Ruger 110-Round Rotary Drum Magazine Review
As an avid shooter and enthusiast, I was thrilled to get my hands on the GSG Ruger 110-Round Rotary Drum Magazine. This innovative product has gained a lot of attention in the shooting community, and I was eager to put it through its paces and share my thoughts with you.
Initial Impressions
Upon unboxing the magazine, I was immediately struck by its sleek design and high-quality build. The Rotary Drum is constructed from durable and lightweight materials, with a sleek black finish that looks sharp and professional. The magazine itself is housed in a protective sleeve, which provides an added layer of protection during transport or storage.
Handling and Functionality
Loading the magazine was a breeze – simply slide the top portion of the drum open, pour in your ammunition, and close the lid. The feeding mechanism is smooth and reliable, with no jamming or misfeeds during my testing.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind when handling the Rotary Drum:
- Capacity: 110 rounds of 22LR ammunition – perfect for sustained firefights or competitive shooting matches
- Weight: 1.2 pounds ( pencils to under 3 pounds with the Ruger 101/22 rifle)
- Length: 10.5 inches ( extended) – reasonable length for a drum magazine
- Width: 1.5 inches – fits perfectly in the Ruger 101/22 rifle
Pros:
• Increased Capacity: With 110 rounds of ammunition, you’ll never run out mid-match or during a long-range shooting session
• Improved Reliability: The rotary drum design reduces the risk of feeding issues and ensures smooth, reliable function
• Streamlined Design: The magazine’s sleek profile and ergonomic design make it easy to handle and maneuver
• Lightweight: Despite holding a significant amount of ammunition, the magazine is surprisingly light and agile
Cons:
• Weight Distribution: The magazine’s weight can be concentrated in the front, making it slightly unbalanced in the hand
• Sensitivity to Vibration: The mechanism can be sensitive to excessive vibration, which may affect performance in extreme environments
• Limited Compatibility: The magazine is designed specifically for the Ruger 101/22 rifle – incompatible with other platforms
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Ruger 110-Round Rotary Drum Magazine is an excellent addition to any shooter’s arsenal. While it’s not perfect, the pros far outweigh the cons. The increased capacity, improved reliability, and streamlined design make it an excellent choice for competitive shooters, hunters, and recreational enthusiasts alike.
If you’re in the market for a high-capacity magazine for your Ruger 101/22 rifle, I highly recommend giving the GSG Ruger 110-Round Rotary Drum Magazine a try.
Rating: (4.5/5)
Recommendation: If you’re looking for an alternative, consider the following options:
