For the OP; Your question on adding a spare cylinder in .45 Colt. IN GENERAL,, yes,, it's actually easy. You measure the existing cylinder from your gun, for the overall length. (OAL) then, you look for a Ruger built, .45 Colt cylinder, with the same OAL, or even a few thousands longer. If it's...

Nice FlatGate .22! As noted,, appears to be a Type 2, and with a 4 digit number,, made in 1954. As for value,, it appears to having "aged" a bit where the grip frame has grayed to a duller color, (unless it's the pictures,) and has a little wear in a few places. Without very clear & close up...

That would give me nightmares hittman!

While I'm a bit younger than many above,, (born 1958), my Dad was born in 1918. He grew up in the Depression, and often spoke of many things he witnessed in his youth. I found it funny when Jim mentioned smoking. My Dad was a professional dancer as well as working in a mill prior to WWII...

Everybody has a different hand shape & size. What works for one person, may not work for someone else. I teach; "Fit & Comfort" when it comes to a proper handgun grip.

Hondo44 is correct. We'd need more info to help more.

I received the John Wayne video in an email. I had seen it before,, yet it's STILL excellent. And the Lee Greenwood video,, that too, I've seen before. Yet,, I NEVER tire of seeing these (2) excellent performances,, done by TRUE Americans. Thanks for posting both of these,,!!!!!

Possibilities; (1) Worker not in the office, and working at home. (2) Staffing shortage (3) Summer shut down for normal maintenance (4) Holiday staffing shortage

Welcome to the Forum! Sounds like you had a great day! Kudos!

After all this,,all I can say is that I would not have allowed that gun to sit in that LGS that long! Heck, anytime I see a FT Ruger I get the shakes & desires. :D :D

As noted above,, Ruger never called any of their models a "Dragoon." Yet, the Super Blackhawk does have what is commonly called a "Dragoon" style grip frame. If we have a serial number,, or at least most of it,, (example; 80-123xx) we can help a lot more if it is a Ruger. The factory site...

When I read that,, I'd like to think she was looking at that from the viewpoint of a Christian, forgiving someone, and willing to meet their dear departed.

RRM, you must have missed the part of my posts that said I was basing my comments upon YOUR posted information. You just added a lot more to the action where you were arrested & such. You were right,, I did not have all the facts,, AND I CLEARLY STATED THAT. In fact, in my previous posts, if you...

Bob,, it's ALWAYS good to hear from you. (PS; We are all gonna be at OGCA in a few weeks. You should visit. Even if you don't display,, we'd LOVE to visit some more! Maybe RR, Dan, & I can coax you into another elevator,,! :D ) I think you'd be wise to just buy a Wrangler,, and after you get...

As noted above,, some movies are well worth the cost of seeing it on the big screen & in IMAX. This was one of them. And we may only go to one or two movies a year, as we also wait on many to be available on TV.
