Anyone know how to get the rosewood grips that currently come on a stainless Single-Six? The best identifier seems that they have "XR" routed into the back of both grips. I have one with those grips, and would like a spare pair. I have Hogue cocobolo on it now, but the factory grips are pretty top n...

My first Single-Six in the Seventies was .005. Same model exactly, the only difference being the grip wood. Hooray they haven't put the internal lock on the stainless ones yet. It's a shame to go through this whole song and dance because of a steel tube being .005 inches too short. I don't even know...

I can't believe Ruger's specs for cylinder/barrel gap are .003-.010. I think S&W's are .003-.007.

I just hope Ruger will still reset mine (probably a new barrel, easier for them to do) without argument.

Mentioned a cylinder/barrel gap of .007 in earlier post. Email exchange with Ruger, was told their factory specs were .003-.010. I had forgotten to pull cylinder back to remove play. My gap is .actually 010-.011. I don't have a .011 gauge, but ten fits, twelve won't. Gun is now on its way to Ruger, ...

I like the LCI on some pistols. The extractor sticks out beyond the slide contour, sometimes including a red spot of some sort being visible. When no round is present, the extractor is angled in below the surface of the slide. You can still see or feel a loaded indication. Neat, having a part that i...

But then, I don't wash and wax my vehicles every weekend either. Or even every year... I've washed my current vehicle once in the 20 months I've had it. Amazing how clean they'll stay with regular rain......... I do clean the windows and vacuum it out once in a while. Holster wear is fine, but I to...

Well, the LCI is a chintzy piece of plastic that has no useful purpose beyond satisfying some lawyers that the gun is safer for the average moron to handle. I can tell my LCI-less Mark III is loaded by memory, by pulling the slide back slighly and looking, or by seeing that the extractor is level wi...

I wasn't rude to the clerk, I just told her, "No". I thought to myself how it was none of their business. I had honestly forgotten the age difference between rifle and handgun ammo purchase.

At 52, old, graying and half bald nails it pretty good!

My top choice doesn't quite exist. If Beretta made it stainless, the 87 Cheetah. List is $755 for the blued one, so stainless would be more outrageous. Had the blued been less pricey, I may have bought it instead of my Mark III stainless bull barrel. Out of what I own, it's a toss-up. The Mark III i...

Scored some .22 bricks at Wally-World Saturday, and the sporting goods register was down. When I checked out up front, the clerk asked if they were for a handgun. I told her no, figured it's none of their business. Anyone else gotten this question?

Could this be from work-hardening? Steel work hardens from repeated flexing by bending, blows, or vibration. Eventually it gets too hard, and brittle, and you get stress cracks. I'm a former aircraft mechanic, and this is a big problem as airplanes age. The punishment of 60-80K rounds would certainl...

One could hope this will cause Ruger to delete the idiot LCI ? Miracles do happen........

Ouch...... I hate to see that these were all stainless receivers. One would think that would be stronger. At least the 60K round count helps me feel a little better. I won't live to put that many through mine. My LCI "plug" is stainless, follows the original shape, and is a tight fit. Especially, fi...
