I purchased a holster from Tucker Gunleather for my new Ruger Single Seven. Well that didn't work out so now I have a brand new never used holster that I would like to sell. The holster as mentioned is left-handed and it is a cross draw model for a 1 3/4 inch belt. If you have purchased or...

While I'm not a reloading expert if you have a larger gap you're losing pressure and you are compromising accuracy because your not getting the same velocities you would otherwise so accuracy would be somewhat compromised by the different velocities you would be getting as a result of the...

I purchased a Single 7 a while back in the .327 magnum and have sent it back to Ruger a couple of times to look it over and fix some things. After my most recent return I wanted to check the cylinder gap. I was kind of curious what it would be as when firing it I notice a lot of stuff blowing...

I sent a message about this misaligned primer strike issue to a gunsmith who works on single action revolvers and here is what he sent back to me. Sounds like improper machining of either; chamber locations, base pin holes in the frame, the bolt, the bolt opening in the frame or the cylinder's...

Bearcat. My revolver has shot everything I put through it and seems to be hitting the target accurately but I don't think that should be the only indicator that everything is okay. I own several revolvers and none of them hit off center on the primer like this. I'm not a gunsmith but it seems...

I purchased one of the new Ruger single sevens and after firing several boxes of rounds through it see that it is striking the primers off center quite a bit. While I've not had any misfires it seems to me that hitting the primer so far off center is a problem with the guns timing or something...

Hey guys thanks for the suggestions. I was a bit miffed getting two new guns and each having a little bit of a problem. Nothing too big to handle but it is always interesting to hear what folks think and sometimes it helps put perspective on things. The scope ring is gone and I've yet to do...

In recent weeks I have purchased two new Ruger firearms that I've been looking at for some time and finally got the gumption and funding to purchase them. Both happened to be Lipsey model Rugers but that is not why I purchased them per se but more for the right calibers in the right gun. The...

Well from what I understand the .32 ACP is semi-rimmed cartridge and is one of the cartridge options you can shoot in this revolver. If you look at the review for this revolver on Jeff Quinn's Gunblast you'll see he shows ballistics for this cartridge being shot through this revolver. Here is...

Hi Dave. I picked mine up yesterday at a local gun dealer here in Washington State and the price of mine was $529.00 prior to tax and $15 shipping. I got out the door for a little under $600. As far as how do I like it. I went to the range immediately after picking it up and put a bunch of...

A good friend inherited some firearms and as part of that there were several Ruger revolvers involved. He has kept some but is interested in selling seem others. A couple of those are early flat top models. Both are .44 magnums, one from 1959 in a 6.5 inch barrel and one from 1960 with the 10...
