    Which barrel length is better ?

    I like the way J D Moreguns thinks. Get both and you will probably want a 7 1/2 one later on..LOL

    Fanner 50

    fez, Rugers are the number one gun in cowboy action shooting. These folks do not fan but thumb their guns for speed. You have to remember, the hammer will only go so far back and forth. The hammer spring dictates the fail of the hammer, all you are doing is bringging the hammer back in a fast...

    Ruger Vacquero vs US Firearms

    If your looking for a six gun that will be handed down after a life time of use, buy the Vaquero. If you want something to put up and collect and not shoot buy a USFA, But I cannot see buying a USFA for $1250. When you can buy a real Colt for around $1200. Do you folks really like the USFA...

    Mitchell Single Action Army

    These where made usually for Mitchell Arms by Uberti. Parts can be easily found from Numerich gun or even Uberti. They are great little shooters but were not made to Fan. They cannot hold up to the abuse of fanning and you will end up with problems with springs and firing pin issues, plus you'll...

    Do you shoot the BearCat Well?

    I bought a new SS for my daughter and it is a great little shooter with Aquila Humingbird CB caps. I have taught her to shoot and how to reload it. This little pocket revolver is my second one and now I think I am going to buy me one to convert to 22 mag for a river gun...

    Vaquero - Front Sight Adjustment

    I had a 45 colt Vaquero which did the same thing. I thought it was my trigger pull. I called Ruger and explained the problem to the Tech and he instructed me to do a few simple things and if that was not the correction he would send a shipper and give it to a Tech at Ruger to fix. He wanted a...

    Stainless NM Blackhawk and 9mm cylinder

    sydtheframer, a used blued one is probably your best bet. I have one for my vaquero and for my New model blackhawk, both were bought from a friend. I called Ruger and they told me they would not fit a 9mm cylinder to a 357 gun if it was not origanlly shipped with one. They wanted my serial...

    why stainless not blue?

    While getting into my Ford, not chevrolet (because Ford has not used any Stimulus money) I finished off my Coors Light (because Anhiezer Bush has been sold to a German Firm) in the bottle, not can, Checking out all the Butts, Big or small and all in between ( because I am a man and we owe it to...

    Extra Clyinder for new model 357 mag

    Little input please. I bought an extra 9mm cylinder from a friend for my 357 new model blackhawk. When installed it is locking up when I try to turn the cylinder. Here is the question... Do I mill the front of the cylinder where it is hitting the forcing cone or do I need to take it off the rear...

    SR9 vs. Glock

    Gentlemen, my two cents worth. I own a ton of Ruger firearms from 10/22's, single sixes, blackhawks, Vaqueros', SP 101 to Gp 100's, but I do not own a single Ruger centerfire pistol. I am a CC avocate and even carry a Keltec to church on Sunday. Why?. Because I can. I want to love the Rugers...

    OM Flat Top Micro sight blade

    Bearstopper, I have a friend who takes the rear sights off and makes 3 screw vaqueros out of Old Model 357s and all of the rear sights I noticed yesterday are setting in his shop in a pint jar. I do not know if any were flattop micro sights but I would feel pretty positive to say that out of...

    Original Brass Frame

    Last night I puchased the Brass frame and the guy was going to install it and stopped and said, "this is an old model frame and you have a new model gun". We discussed buying an old model SBH and holding the frame until I got one and then like Flatgate says we decided to not modify the old brass...
