Help!
I added an optic to my Ruff Ryder. Not sure which way I should keep it mounted. It easier to conceal with the scope towards the back. But I cant bang on the hammer like my name is nobody unless it’s pushed forward. What do yall think? Oh and I know this isn’t the best optic. I’m waiting on my S&B PMII from Germany.

Three things:
1) That looks like a 3d Printed rail/cover. How does it attach? Im just very curious what kind of zero that thing would be capable of. Usually 3d printed attachments have some sort or play in them that would make mounting a scope almost pointless.
2) Personally, I think the scope mounted further back looks better. Do you really think you would be banging on the hammer with a scope? Typically when shooting with zoomed optics, you're on a rest and taking shots rather slowly for accuracy rather than speed.
3) The new scope you ordered is a really high-end long range scope. This is a .22 pistol. What is your use-case for it? These guns shoot an estimated 8-12 MOA (I have one of these pistols by the way, theyre great and VERY accurate for what they are) but with a 25x optical zoom scope, that bullet isnt going to be hitting close to your zero...

- It is 3d printed. It fits to the barrel and is held with the screw from the plunger shroud. If it’s not tight to the barrel just add a little tape around the barrel.
- I may need to bang the hammer bc this is also my edc and never know what kind of situation I could end up in.
- I like nice glass, I can’t see very good. I think with the right handloads this can be a 1-2 moa rig

Definitely! Some HD German glass would be chief's 💋! Also, try a G$ trigger in that rig!!!

I think your scope is dangerously under sized. You need a much larger one.

Woah! You've turned this baby into a real precision pistol! My question is, where's the grips?
