Ruger Pistol Caliber Carbine Bolt Release Operation?

[mtnbiker26]

Picked up a new Ruger Pistol Caliber Carbine in 9mm over the weekend. The bolt release is just forward of the trigger guard. Is there "the way" or a best practice to operate a carbine/rifle with this design? I'm a righty. Not sure if I should operate the bolt handle with my right hand and use my left hand to operate the bolt stop or if there's some other "pro" way I should learn.

Just shoot the bloody thing and figure out what works for you after some range time.

The design is very much like the 10/22. What works for me, is to rack the bolt open with my right hand and manipulate the release with my left hand.

As Peicemaker said - go see what works for you.

Asking NES for "Pro" advice Good luck with that

I open the bolt with the thumb of my right hand and my fingers naturally curl under the trigger guard to reach the bolt lock lever.

Why aren’t you just switching the bolt release to the left side of the receiver?
