Title says it all.
Personally I think it's a real nice handgun for a reasonable price, yet I very rarely hear it mentioned on the forum.
I was strongly considering one when I move to KY this Spring/Summer.
Talk to me.
IF anyone is interested, today is the last day of Trulock's Black Friday Sale.

I couldn't resist the Buy 3 get 4th free, and ordered 4 Precision Hunter tubes for my Benelli Monte 20 gauge.
I am considering the purchase of an AR- style rifle next year, when I change my residency to the great state of Kentucky.
The new manufacture Colt M4 flat top has caught my eye, includes 1-30 rounder, and I was wondering if Colt still made a quality rifle.
I had a Colt AR-15 Sporter in the...
So, I haven't seen any discussion on this. (If I missed it somehow, I apologize).
Anyone besides me notice that Benelli offers their Ethos model shotgun in 28 gauge with a 3" chamber? And that Fiocchi catalogs 28 gauge 3" shot shells for it?
I'm kinda hard pressed to figure out the why. What...
I am in the hunt for some 20 gauge shotshells, especially 2-3/4" #6 & #7-1/2 lead, and/or 3" #4 or #5 lead.
I prefer Winchester and Fiocchi, esp. Golden Pheasant but times what they are I will also accept Federal and/or Remington.
I have the following cartridges to offer in trade:
.22 Short...
I missed a nice buck last year, but not with my rifle. As is my habit, I hunt every day. Mostly all day.
We got a cold snap this past season, in the teens. That's cold in the morning. It snowed a good 10-12" overnight one night.. In the morning I went down to the property trail to blast a...
Look at the head on this cabbage

In 1974, for my 14th birthday (at the time the earliest age you could hunt small game in NY with a firearm) I received a H&R Topper 20 ga single-shot...
I have a CVA Optima muzzleloading rifle, .50 cal, stainless if it matters. Purchased a couple years ago, haven't fired it yet. It's my Plan C, for Late Muzzleloader, if I don't get a deer during Early Xbow or Regular season. Not really an enthusiast in the black powder dept.
I need...
Surgery was successful.
Patient is recovering well.
Breaks clean and crisp @ 3 lbs., which is what I want in a hunting rifle.
Love the wide smooth face.
I really hate today's factory installed "blade" style triggers.
Edited twice. I'm tired what can I say.
3rd edit: I like it so much ima get...
The story so far:
I decided to add the Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14×50 CDS scope that I already had, as an additional scope on this rifle , for long range hunting.
Took some digging, as Warne had discontinued their Tactical rings for 1" tube scopes a couple years ago ( they still offer 30mm). Got...
Finally got around to mounting my new Leupold VX-R 4-12×50, on my Ruger American .308 Win. Warne Tactical (Picatinny) Rail, Warne Tactical rings. Rock solid hunting set up. The results were just what I was looking for. Although a 30mm tube scope with a 50mm objective lens, the scope is...
@CaseHardened shamed me into it.
This is my Harrington and Richardson revolver, cal. 32 S&W. Nickel plated, 5" barrel. This baby's likely turn-of-the-century (19th-20th). Proofed for black powder cartridges.
One would think, Schumer would have more sense, but, after his big speech, nothing could be further from the truth.
Apparently, in his eyes, the Democrat party can do no wrong, and he is taking the lead, in the United States Senate, trying to prep everyone to actually seriously consider the...
Got a nice doe this morning with my new Ruger .308. For those that like the details, Hornady American Whitetail 165 gr., range 155 yards. That was one ugly 25 yard long trail to the deer.
A fellow forum member, Armed Corgi, saw my post about my new Ruger American .308, and made me a very generous offer (Free!) on a new tactical bolt handle and knob, stainless steel with black melonite knob. I accepted, and as soon as I had a chance, did the swap. 45 second job, very simple. These...
So my wife ordered herself a new deer rifle online (another story), she chose a local FFL to receive it, and when it arrived she contacted the dealer to pick it up. We made arrangements to do so.
Now, this ain't my first rodeo. Come time to leave, I grab some cash from the safe, $2500 to be...
I was at the range last week. I always bring at least 2 rifles or handguns, as you can keep shooting while the barrel cools on your rifle in between strings, versus sitting there marking time.
With the exception of a BX trigger and the addition of Warne rings and bases, plus a Leupold FX-1...
This topic has been done SO many times over the years that it's stale, BUT I am going to post it anyways. If you search the topic on the internet, you will get many answers to the question.
I remember reading on Remington's website that they recommend a 30 in lb torque minimum, and 35 in lb...
The attached target is great for sighting in, and final zero. 1" square grids are easy to see and easy to make accurate scope adjustments for. Notice the 'green' circle above the 'red' circle, for 3 MOA/3" high zero @ 100 yards, gives you a 250 yard zero with 30/06 150 gr bullets, 7mm/08 139/140...
I don't know about you guys, but dirty scope lenses drives me nuts. Not sure how everyone else does it, but this is how I do it. Please note: this task requires time, patience, attention to detail, and thoroughness. Trying to knock this out 1 hour before you're due for a wedding reception isn't...
New one on me, and I wish to comply with NYS law. Guy wants to look at my .22 rifle for sale. Ad says NICS check required. Guy claims to have an FFL. Is sale without NICS check legal? How about it @Bullet Guy? Any input?

My Warne Tactical Rings and Tactical Rail (Picatinny style) arrived today. Yes! Now, to mount my new scope. Great day for an indoor project. Can't wait to see the results!
A doe and her yearling. Dead center on the atv trail, and look in the little clearing just to the right of the group of 3 small trees on the right of the trail.
How's about this lil gem from Ruger: Ruger® Hawkeye® Long-Range Target Bolt-Action Rifle Models
Did the math- using Hornady's .308 cal 178 gr ELD-X bullet with a G7 BC of .278 in a .300 Win Mag at a cool 3100 fps= 800 yard big game rifle. Smokin!
PS: Don't forget your 30mm tube scope and...
Finally, got around to installing my new Ruger BX trigger group, and Warne QD rings and bases on my 10/22 rifle. Scope is a Leupold FX-1 Rimfire 4x28, match made in heaven. Love the results.
Had a total of 10 does go by my house today, easily seen thru my sliding glass door. One doe was a piebald. Here's the pic. Although difficult to see, look at the small maple in the center growing on the bank. Follow the trunk up until you see just across the creek. To the right she stands, a...

I've spoken to my buddy numerous times. I suggested some 8" steel plates placed at random long distances on his property along the power lines, beyond 300 yards, with an adequate and SAFE backstop, for practice all pre-season. Loves the idea, and we're currently working on...
