A Word on Ruger Revolvers

[Ruffinogold]

I just got a Ruger Single Six or whatever its called , in .22 stainless . My stepfather passed and my Ma gave it to me but Im giving it to my step brother when I see him next . I told Ma ... see , this is what drives kids nuts about " steps " .. I shouldnt be getting this gun , his son should .

You should try the Single Six out first though. You know, run it through it's paces just to make sure it's safe for your step-brother. Try some rat shot too, maybe on some crappy pipe I sent you. lol

What a lovely idea just happen to have some rat shot. I'd forgotten about that pipe

I fell out of love with my 41 magnum Blackhawk. The base pin backs out under full house loads. There is an aftermarket base pin with a set screw that you drill a .050 hole in your barrel for that apparently solves the issue. My feeling is you should not have to resort to something like that to shoot magnum loads in a magnum.

I don't keep guns I don't feel I can trust my life to. I have a Smith & Wesson Model 57 on the way to replace it. My favorite handgun caliber, I'm not abandoning 41 magnum.

I shot a cylinder in a Model 57 in 1969. Worst experience ever. My arm and hand hurt for 2 weeks. My 44 mag snubbie is easier on me. I understand that the ammunition back then was loaded a lot hotter than it is now.
