ruger

I got a sweet deal on a used SP101. After I bought the gun I gave it a basic cleaning and inspection, took it to the range and shot a box of .38's without issue. Then I took the gun completely apart cleaned and lightly lubed everything AND installed a wolf reduced power hammer spring (10lbs) and...

Well friends, I had been eyeing the S&W Shield 9mm for about a year as my carry gun. Thursday the 17th I went to a local gunshop/range to finally buy the shield, due to a sizable christmas bonus check from work. The place was packed at 5:20 pm. I said I was there to buy the shield in 9mm and...

Hello friends, I'm considering a new double action .44 Magnum revolver and I'm a big fan of Ruger, so naturally the Redhawk in .44 Magnum seems like a good selection. I'm not sure if I'd rather get the 5.5" or the 7.5" barrel though. I think the 5.5" Redhawk in SS is quite a looker but I have...

* Join Date: February 26, 2014 Posts: 11 custom ruger gsr I'm getting a stainless 18" Ruger Gunsite Scout. I plan on removing the rail conventionally mounting a scope (prostaff 2.5-10×40) via ruger rings. I'm still wanting back up sights. I don't want a forward mounted optic and I...

Can a Henry hold up to hot 45 colt loads that can be fired from a Ruger? I have a couple Henrys now of different calibers and am wondering about getting a Henry in 45 colt. If I go in the woods, etc with both firearms it would be nice to shoot the same caliber and same loads out of both guns...

Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my post and hopefully reply, I hope for this thread to be about my decision to purchase my first revolver as well as the generalities of the Super Blackhawk/44 Magnum cartridge. First off let me say that I'm relatively new to the hobby only...

So Ive got a LNIB S&W Shield that im going to get rid of posted on Armslist. Ive got three trade offers so far, and I cant decide on which one to take. First is a Beretta PX4 9mm full size which I know retails for more than the Shield. Second is a Ruger p95 (sadly discontinued) which retailed...

Between both of these revolvers which one is made better, more accurate and better for personal protection? Take note the Ruger that I know of does not make 7 shot revolvers. The Smith comes in both 6 shot and 7 shot revolvers 586 and 686. The Smith & Wesson brand is always more expensive...

I just got lucky and my dad said he would go in half on a 400 or under rifle for my birthday. The 2 i was debating were the ruger american and the Remington 770. I looked at both and they looked very similar and felt similar. Both were also within 50 bucks. also they had 30-06 and 308. my...

I am a fan of traditional double action pistols, party because I'm a bit clumsy. Also, my hands are weak and the slide mounted safety levers, the ones that 1911 fans love to hate, make slide manipulation easier for me. My problem is making my new KP345 more pleasant to shoot and manipulate. The...

Hi everyone. I just purchased a ruger super blackhawk and found out it is an exclusive edition distributed by Talo rather than Lipsey. Is there a difference? What do these distributors do to the gun to make it an exclusive? Thanks in advance.

Tell me if this makes sense to you. I like TDA pistols, so I recently picked up a NEW/OLD STOCK Ruger P345. It worked fine, but kicked a lot for me and felt kind of clunky. So, I switched to a lighter 19 pound hammer spring and a heavier 17 pound recoil spring. The pistol is now much more...

I own over a dozen ruger wheel guns, but i recently traded for one that has stamped on side in black letters MDTN 40. it is a police service six in 357 4 inch barrel made in 1979. paid for letter from ruger but they cant tell me what the stamp means. bought in private sale owner didnt know...

With Ruger's announcement of their AR-223 it has me wondering, how far are we from quality $349.99 or even $299.99 ARs? I'm sure a Ruger American bolt-action rifle in .223 costs nearly the same to build and market as an AR-556. Bud's currently has Ruger Americans for $342.00. I think that...

I will preface this post with: I live in Massachusetts. For those out of the loop, we still have the awb and a list that governs what pistols a dealer can sell you. Now to the good stuff. I have a small chunk of change saved and I want to buy a new pistol. I have a SW shield 9mm already...

I'm looking into buying a couple more mags for my 'new' P94. My question is if the Mec-Gar 15 and/or 17 round mags will stick out the bottom of the gun, or if they would be flush-fitting like the stock 10r mags? I'd prefer to order the largest capacity that will fit flush!

No doubt we've all seen threads asking whether or not so-and-so should purchase a Heritage Rough Rider and many times, someone chimes in and suggests saving a little more and getting a Ruger Single-Six. They make claims that "you get what you pay for" and the additional money is well spent...
