So i ran into a used stainless single six that i'm interested in. It has some scuffs and scratches here and there but for the price that its being offered at i think it isn't to bad. The thing is that it only comes with the magnum cylinder. I'd like to get the 22lr cylinder but is it possible...

I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING THIS LAST NIGHT! :shock: So with the help of the internets i did some research. came up with this: Short Barrel: easier to carry/pack Long Barrel: better sight radius and alighnment, more velocity, recoil reduction, has a more "bad guy gun" look to it :wink: But...

Again thanks for all the advise everyone. When it comes to SD and HD what i would like to do is practice alot first so i can get very comfortable and confident with which ever firearm it may be. I fully understand why the GP100 would be the better choice for HD due to the points that were...

thanks for all the replys. im a bit surprised to hear it takes time to shoot a SA well. i thought i did ok when gave it a try. then again i only put 18 shots of 38 spl. through it... about the convertible blackhawk. ive read mixed reviews on it saying 9mm is so-so coming out of a blackhawk. is...

I want one but dont know which one. Ive given both a test drive and liked them both very much. The use for them? Primarily range gun and maybe...maybe as a home defense. Which ever one i get will be blued to give everyone an idea of maybe the price range i'm aiming for. Stainless is...

Had a good laugh with some friends talking about this topic. This is what we came up with Its not going to be a polymer single action, its not going to be a SR-40, its not going to be a DA wheel gun in 22lr, and its not going to be a 1911... Ruger is entering the car business to compete...

I have seen that some P90s have and dont have a lanyard loop. My guess is Ruger just decided to not put them on anymore because the P90s I have seen at shops do not have them. Also the website shows a P90 without one. I have done some research and found that the lanyard loop was part of the...

Very nice roaddog! Me likes alot :) I'll see if i can get the GP and i"ll update...hopefully.

Thanks for the posts. They did help. so i guess the empolyee in the shop was a bit off on his info by saying ruger still made them. Wow...$330.00 huh? that sounds great for a new GP. that was back then i guess. the shop had this GP for $399. For about 90 bucks more i can just get the GP with...

So i stopped at a nearby gun shop today and saw this 4 in. fixed sighted GP100. From what I know from the ruger website, they make the 3 in. stainless GP with fixed sights. I thought this was the only GP presently made with fixed sights but the guy i talked to at the shop said they also make it...

That's why I put this little report up. I wanted to shine some light onto the P95 and I think it deserves it. I know people that say "this other gun feels better in the hand" or "this other gun is more accurate" but for what it is it has met and passed my expectations. I'm looking forward to...

Just stopping by to say that i've reached the 600 round mark through the P95. This may not sound like much to many but I am very happy with the performance it has given. Had a few hiccups at first but ever since a good cleaning it has been flawless. Has shot everything I put through it and i...

I have like three of those Crossman holsters for the airsoft handguns that I have and shockingly, the P95 fit in them the the best! Better than the actual airsoft! I was wow-ed :o

I agree with you pistolpete it does seem like some nice ammo. Went to a Bass Pro looking to see if they had Blazer or not and found something called Winchester SXZ 9 Training. I went ahead and bought it because it was about 12.99 or so for 50 rounds. I have yet to go to the range and see how...

Thanks for all the help and advise everybody. So I gave the P95 a very good clean. Went to the range and put about 100 rounds through it. I couldn't do 200 due to limited funds. The P95's performance? Flawless! Everything went through without a problem. Slide locked back too. I feel that I had...
