I am looking to purchase my first AR-15. I have been using the one my husband built, but I want my own that I can set up the way I want it and not have to keep changing anything for someone else to use. In my search, I have been attracted to a couple of different brands. I've been looking at a lot of reviews on YouTube and also reading reviews online. I am really just going to be using it at the range. I am not a hunter. I know I do not need a lot of bells and whistles, but I have the mindset that I want to purchase something that is good quality that will last. I will need to add a red dot, as my eye sight is getting pretty bad. I am right handed, but shoot left handed because of my terrible arthritis in my right hand. I am kind of used to brass ejecting out across my face, but am considering a left handed version so that won't happen. I have seen some Savage left handed ones for sale.
I came across the Springfield St. Vincent and really like what it has to offer, but I have seen some really horrible reviews about it consistently jamming. Has anyone out there had an experience with this?
I am also considering the M&P Sport II, Ruger and Savage. I know some of the M&Ps come with red dots, but I was not a fan of that particular red dot. I am not interested in an AR-15 pistol.
Any input you could give me would be helpful. I saw another post similar to this, but I did not want to hijack that person's post.
