    How old are we

    Well...these "kids" will be running the country at some point in the future so it is definitely worth a mention at least. My "kids" know the importance of our 2nd Amendment rights and the obvious lack of interest in firearms of other kids is at least somewhat concerning. I do realize that...

    How much was your first house?

    $72,000 for a 3 BDRM and 2 BTH 1100 sq. ft. home on 6th acre. Ontario, California. Bought it in 1980. We still own it and rent it out now. Interest rate was over 13% during the Jimmy Carter years.

    How old are we

    Despite your age you've got a healthy attitude. Realizing that you're slowing down and can't do everything as well or as quickly but still making an effort means that you really aren't a worn out old man quite yet. Keep on keeping on! 🙃

    How old are we

    It's sad to know that so few young people are represented here, up to this point anyway. I hope that changes.

    American Rifleman

    The whole idea behind a magazine is income generation. Money is the blood and guts of lobbying and is needed to push an agenda. The agenda is, or should be, for us to retain our 2nd Amendment inalienable rights to defend ourselves against a renegade government bent on controlling it's citizenry...

    Is the Single-Six a Blackhawk?

    Hey, rugerguy! My apologies if my original question caused such a "ruckus", as my late mother-in-law used to say. 😆

    Is the Single-Six a Blackhawk?

    "One thing Ruger makes more simple than some gunmakers is that they put the name of the gun right on the side of the frame or barrel." -hittman- Right on target, Sir!!! Like

    Is the Single-Six a Blackhawk?

    Thanks for answering my question. You may be a little generous with it not being a dumb question. Lol! I do appreciate it. I purchased this Single-Six a couple of years back, apparently for a very good price. It was made in 1975 and it looks like brand new. It's a star revolver and shipped...

    Is the Single-Six a Blackhawk?

    Dumb question perhaps? Is the Single-Six considered part of the Ruger Blackhawk family of revolvers?

    Question on/for FFL

    Generally, it's better not to be derogatory towards other contributors. I thought that the post in question was intriguing and very interesting. Your reaction was negative, almost to the point of being personal. Look, perhaps I was wrong to react as I did to your response. It just seems that...

    Meet the 5 Best Concealed Carry Semiautomatic Guns

    Personally, I love both the PPK and Makarov. That said, neither is comfortable to shoot. (Neither firearm is the absolute best choice but what is the best is relative.) I've carried the Makarov for years as it was affordable at the time I needed it. (The PPK is a safe queen. Both have historical...

    Question on/for FFL

    There is always someone who will try to belittle another for asking a reasonable, interesting and legitimate question on forums such as this. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Peachead is an appropriate handle that you have chosen for yourself, grumpy. If my comment...

    1 Ruger Revolver & 1 Ruger semi auto pistol. If you had to pick one of each to survive.

    If I expect to be isolated from humanity but not from predators, I would probably choose a wheel gun for close defense (back up). My Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag would fit the bill. Small varmints calls for my Mark II .22lr. As far as a rifle is concerned I would have to choose a non-Ruger...
