Ruger's New LC9s Striker
Ruger succinctly describes the LC9s as, “…a compact, centerfire, single-strike, striker fired, magazine-fed, autoloading, recoil-operated pistol”. Like the LC9, the LC9s is chambered for the 9mm Luger cartridge. Like the LC9, the LC9s has a fiber-filled Nylon frame, aluminum subframe and a steel slide. However, where the LC9 has a […] [Read More]
TALO's Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag
I am not usually a proponent of short barrel magnum revolvers, but the new TALO limited production Ruger Redhawk may provide a good deal of utility for the hunter, hiker and fisherman. Yes, it is a relatively compact frame wrapped around a really big cylinder, but it is light to […] [Read More]
Ruger's 9e
With the exception of my finger prints on the slide, the Ruger 9e is an almost ideal defensive autoloader. The 9mm Luger cartridge is easy on recoil, adequate in power and this relatively lightweight pistol can hold 17+1 rounds of ammo. There is also a 10 round version for folks […] [Read More]
Ruger's Gunsite Scout 5.56 NATO
I am a Ruger Gunsite Scout fan, although my application for such a rifle is purely recreational target shooting and woodland hunting. I am not fearful of an invasion… except perhaps in my reoccurring nightmare of a swarming cyborg army led by “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane” Diane Feinstein, […] [Read More]
Ruger's AR-556
Ruger’s AR-556 is a company milestone product. Its direct gas impingement design is a departure from the company’s gas operated, piston driven Ruger SR 556 and SR 762 MSRs and it is the first Ruger rifle to be designed and manufactured entirely at Ruger’s Mayodan, NC facility. It is Ruger’s […] [Read More]
Ruger's 9mm LCR
The Ruger LCR has proven to be an excellent defensive firearm; a modern materials lightweight with a robust design that permits chambering the LCR in 22 LR, 22 Win Mag, 38 Special +P and 357 Magnum. The addition of the 9mm Luger to the list of available calibers is very […] [Read More]
Ruger's Model 77/22 22 Hornet
Shooting a rifle like this, working up some handloads is pretty much taking a few days off. The rifle, with scope, is compact and very light, recoil is near non existent. Report in mild, accuracy is good and the round is ideal for small game and varmint hunting. Handloading the […] [Read More]
Ruger's Red Label
I thoroughly enjoy examining and shooting quality double barrel shotguns, both over and under and side by side, but their use falls a bit outside of my typical applications. I’m not a bird hunter, with the exception of turkey, and I never find myself hunting in shotgun only states. Additionally, […] [Read More]
Ruger's LCRX-3 38 Special +P
I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ruger did not follow the current direction of many firearm companies with its introduction of the 38 Special +P, 3″ barrel LCRx-3. Instead, Ruger designed a revolver that can be used frequently, in many applications, by pragmatic decision makers. No 10 shot cylinder, […] [Read More]
