    The Quick And The Dead Again

    I liked it.. But strictly good light entertainment. Mostly hollywood gun people doing what they do best..inaccurate portrayal. i much prefer Ronin or "way of the gun" 'love and a .45" was good too.

    Important information on the Ruger SP101 327 Federal.

    Mine has had no issues. I find the federal(AE) 100 gr loads to be very hot. More so than any other round i have fired in this gun.I could see why there have been extraction issues from this round although i have had none. i reload my practice rounds. My preferred carry round is the 115...

    Two coyotes kill big 10pt deer - trail cam pics (Graphic)

    yotes generally go for the fawns and weak. First shot of this deer shows it's ass all chewed up.So the process had already started when it got to the TC .Maybe the flash blinded the deer so it stayed put (like a deer caught in the headlights).And the yotes just finished what they started. I...

    which gun for conceal carry

    Ha !!That being said the sp101 is also a great choice imho It's Light but really is not a pocket gun..357 mag is a proven man stopper. Mine is in 327 mag but is a worthy choice as well with one extra round. I don't carry the sp in the cooler months (7 or 8 months a year here) Unless i feel...

    SP101 .327 magnum owners...where are you?

    I read about this round when it first came out.With the ammo shortage and all the stockpiling .i figured i would wait until i could buy brass. I figured if folks can't get ammo the round may die a premature death. Well Things are better now and about a year or so ago I found some brass. Also...

    What is the SP101's place in the natural order of things?

    It's all relative . My sp101 is a welcome change to cc'ing a 1911 all day long. .I don't feel it much at all.It conceals iwb under a dark t shirt.Plenty of power (327). I don't think i would ever buy an LCR or any one of those mini light weight guns .My sp101 fills that niche .I have a na...
