The Gallery of Guns buy saved me $35 over the not so good one at the big box, $598 out the door. I'd rather give the LGS business, anyway. The Wolff springs should be here in an hour or so. I hope they do as raved about on the various forums. I don't understand how the one I passed up had an at leas...

Big sigh of relief, I got a very good one. Straight barrel and front sight. Tight lockup on all eight chambers. Barrel/cylinder gap of .004. A very few tiny tool marks inside the cylinder window. Trigger pull is tolerable, both SA and DA; I've felt worse on others I've handled. The cocking effort co...

I've had to send three Rugers back and don't care to do it again. Whatever happened to the days when you would practically buy a new gun without even cocking it? Quality control is such a big online issue, and the maker's own figures should tell them it's a problem. I can't believe that all the retu...

Looked at a SP-101 .22 with intention to buy, but Ruger QC killed it. Great lockup, fit, finish, cylinder/barrel gap. Trigger and hammer were lighter than some I've looked at in the past. Ruger QC missed an over turned barrel, enough to clearly see. So the barrel rib leaned to the left. The front si...

If the decisions are left to the beancounters and lawyers, Colt is gone. They need to modernize, and go back to the classics. They are way behind on innovation; most other makers have already "been there, done that". The problem as usual, is with the investors. New machinery and processes payoff lon...

What those two idiots didn't realize is in Texas the word "draw" has a whole different meaning. It wasn't really a cartoon drawing contest, it was a "Draw, Mohammed!" contest. http://usercontent1.hubimg.com/9500226_f260.jpg R, Bullseye Here's a slightly different opening for Gunsmoke, done as a jok...

I have a W7 desktop and laptop, and an old XP laptop. The XP has been loaded down with so many "updates" that it's half as fast as it was new, which was still slow compared to my newer W7 machines. I'm sure Microsoft purposely loads down old machines to force you into new ones. The W7s have continua...

VA will count one of several online classes as your CCW "training". All I needed was my 38 year old Army discharge. I never touched a handgun there. So "instruction" is already iffy. I'm in favor of constitutional carry. Then if you're traveling (especially long-haul truckers) or move to another sta...

I watched some of the Clint Eastwood movie "Magnum Force" yesterday. One of the bad motorcycle cops screws a silencer onto a revolver before he takes out a mob boss. It works, too!

Amazes me how the little short silencers in movies work so well, anyway. Just a quick low pitch whistle.

Ruger has caved to CA....... :( ........but I suppose helped Kalifornia shooters. Website says: "The LC380CA™ California compliant model (3253) reflects the unmodified pistol as originally approved by California in 2013." The entire rest of the country is waiting for other new models, ......and they...

Finally made it to the range Sunday. I just took one of each model gun, since the other half of each pair should have the same results. The Sentinel did well, extracting cases easily until about 150 rounds. Then a quick pass with a nylon bore brush got it back nice again. The Bearcat was an improvem...

Tried to order a Bearcat trigger this morning, but no dice since it is a "factory fitted" part. I already have one, that I bought from Ruger 4 years ago. In fact, I have a bag of parts that would make another Bearcat if I had a frame and cylinder. All bought from Ruger. In the LCR manual, every sing...

It's a stainless hammer that's been totally blackened, then the sides were sanded to a bare brushed stainless. Doesn't matter now anyway, an inquiry to Ruger has them sending me another hammer at no charge. This one is supposed to be all stainless finish. Theiir CS didn't understand the two-tone ham...

I was changing my Bearcat spare parts from the coin envelopes they were shipped in four years ago, to zip locks. I noticed the hammer is all black, except bare brushed stainless on the sides. Then I noticed the part number didn't match the manual. It does start with a "K" confirming it's stainless. ...

Current news stories are now claiming a SWAT team shot the shooters, not the traffic cop. Why would the facts change after several days? Are they just trying to save the SWAT team some embarassment that a lowly traffic cop did their job?
