I'm just using the stock Ruger front sight and it's working fine for me.

I recently bought a #1 in .45-70 with a 26" barrel. I hated to spoil the lines of a #1 by mounting a scope on it, so I started shopping for peep sights. I came across the Williams and NEGC, but they both looked clunky to me. I came across Skinner Sights. Their products looked like exactly...

I'm being sorely tempted by an old Blackhawk that I don't need. I've not really considered collectible Rugers before so I don't know values. It's a Flat Top, .357, 6 1/2" barrel, original wood grips, unconverted, 1959 serial. Light turn line on cylinder, some holster wear and thinning bluing...

Nice. How often do you see plum parts like that loading gate on old Rugers?

I bought one. :)

A friend of mine just bought a used Ruger Security Six, and despite a close inspection (that did not include firing it), after two rounds today it refused to advance the cylinder either double or single action. We dumped the cartridges (factory ammo), and even with an empty cylinder it failed to...

I guess I got ripped off just like Jeff did - I bought a Colt Python from a guy this summer and didn't get any magazines either! That, plus Python magazines are just has hard to find as Ruger #1 magazines....... :)

Jeff, When is your review coming out on Gunblast?

Tough crowd. I like it (yes, I know I've only seen it online) and don't care if people call it a KT clone. The LCP is a KT clone also, but they've sold tons of them because people will pay extra to see 'Ruger' on the side. Okay, so it's not a pulse-plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, but it's...

Yawn? Anybody want to buy my LCP? I see no need for it after I get an LC9.

Josh, Outstanding work, thanks. I recently had to re-remove my mag DC after a trip to Ruger, I went right back to your how-to, and it seems to me there's a small mistake in the narrative. From Step 2: 'Release the Mag DC and press in the Striker Blocker, again while holding the Striker...

My SR-9's original trigger was terrible and a major disappointment. I did the 2000+ dry fires, which helped some, and the polished job which helped some more, then the Ghost, which helped more, but it wasn't a 3.5# trigger even then. I'm not putting the Ghost back for two reasons: 1. I...

They say the pistol was reassembled improperly but I have no idea how as they gave no detail other than what I reproduced above. It may have been me when I installed the Ghost, and it may have been by my son who I recently showed how to field strip & clean the pistol and he has been required to...

My SR9 developed a habit of not locking open on an empty magazine about 1/3 of the time. I called Ruger and shipped it to them (my dime). Further facts about the pistol, all of which I told Ruger: > It's about 18 months since I bought it new > 2000+ dry fires > Magazine disconnect removed...

MY SR-9 has a SuperTuck to ride around in, no problems.
