    New SP101 in .327 arrived today - Quality Control ???

    I sold a matching pair of SP 101’s with 4.2” barrels purchased in 2016 because rear sight blades were so loose neither would hold zero. Ruger double action rear revolver sights are not what they used to be on the OM Blackhawks

    New 10/22

    Thanks........... the K. word for camo pattern makes sense. Already nailed one for $380 out the door when it comes. My dealer loves me!! (In fact, he sold me my 2nd Springfield SA-35 on Saturday at dealer cost just to move one.)

    New 10/22

    Perfect!! THANKS so much! I have a 2005? Birch stock Compact version that lives permanently in back of Jeep. Love the short barrel but hate the rear sight style. Just threw the 31183 at my dealer friend and asked him to stop looking for a compact. He orders from Davidsons regularly...

    New 10/22

    Hi Sharp. Could you share the catalog number of this model?? Like yourself, I don’t care for the camo, but I want another 10/22 with 16” barrel that has Standard fold-down sights. I have a second Compact model on order but dislike the rear sight on that version. THANKS! Bo in western NC

    Lcp max

    Congrats on the purchase. Sharpblade: Looks like you have a scarce LCP Custom. That is my every day carry and love it. It will actually hit a volleyball at 15 yards, so good enough. Sights are great, considering what the little pistol is. While at it, I bought a LCP Max about 2...

    9mm Cases - Reloading Problem

    No investment, minus a sore back. I built a 100 yard range at a cabin I own with some other guys. Two of the members do not reload and leave all their brass. And of course I come along and pick it up after they've been blasting away. These CBC cases came from them. Pain to sort through...

    9mm Cases - Reloading Problem

    Howdy. Been reloading number of calibers since 1969 including 9mm. Currently have a half dozen 9mm semi's, Ruger PC-9, and convertible Blackhawk Old Model with 9mm cylinder. Never really had any feeding problems until recently. My load is 125 cast RN. Recently noted a number of...

    Light Reloads: Ruger PC 9mm Carbine?

    Howdy. Being a Blue Steel and Walnut dinosaur, honestly, this is not my type of rifle. So asking myself: "Why?" My answer is: "I don't have one and it looks like a great toy!" Picking up a Ruger PC Carbine, catalog # 19100 tomorrow. I reload light loads for two 9mm 1911's and two...

    Flattop 44 mag!

    Beautiful OM Blackhawk!!! Having several OM Super Blackhawks, I never really (seriously) had adding an original Flat Top to the mix of OM's in the vault. HOWEVER...................... in 2016, I was on a buying roll at the Asheville Gun Show and had already purchased two fine older...

    Ruger #1 Safety?

    Got a much-needed chuckle, Hitt! Love it when problems work out “on their own.”

    Ruger #1 Safety?

    *** news flash: Pulled it back out of vault. Safety would slide back but not stay. So held safely button back with thumb and cycled action. While PULLING on trigger, I slid safely Forward. The hammer dropped and it re-set itself. Working fine now!!

    Ruger #1 Safety?

    Howdy. Was cleaning the about 2009 built #1 in .223 today and messed with the two trigger screws a bit. Screwed the forward screw in until the trigger would not pull, then backed out enough until the hammer was dropping, then turned another half turn or a bit more. Then I noticed after...

    Ruger .45 acp Cylinder -problem Solved

    Bob and all................... When adjusting the "new" seating/crimping die, seems I did drop a factory military hardball round into the Ruger .45 acp cylinder and it went home nicely and dropped out just as well. My problem was that I was crimping all rounds with the old Lyman...

    Ruger .45 acp Cylinder -problem Solved

    Model: Ruger Stainless Flat Top .45/.45 Convertible Lipsey model 5.5 inch: A few weeks ago, I had trouble with stuffing .45 acp into the auxiliary Ruger convertible cylinder while at the cabin. Most were stopping at about 90% "in" and had to be pushed in with a lot of thumb force...
