Hahahaha! You may have found the issue. I would like to say I didn’t put pressure down on it but I am certain like most things muscle related, younever realize some of the things you do. I will check into that and see. My goal is to use it for white tail deer hunting and most of the I do from...

I have a super Redhawk in 44 mag. I have been working on getting better at shooting it but I seem to have a consistent issue with it. I keep shooting high when not on a rest. When I use a shooting bench, all of my shots are about 2” low at 25 yards but when I stand unsupported, my groups are...

My late grandfather is who taught me all about guns and the love for hunting, plinking, and definitely safety (oh and Rugers!). It was always a treat to see what he would pull out of the safe to shoot with. One day he pulled out a ruger super red hawk in 44 mag. The thing terrified me at the age...

I have a few photos, I will have to get them uploaded and posted.

A local(ish) range was hosting their monthly SASS meet and I went out to check it out and join in. Seriously the nicest group of people I have met in a long time. Incredibly generous with their time, ammo, guns, and knowledge. I had to borrow a couple guns but I got a lot more time with the...

Thanks for all the replies. I shouldn't have said "overbuilt" since I agree, a solid built gun is always welcomed. I think I am leaning more towards the LCRx for the weight. I have a security six in 357 so the LCRx would vary the lineup a bit more. I have my eye on too many guns and most are...

I am curious if anyone has some personal experience with a GP100 in 22lr. I don't have a 22 pistol yet and was really liking the look of the gp100 and liked that it held 10. With 10 rounds, it could easily be a trap checking gun with no concern of running out of ammo. The gun seems a bit...

I have a 2 step plan for that. 1. Join ruger forum. 2. Buy 9mm 1911 Actually I can't completely blame others. I have a P226 that is my darling and I have enough guns on the wishlist that I think I would want something in a different caliber than 9mm. There is just no denying the sexiness of...

I have been tempted a lot but the circle I am around has deemed it sacrilegious to get a 1911 in anything but .45. I know I know... silly.

I am not sure if it is ok to post specific websites but if it is, I go through target sports usa. They have the best prices I have seen on almost any ammo and it is all free shipping when you buy 1,000+ which isn't tough to do if you shoot enough. They have 9mm in brass for 20¢/round and 45 for...

Blasphemy! Haha no a strat is a great guitar for sure. I grew up a les paul player and therefore find my comfort level is highest there. I have a nice strat that I do enjoy playing though. Hell yeah! A Byrdland is one classy guitar but the price of them pushes it way out of feasibility for...

Is there much difference between 22 and 17 in a pistol format? Seems like the capacity sacrifice would make the 17 less practical but I don't have a ton of 17 experience.

I have always loved 1911's. I like traditional things, lever action rifles, revolvers, Gibson guitars and a good cabless tractor. The 1911 is just so sexy. I have managed to hold off getting one for quite a while because the cost of ammo was a deal breaker. We constantly see $0.45-$0.60 per...

Good to know! I thought ruger was walnut on their wood stocks. I appreciate the info. If I remember right, the 180 would be quite a bit older with the thinner barrel, right? Mine is less than 3 years old so I am pretty positive it is the newest generation.

Looking for a wood stock for a mini 14. If you have one sitting around gathering dust, let me know. Would like to keep my tactical stock to switch between so at this point it would be a cash payment. Thanks!
