Only bear I saw in Alaska was way more intent on salmon berries than humans. Hunting deer and elk in NM we have had the disconcerting experience of hunting up a canyon and in coming back down finding bear tracks over our own. One partner encountered a bear on a hunt I did not make, and jammed...

If each of you walked away happy, that is a fine trade, personally I like both .327 and .45 Colt. Even better, I have both and am keeping them.

On page one, Bat Masterson was mentioned as a baseball announcer. Close, he was a sports writer in New York City. He also bought a number of guns which he then sold as "once owned by Bat Masterson," While true, obviously they were never historically important guns once owned by Bat Masterson.

Recently bought one and then sent it to Ruger and had it converted to Bisley grip and hammer. It has pretty much become my go to carry gun wandering around in the desert. Waiting patiently to have a holster made for it, that will double for carrying Vaqueros.

no way to talk about a nice 1911.

Thanks Big, those links are a treasure trove of information. Good luck with keeping up with Lipsey models, you going for back issues as well? While I have some distributor exclusives, only those I prefer over the underlying model by the manufacturer. Off to subscribe to RENE. Thanks again.

Black crud on stainless Ugly. Nuf said.

Thanks Hawkeye, I went back to check the serial to see if mine was actually new/old stock made earlier, and discovered I can not find the serial in the Ruger site. It is 521- series and I find none with that prefix. Test fired date on mine was July 8, 2015 so it must be a new series not yet...

I have a .357/9mm Flattop made in 2015. I believe it was a distributor special. I had Ruger convert it to a Bisley.
