    Gun stuff

    I will be missing out on it for a few days as I am entering the hospital at 4:30 AM my time to get one wheel replaced. It's been years since I have been in the place but anything to do with firearms was blocked by their internet service then and I don't expect anything has changed as all their...

    Is everyone still loving their Ruger Wranglers?

    I have wondered about those but the pictures I have seen showed them to not be a very close imitation of stag but the pictures were tiny. Your picture is larger and makes them look much better. I ordered a pair of Altamont's sold by Heritage for the rough rider. Far from real stag in the picture...

    Is everyone still loving their Ruger Wranglers?

    Already did and found some, Scrubbed it out with a bronze brush wrapped with choreboy strands. It's shiny as a new silver dollar now. Keyholing quit but accuracy stayed the same. Lousy. I trued the crown then as it had plenty of ceracoat or whatever their finish is on it. No change at all. The...

    Pistol light out past the muzzle?

    I only have one gun with a rail and light. it's a large gun so the light doesn't protrude but I will join in with all the others that say to wipe it down as it can't help picking up some residue. As bright as these little lights are it would have to get pretty nasty to affect the light's...

    Is everyone still loving their Ruger Wranglers?

    You are welcome to every one of them. After shooting my oldest grandson's I decided to buy an identical on one for the GG kiddies to shoot. Mine was a completely different gun. It shot patterns and key holes. I measured everything thoroughly, looked at the bore closely, and decided that...

    Our Founding Fathers' perspective on citizens and guns.

    I read some history of our artillery used in the revolutionary war. It was quite a few years ago and I might be a little fuzzy on details so will give a simple condensation. Most of the cannons belonged to one civilian that liked cannons and owned many of them and he offered them and his...

    Well, that was a weird turn

    Yes, they do and then eat them, rattlesnakes included. The only difference between the common house cat and it's larger breatren is it's smart enough to let humans provide it a comfortable life. A just well fed housecat will still kill and eat anything that happens by that it considers prey. I...

    Mare's Leg: Worth it or a waste?

    It was a gimmick used to increase viewership for the show. I enjoyed the show but not because of the gun. I believe if its inaccurate it's because of the difficulty of use. Of course on TV they always shot from the hip and hit what they shot at and about 98% of the time it was instantly fatal...

    So, what's too heavy?

    What's too heavy. It depends on your age, physical size, and physical condition. At this point in time I find what used to weight 5 pounds feels like 10 or more.

    Uberti Advertisements - Western movie posters

    I'm glad that their guns are much better than their western movies were. I don't care if they did turn Clint Eastwood into a major star. They were cheesy.

    A New Walther CCP

    That CCP is the only one I have owned. Like I stated it felt really good in my hand and gave no problems. I only got rid of it because I found something I wanted more. I do have a few of their CO2 replica pistols and those have had no issues. Fun too. Coke can accurate at 20 or so feet even with...

    Well, that was a weird turn

    I have never felt a need for a gun to kill a snake although I shot a few with a 22 in my teen years. A hoe, shovel, or rock gets the job done if you just have to kill one. I no longer kill snakes. There is always a feral cat or two hanging around so I very seldom see a snake. Last rattlesnake...

    Aged Mexican loop

    Looking closer I can see some frazziling on the edges most likely caused by the ageing process. I could live with the color. Not ideal to me but acceptable. It will darken with use.

    Less then a buck recoil pad.

    You would be surprised what Goop will hold together. I have been the tennie shoe repairer for the family for years and it has never failed yet.

    .22 revolver?

    The Rossi is a hidden jewel among DA 22 revolvers but agree about the grip. Get an aftermarket from Pachmyer that fits their circuit judge that uses the same grip frame. It make the little Rossi into an entirely different gun.
