Well, now that you changed one number, you are only one typo away from a consec pair!

Once you realize that there are alternate sources for beef jerky, hot sauce, Pakistani knives, and turquoise jewelry, the appeal of gun shows diminishes.

If you have 156921, I can't imagine why you are not jumping on this one to make a consec pair ;)

Great! I have a 3" GPNY with an aftermarket Pach grip that needs one of these Ruger compacts! To anyone that missed out, these are in stock again at shopruger.com

A 1953 Single Six is a real treasure. They didn't make many that first year since production only got rolling in December. The thing that makes yours even more special is that it is a First Day of production gun! There is a table of all the 1953 guns in Dougan's P&R book on page 354 and #93...
