    Ruger American 9mm compact. Any throughts?

    I purchased a full size RAP 9 about five years ago for $300 on gunbroker. It is ugly. It is heavy. However, it eats anything you feed it and asks for more in true Ruger fashion. Surprisingly quite accurate too. If memory serves me, Ruger built the RAP for the military pistol trials. Word was...

    K frame steel differences?

    Just my two cents. Since the gun is not rated for “+p” I would not chance messing up such a beautiful piece of “back in the day.” Just like the old model 19 I used to have. I didn’t dare shoot magnums from it. I wanted my stuff to last as long as they could.

    New to me 686-6

    The first thing I noticed is the slick trigger. This 586 must have had trigger work done at some point. While the cylinder doesn’t lock up as tight as some newer L frames I’ve felt, the timing is spot on. Hopefully I’ll make it out to the range for a test drive this week.

    New to me 686-6

    So I ran into a guy that was that had been wanting a 4 in 686. After we talked for awhile, we worked out a trade for his 586. So my 686-6 for his 586-1 plus a couple of bucks from me. How did I do?

    New to me 686-6

    Gee thanks guys. All these pics of beautiful wheelguns is making me want another and another haha! I will say the six inch 686 will probably be next on my list. Some years ago I bought a 3 inch gp100 and while it was very nice, it never wowed me. Recently I looked a new gp100 and was...

    New to me 686-6

    While being a Ruger guy for years, I must admit I’ve secretly always wanted a 686. Being married, I have to ask permission for larger ticket items. However, I finally got the green light. I found a used local 686 4 inch and scooped it up. Unfortunately it has the dreaded lock. Which after...

    Suggest a target 38/357?

    Check out the Rugers. Gp100 comes to mind but my personal favorite is a security six blue six inch. For me it has great balance and shooting 38s are almost like 22s.

    Ruger American Pistoln 9mm: Review

    I too recently purchased a RAP full-size in 9mm and absolutely love it! It eats my reloads as well as nato rounds. Couldn't be happier! I use the medium backstop and it fits my hand like a glove. Too bad the RAP is overshadowed in a crowded plastic pistol market. Ruger really went above...

    Ruger SR9 vs. Ruger American Pistol

    Early on I purchased one of the first SR9s in my area when they were released years ago. While it did everything that was asked of it and then some, I was never impressed. It was just sold last year. Now I am quite impressed with the RAP. I do agree with the above posts in that Ruger did the...

    Price of a S&W 66-4 4 inch

    Thanks for all the replies! After some thinking and reading everyone's posts, I'm gonna pass on this purchase. As much as I would love to own it, the price is just too much for what I'm getting. At the same shop, I can get a brand new 686 for $700. I'm just gonna keep my eyes out for a nice...

    Price of a S&W 66-4 4 inch

    The tag on the gun says "new in the box." I would assume that means never fired. Even if the gun had been shot, I couldn't tell. Part of me says to go ahead and get it. The other side says to wait, there is always a better deal. The grips had me a bit confused. They appear to be Uncle...

    Price of a S&W 66-4 4 inch

    Thanks for the reply! I was thinking myself that the price was a little on the high side. I'm in South Carolina and I was thinking around 500 would be a fair price. I only paid around 400 for my 19-5 about four years ago. I really need to stay out the gun shops! I went in there to make...

    Price of a S&W 66-4 4 inch

    Hi all! I recently came across a "new in the box" S&W 66-4 4 inch for sale at my local gun shop. It has the original box and papers with it. Timing is perfect and lock up is almost as tight as my Rugers! The price is what I'm concerned about. The shop is asking 599.99. They said the price...
