I will be interested in just about anything built on the Single Six/Seven/Ten/etc. For some reason, I had paid little attention to the Single Six and its derivatives, over the decades, but, having...

I will be interested in just about anything built on the Single Six/Seven/Ten/etc. For some reason, I had paid little attention to the Single Six and its derivatives, over the decades, but, having...
My first thought would be soot getting onto the optic.
Timely, for me. I may be about to adjust a couple of kydex holsters. Thanks!
Prayers up!
Clint Smith went what seemed to be full-immersion, for a short while, into late-19th-Century weapons, but I never saw that he compiled all of what he learned, about single-action sixgunning, into one...
I do not consider fast splits to be important for defense, but, for those who do:

Personally, I do not use the same right thumb placement* that this guy prefers, but this is a good presentation. His grip method is very much oriented toward “cowboy action” shooting, but, it may...
I had hoped to find a video series, with a Gunsite instructor Il Ling New, that had been on either the Gunsite or Ruger Firearms you-tube channel, but, I had zero luck, as if that series had been...
Not all hammer spurs are created equal, in shape and surface area, and, cocking a DA revolver’s hammer means working against two springs, each with substantial strength of their own. The trigger...
Rest in peace.
1. Posing as a contractor for the local utility is a VERY over-used cover story for criminals.
2. I never served in the Middle East or Afghanistan, but, a family member has done tours in both...
Enjoy! :)
As for actual defensive carry of a single-action sixgun, well, one of the things that hot-spurred me to buy a locally-available stainless .22 WMR Ruger Single Six, before another buyer...
I agree with your grip swap. Had I bought that bird’s-head-grip .45 ACP Vaquero, that I saw, I would almost certainly soon have been acquiring a conventional grip frame for it. The bird’s-head might...
I remember the assassinations of police, and other crazy violence, being on the news. I probably started noticing this in 1968, with that crazy election cycle, which included the RFK assassination,...
A “norther” is simply a cold front. A “blue norther” is a strong cold front, that clears the skies, and gets us really cold. Well, at least in this part of Texas. Texas is large enough to have five...
The NWS has determined that it was a tornado in the Cypress area, where we have seen the twisted and toppled power line towers.
It is interesting to see and hear the statements of folks who say...
I was already thinking AI or deepfake. A dog’s face was grafted onto a marsupial body. If nothing else, the teeth gave it away.
A meteorologist being interviewed on public radio, this morning, said that it may have been a derecho, a straight-line wind, that would normally blow at higher altitude, at about 120 MPH, but, due to...
Well, here ya go:

I noticed that this slammed into SW Louisiana shortly after it hit the Houston area. Calling revchuck … How are you, sir?
Enjoy! :)
Yesterday, I saw the blued-steel, .45 ACP sibling of your sixgun, at an LGS. I was sorely tempted to pull out the credit card. I was already there to pick up an on-line purchase, a Ruger...
Yes, it did. Very little warning. A rather ho-hum thunderstorm had been predicted, on the two weather apps I was monitoring. The sudden severity of this one became apparent with very little warning,...
.22 WMR for bear defense? Well, OK, I am ready:

Just picked it up today. Ruger Single Six,...
Yes, I, too, read this, somewhere along the way, and “listened.” I have some few boxes of the higher-tier/+P ammo, but, it is relegated to lever-action carbine use. Unless it is particularly...
Every time I think that I have finally escaped being tempted by the G34, y’all pull me back in… ;)
Of course, as many G17 pistols as I have, I could buy a G34 upper unit, rather than an entire...
