    Stainless LC9?

    I've done some googling but keep getting results for guide rods and a talo exclusive that was engraved from last year... Now that the stainless LCP is out, does Ruger plan to release a stainless version of the LC9? I'm ready to buy one but I'd much rather have stainless and can wait if it will...

    WTTF P85 Magazines (one or two)

    I am picking up a Ruger P85 tomorrow and I want to pick up an extra mag or two. I have a Mossberg 590 sling adapter that fits between the stock and receiver, a mag/barrel clamp with sling loop for 12ga, a Remington 870 flash hider, knives, Glock 19/23 ASP red gun, etc. Please email me directly...

    New (to me) P85, where do I begin?

    A stainless slide would be great, but I don't know if I would try to change much else. The wait is going to kill me, Monday is never going to get here! :)

    New (to me) P85, where do I begin?

    Should I be concerned about replacing any springs or wear parts as preventative maintenance? I'm comfortable with field strip, its detail strip I'd be a little concerned about, I'll search for that post. I've seen a couple of slides for sale, if I find a stainless slide from a regular or MKII is...

    New (to me) P85, where do I begin?

    The one I got looks like a 1990 model so it may need the recall work. Is there any way to tell if it has already had the recall? It is just a P85, not a MKII, so are there any issues with parts interchanging if I need anything? I downloaded a manual, but are there any good resources or videos on...

    Biggest difference Vaquero vs. New Vaquero

    I got a couple of "decommissioned" frames off of S&W forum for K/L frame grips. They are frames that have been cut in half through the trigger guard and both sides of the cylinder window. I'm not even sure what the frame from Midway looks like because there is no picture, but it sounds like a...

    Biggest difference Vaquero vs. New Vaquero

    I actually got mine in .357 because that's what all my other revolvers are, so I won't have to worry about the cylinder, but I'm interested in the trigger job. Is that something that most people do themselves? Is it more tuning or changing parts? Any links? Thanks!

    Biggest difference Vaquero vs. New Vaquero

    I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but searching for "Vaquero" has a lot of results and I couldn't find a good comparison. I just bought a Vaquero on Friday and didn't see much difference between the "old" and New, but the "old" felt better in my hand. What is the top of the list for need...

    Any interesting Bearcats out there?

    I see that "S" is second, what does "D" stand for? Those stainless custom guns are unbelievable!

    Stainless 10/22...or not?

    Craig, I just threw up a little, I can only imagine how upset you were. I would definitely go with stainless, but the new 10/22s seem to have a paint over the stainless that I really don't care for. I was going to get one for the collection for my kids, but I'll have to try to find a new/old...

    Stainless LCP?

    It would be worth a couple of ounces, that would look GREAT! Any solid info on this?
