So I put 250 rounds through the AR last weekend.
What a great firearm. No malfunctions shooting 5.56 NATO FMJ. Got my flip up iron sights dialed in and by the end was getting most rounds of a 30 rnd mag on an 8 inch shoot and see target, with grouping still slightly low to the right at 50 yards. Not great obviously but first time shooting and with iron sights..
Releasing an open bolt on the AR with a new mag chambering a FMJ round makes one of the best mechanical sounds I've ever heard.
Also realizing after putting another couple hundred rounds through the G17 that I don't like shooting it as much as I used to.. my buddy had a Ruger in .45 ACP with a single stack mag and I found it much more comfortable. Need to try out either a lightweight commander style 1911 or the Sig P365 and will probably trade in the Glock. I've always much preferred shooting rifles anyway and will use the AR for home defense from here on out so not a big need for a full size handgun.
