Nice gun ! If you can get your hands on some Dogtown Midway USA 53 gr Ammo I bet it shoots 1 inch or less. It might take 3 years before it ever becomes available but remember you heard it here first. I own a bunch of AR15 rifles and they shoot excellent in all of them. Marty

What's the twist rate on your barrel? If it's a 1:7 or even a 1:8 the IMI razorcore round is a good defensive option, it's a 77 grain sierra match king.

It's quite impressive, black hills ammo loads the same round but it's harder to find. The IMI ammo used to be cheaper but has gone up like everything else.

Get a light for it if it's a bed side gun. Identifying the target is the most important. I didn't used to think it was important tell I read about a guy that shot and killed an intruder in his kitchen.
That intruder turned out to be his son that came home from college for the weekend unannounced. Heard a kid came home from vietnam, wanted to surprise his parents, same thing. A light is a good idea, if I have a problem I would probably grab the 9 mm handgun
