My first pistol is the Sig 229 (.40S&W) in the center. Purchased in 1995. I guess I got a little carried away after that... :-)

Carried away? Looks more like a nice start to me! :-)

In NJ they consider your collection an "Arsenal" if you have more than two guns and 50 rounds of ammunition... BB guns included... :-)

NJ has a ridiculous pistol permit system that is just not worth dealing with, my long gun collection is where I kinda got carried away...

Need it, need it, got it, need it, got it, got it, need it.....LOL

Don't do that to me while I'm drinking... Now I need a new keyboard, again... :-)

Just got the Draco. Time to get to work on a folder!

Ok, now your talking

I'll work up a load for you off some I have for that same rifle. We'll toy with the loads and then I'll make 20 or so.

Smith MP 40. All texturing done by me.

Mag of course is painted now. Pics were taken the day I received it. I have stretched her legs out to 1000yrds and she pretty accurate.

I will post up pics of my M4gery later, got some running to do then i will snap some pics.

Is anyone else very tempted to jump on one of these?

I was looking for a CCO style, but.... Damn.
100% American made, stainless, many parts you would usually replace on a GI or standard on a higher priced unit (skelly trigger, Novak style sights, BTGS, commander hammer, titanium firing pin, ext mag release, flared & ext ejection port). It has a lot going on. Ruger may have finally jumped in the 1911 x-ring with a mid-level winner. While the MSRP is only 799.... yeah, that's right, 799! I imagine they will get more than that for a while, but when the dust settles, the street on these should be a little over 6.... and that is a LOT of pistol for 6+.

Seems like a good price, havn't read about any reviews. Reminds me of a Springfield.

Sounds like a good deal. I would love to shoot one and try it out.

RUGER: Rotten, Ugly, Godaweful. Egad, Replicantargent!!

(I don't really have anything bad to say about Ruger I just wanted to make fun of Pete.) :-)

HAHHAHAHAHAA :-)

Well, according to some :-) it probably wouldn't work
and Rugers quality control sucks...
(I would bet he would say that about an unreleased pistol, even :-) )


:-)

Anyone have any experience with the Sig C3? The more I look at it, the more I want one!

I like Ruger's wheel guns, Blackhawks etc. My buddy had a SP101, very nice pistol. You are right about quality, they look better then they fire!

That is the other 1911 I am looking at. I asked the same question. I like you.
And Cake....



Well, and ribeye, beer, cigars, my wife.. and a few other things, not necessarily in that order.

IMHO besides their over/under shotguns, Ruger has only made 4 useful weapons, the Mini-14/Mini-30, 10-22, MK-II and the PC-9/PC-40. Their guns (engineered by Ruger) tend to be easy to disassemble yet require an engineering doctorate to reassemble...

Ha, spoken like a true MK-II owner. I have a couple Ruger revolvers. They are very stoutly built but triggers aren't as good as S&W. Don't care for ruger pistols though I have one. The Ruger M77s are nice pieces, especially with the new triggers. I sold my Mini-30, I already have two AKs and they are bout the same in the accuracy department, and I'll take an AR over a Mini 14 any day of the week. I think everyone has and should have a 10/22 though. My problem with Ruger is they used to be a fine gun for the money, then over the last few years they've raised their prices 2-300 a gun. I don't ever see buying another.

Nice start. :-) Needs more 1911. :-)
