    What's the highest ripoff price you've seen for 22 ammo?

    I just quit shooting. Scaled way back. 'Course I'll buy three times the normal amount first chance at accepted/perceived fair price. An exhibitor at a recent local gun show had recent manufacture .22 brick 'offered' at $80 and was catching all sorts of grief. Spooky to think so many idiots...

    upcoming Ruger products?

    Worth repeating! I have a SP101 snub,have been looking for a SP101 three inch ....can not locate one in my area,my Lipsey Flat Top 44 Spl. has introduced me to the world of 44 Spl. (yep,I have 44 Mag too thank you).44 Sprcial is becoming more and more acknowledged,used and sought after. The...

    Ruger Five Shot .44 Special prototype test

    No No No! Stick with reasonable dream outcome; five shoot .44 Special. Maybe even followed by Mag. Years ago,when Bill was alive I,like apparently so many others wrote and asked for a five shot .38,just like my Colt Agent.....only "Ruger". Enter 101....... It's time. Can't even locate...

    Ruger Five Shot .44 Special prototype test

    This test gun (Charter Arms .44 Spcl. Bull Dog) featured a 2.5 inch barrel- seemingly 'balanced' compared to the GP101 Snub. Three....and up to four inch barrel offerings could also be ideal. Recoil was,well......low pressure Special- mild. "Pleasant".Accuracy decent, and reflective of inherent...

    gp100 for deer?

    Like any firearm or employed hunt instrument- within limitations and capabilities. My GP100 4 inch has seen little use in the field,in favor of SA 44 Special,Mag.

    Blackhawk 44 Special For Farm Carry

    My Ruger Flat Top .44 Special, 4 5/8" Bbl. is a favorite. Buffalo Bore offers "Heavy" .44 Special,255 Grain Keith. Comfy to shoot.Ammo availability is improving. I have Private Schultz grips. In keeping with the overall trim design I went with standard design panels- possibly a wee bit wider...

    woods carry, who carries what?

    Lipsey .44 Special 4 5/8 Bbl. Buffalo Bore "Heavy" 255 Gr. Keith. Custom field holster with trigger and sight guard,and I also figured out that a simple flap holster can be ideal. The 44 Special Flat Top is certainly a woods rambling,'packing' masterpiece. Ideal for chance year round hog. The...

    Grips for the .44 Sp. flat top

    With my Lipsey 44 Special I wanted to retain the original trim feel and function- as opposed to hand filling Badgers on my 44 Mag,so I simply replaced the factory grips with Private Schultz grips- ever so slightly more hand filling than Ruger original yet still compact,trim. And very comfy when...

    shot a few autos today i think i will stick with my revolver

    Browning High Power was awful. Harrington & Richardson was better. First gun I ever shot was Dad's H&R nine shot .22 (big cylinder gap.....loud) wore it out- received Ruger Single Six,soon followed by experience with family Mark I. A .45 Auto came and went,glad for the experience,the Lipsey...

    Rate These Three Revolvers

    I have no experience with the Colt King Cobra. I traded a SW 686 Snub for a Ruger GP100 Four inch. That was some time ago, shortly after the GP series became available. I traded the Smith because of the Ruger ruggedness factor, looking for a handgun a young man would have for life that would...
