I have a few SA revolvers, a Bisley Vaquero in .45 long colt, and a Taurus Single action in 38/357 which looks a whole lot like a Colt Frontier. But for plinking around the farm up until now the only .22's I own are a colt semi auto and a bunch of rifles. So I have been looking for a SAA in .22 for plinking affordably. But I wanted a yard gun with fixed sites. Well, I got caught up bidding and winning a awesome never fired Colt Frontier scout in nickel made in 1969. But the moment I purchased it, I realized I can't shoot that gun. it's 46 years old and still a virgin. So now I needed to buy another .22 SA
I ended up purchasing a Ruger bearcat SS new in box the next day. Neither gun has arrived yet from my FFL dealer its only been four or five days since I did the FFL and sent the bank checks. My wife has no idea I ended up buying two guns,she knew I was bidding on one, but I didn't win that time. After I lost that bidding war I was determined to get a yard gun.
I have plenty of guns but I feel like a kid waiting for Santa. Every time the phone rings in my wife's presence I am hoping it is not my gun dealer calling and telling me my guns are in. I want them bad, and it doesn't matter how many stupid pairs of shoes she buys I know she will not be happy with my purchases right at Christmas. It's funny I don't care what she buys or how much anything cost, but boy she gets nosey when I am getting ready to buy something. She has more shoes than Emelda Marcos, but she thinks I have too many guns. Anyway, I love the Bearcat and the Colt. And the bearcat will be my fun pistol and the Colt will be ? I'm not sure what it will be yet. It doesn't even have rotation marks on the cylinder. I know this is a Ruger Forum and everyone knows what a new bearcat looks like. Not sure how to post a pic of the Colt here. But when I figure it out I will post a pic. JJ
