Last Saturday a friend and I were making the rounds before going to a basket ball game. Sitting in a LGS was a shinny stainless steel Ruger Vaquero, in 44 Magnum. She’s about 11 ¼ inches long, with a 5 ½ inch barrel. She had the original box but was hardly new and there is a ring around the...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lui6uNPcRPA I spent last week in Williamsburg, VA. While there I visited Colonial Williamsburg, the Colonial National Historical Park (Original Jamestown site) and the Jamestown Settlement. Above is a link to Colonial Gunsmith. While at Colonial Williamsburg’s...

Range Trip yesterday. I packed up the Ruger SP101 and the Ruger Bearcat. Not wanting to limit myself to 22LR I drug out a S&W Model 10-8 (M&P) 38 Special that I had bought last January. I lugged a Model 15 Combat around for 16 years with a pencil barrel and suspect the Bull Barrel will be a...

I stopped by Sportsman’s Warehouse this afternoon and picked up a Ruger New Bearcat Shop keeper. The Birds head grip feles great and the action is smooth. The engraved cylinder lends a nice look. Ruger’s design was influenced by some Remington Single Action Revolvers from the Civil War...

I was out doing some late Christmas shopping this afternoon and ran into a Ruger SP101 revolver. I’ve had one in .357 Magnum for a couple of years and they’re a great firearm. At Sportsman’s Warehouse this one was going for $579.99. A Military Discount knocked $29.00 off that so with sales...

http://news.yahoo.com/federal-judge-upholds-d-c-gun-law-195708492--finance.html If any of us gun owners thought that the politicians in Washington D.C. were just going to accept the Supreme Court's decisions in McDonald and Heller, forget it. Hopefully this ruling will be overturned as a...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8gyEjToC1M Bloomberg's cranking his "Common sense" Gun Control Campaign again (Not that he ever stopped) with the usual suspects involved. It's all about emotion and disarming more honest, law abiding folks. So I'm not waiting for the postman to drop the usual...

This shot gun is marked as a Firearms International Corporation Washington D.C. 20022. It’s a single shot, with a wire-skeleton stock. It fires a single 3” .410 gauge shot round. Legend says that they were zinc die cast pot metal casings with a rod stock insert. They were imported from Italy or...

Ruger Ranch Rifle .223 Caliber is what is stamped on the rifle. Back in 2009 Ruger New Mini 14 Range Rifles began to be roll marked with Mini Thirty. This one was made in 2009, with a SN 581-197XX stamped on it. She’s packing a Bushnell Sportsman 4x32 Rifle Scope. The Matte Multi-X72-1403...

I was out of town today, helping a friend bring his pontoon boat back to his house from the west side of the lake. We stopped in a local indoor range and they had a used Ruger LCP 380 for sale. This one came with the box, lock and rug. They were asking $225. for it. I checked it out real...

This is a picture of a F.B. RADOM VIS Mod.35.Pat.Nr.15567 per the slide marking the left side. It’s design was “influenced” by John Browning’s 1911 and Hi Power designs. There’s also a touch of the Spanish Ruby. It takes It’s a 9mm Parabellum or Luger round. It came with a single magazine...

Thursday, I was out making the rounds and this little beauty caught my eye. It was a S&W Model 22 A1 22LR. I was hoping it was a Match Grade Model 41 which is an upscale version. But it wasn’t. A fluted bull barrel, with a single piece wooden grip can be a real eye catcher. S&W sell it as...

I was born in 1950, growing up back then if you turned on the Television it there were loads of Cowboy Shows. Roy Rogers, Cheyenne, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman, the Virginian and others. Cowboys wore wide brimmed hats, rode a horse, and packed a 45 Caliber Six Shooter and a lever action...

I was out making the rounds today with a friend and ran into an old Classic Smith & Wesson Revolver, chambered for .38 Special ammunition. It was a Model 10-8 revolver, with a square butt and a 3 inch barrel, non-pinned. It’s a “heavy barrel” and in great shape. The asking price was $399.00...

If you looked at this puppy and thought Colt Government Model 1911, you’d be close especially if you saw Colt’s 1973 Catalogue. They were going to do a Pony. This one is marked as an Iver Johnson Pony Cal 380, made in Jacksonville, AR sometime between 1978 and 1992. If it were an Iver Johnson...

It’s raining cats and dogs today in South Carolina. So no long walks or fishing trips at the lake. So I packed up the Ruger LC9 and a Beretta PX4 Storm. I wanted to see how the Ruger faired in comparison to the Beretta. I also packed up a Colt Walther Government 1911 22 LR. I put 50 rounds...

I was out making the rounds this afternoon when I spotted a used Ruger LC9 going for $260.00. I took a look and it didn’t come with a box or the safety lock key/tool. I borrowed a paper clip and popped her open. The inside looked great aa did the exterior. 95% easily. I got home and found...

I decided that I was going to take a trip to Palmetto State Armory and hit their gun range. So at about 11:30 I headed that way. I'd let my range membership expire last month. They wanted $250.00 a year for a member ship renewal. So I did the math and told them I pay by the hour or half hour. At...

I hope you folks have been writing to your elected officials regarding our right to bear arms and soliciting their support of the 2nd Amendment. Right now the Media is full of stuff about the government shut down but be assured the President, Joe Biden, Harry Reid and the rest of the gun...
