to 25yds.
This little AR was
accurate, 100%
reliable, and
extremely soft shooting... I didn't even notice that it had a blade brace instead of a stock on it.
Due to this Kitty's size, weight, accuracy, reliability, mild recoil/sound, familiar/simple manual of arms, and the ability for it to run full-house 300 BLK supers if need be- I gotta say this Kat has jumped right up into the catbird seat as my favorite go-to grab gun.
Our next range session will be to test more ammo (self-defense subs and a few supers), and also to try out some goodies I bought for her.
Here's what she did for me straight out of the box (just cleaned and lubed) shooting offhand from a seated/wheelchair position...
And BTW...
As I finished shooting, a guy started shooting his 5.56 AR pistol in the lane beside me. I brought my target back to the home position and was packing my stuff up when some movement caught my eye during the concussive blasts coming from my left- his muzzle blast was "unattaching" my target (I actively had fight my instinctive urge to flinch from the concussion of each shot he took)...
(yeah... my target was as flat as a freshly-ironed silk sheet until the knucklehead next door started up with his 5.56 pistol)
All in all it was an
outstanding day at the range.😁
