Guy who ran it went to law school, I think. In which case, there just isn't time for anything else.

Life's too short to live with a castrating harpy. Run. Married for 7+ years to a princess whose only complaint about guns is that I talk about 'em too much, to the exclusion of more mutually interesting topics. She doesn't care to shoot nor carry a pistol, but is learning her way around a...

Looking for a price check on a 4" Model 13 .357, and I'd like more experienced eyes than mine to give it a look-see. Trigger is pretty smooth. Pics at http://offloadingstuff.blogspot.com/. Thanks much!

Folks, What's a decent price for a 2.75" blue Ruger Security Six .357 that's in "very good" condition, excepting very mild pitting on the backstrap and a turn ring on the cylinder? Thanks!

Back with another newbie question. :rolleyes: I was out shooting my S&W M13 (4" .357 K-frame) today; shooting some commercially reloaded 158 gr. lead SWC .38's, which shot pretty dirty. Anyway, after my first or second cylinder of said reloads I ejected the spent shells w/out a problem...

Anyone know where I can get a Tyler T-grip for a Ruger Security Six--aside from Tyler?

Guys -- thanks. I love this forum. :cool: Timing is fine and, as is typical for Rugers, lockup is great. Would welcome any more opinions/advice! Keep 'em coming!

Another question from the revolver newbie: Purchased a 2-3/4" Ruger Security-Six over the internet a little while back. It's got a gap between the frame and the crane. Should I be concerned? How much? Eventually I'll figure out what I'm doing when buying these things. :rolleyes:

Found 'em. :cool:

Folks, Looking desperately for Butler Creek boot grips for a square-butt K-frame. If anyone has any to sell, or knows where I might find 'em, I'd much appreciate it. It's driving me nuts trying to find 'em! :banghead:

WTB: Butler Creek (or Uncle Mike's) rubber boot grip for square-butt K-frame S&W. Want a set. Bad. Can't find 'em anywhere! Contact me at [email protected].

Borachon, You've flown once in fifteen years. Generalizing your one-time experience with TSA folks at the Memphis airport to every bunch of screeners everywhere makes no sense. You don't have a sufficient base of experience to make the assertions you're making about airport security...

Everyone, Thanks very much for the helpful replies. My near-total ignorance about revolvers has been remedied somewhat. :p My concern stemmed from comparing the near-virgin forcing cone of my 442 with that of my Model 13. The difference is pretty stark; hence my alarm. Compounding my...

Haven't shot it yet.

And yes, I paid too much, and yes, I am a yutz. Browbeat away. Just let me know what my options are. :o
