I have been carrying the Ranger II on a daily basis since purchase, was concerned about the size and weight being I am 5’6″ 122lb. Most pistols don’t hide well for me. The weight isn’t bad and hides pretty well. It fits my hand and is easy to function. As for shooting, targets or personal defense it is outstanding. Even the 3″ 410 shells from the top barrel are easily returned to aiming on target. The holster is top quality! ( I have made a 2″ band so I can use it vertical carry on my belt also). I have 2 friends that have fired it and now will soon be purchasing their own!
