    Stripping Wrangler grip frame

    I don't have a Wrangler but I do own a blued steel Single-six. I stripped the black paint off of the grip frame with just paint remover and some metal polish to make the grip frame a high gloss finish. The grip frame now looks very nice. My only surprise when I did this was there were some...

    Single Six Convertible 7.5" NM...good price?

    I'm an older guy and I miss stuff. Did we say this one is blued steel or stainless steel?

    I didn’t even know I needed this…

    This is what I miss about Bill Ruger. He would make certain guns, just because.

    I didn’t even know I needed this…

    Actually I've just about got this disease cured. I'm gonna turn 79 next week. None of my grandkids have much interest in guns, my daughter has no interest, and my son has casual interest but nothing to the extent that I've always had. I reduced my collection by probably 40 % and now don't...

    Does your wife carry?

    No, my wife has no interest in carrying, but that girl has one thing in her favor, she can scream and yell loud enough to pierce your eardrums. You might steal her purse, but you would be deaf for a month or two. o_O o_O

    Insulting the Ruger LCP II 22LR

    If a person makes the decision to carry a .22 handgun, I can see the advantages of a double-action revolver. In the case of a FTF the next round is only a trigger pull away. However, if one wants a semi-auto handgun, one I always liked is the Beretta model 21 Bobcat. It has a nice stout...

    Metal burr on GP100

    Just sharing the experiences one of the GP100 revolvers that I bought new. When I bought it, I had looked the revolver over, and swear that I cycled the action several times, but when I got it home I found an issue. When I cocked the revolver in single action mode, when I pulled the trigger it...

    Chinese knives

    I think I own 3 knives made in China, and they are surprisingly nice for the money. However, I don't plan on buying any more. I'm old enough that I don't "need" more knives, and if I feel I must they will be made in the USA.

    So I bought a 75th Mark 4...Got EXTREMELY lucky

    I've owned many guns in my lifetime, but none from my birth date or year to my knowledge, but that would go back aways.

    My new Super Blackhawk

    Oh my, that is a nice one. It's good to see that Ruger still can get it right. I had a similar experience on my 2015 Single-six, I was astounded at how good the blue finish was on mine. Will look forward to your range report after you shoot your Super Blackhawk.

    What are some people thinking?

    I like short barreled handguns, but my 3.5 inch Volquartsen match carry is about as short as I want to go.

    Opinion - Which grips?

    I see. Thanks. I like Hogue grips, they are comfortable and they fit the revolver nicely.
