Ruger No. 1 and the T.L. Moyers Trigger (Updated and Corrected)
I’d like to thank Tom Henry for writing to me about the original article and for pointing out areas I might revisit. Good points and the comments were constructive. I don’t always get it right and I want to make sure the best information possible resides on the site. This […] [Read More]
Ruger Bisley - Trigger Improvements I
I’m not sure what it’s like in other parts of the country but here, in not always so sunny California, it’s been getting increasingly difficult to find a local gunsmith to do decent routine work. If you can find a gunsmith who will perform basic services, they more then likely […] [Read More]
Ruger Bisley .45 Long Colt Part IV
I was on my way back from the range, when I got to thinking about the marketing genius of the powder companies. With most products, higher cost typically means more of something, however, with smokeless powder, you pay more to get less. Newer slow burning powders deliver less energy per […] [Read More]
Ruger Bisley .45 Long Colt Part III
Okay, I’ll admit it, when it comes to unnecessary spending to make a gun look better, I get in line with everyone else. I think I mentioned in the first part of this series, the Ruger was not going to win any slick finish awards. The ejector rod housing is […] [Read More]
"Ruger Bisley .45 Long Colt Part II", but first....
.357 SIG headspace update As a follow to the article on the .357 SIG headspace problem, I just stopped reloading with Speer Lawman empties, which seems to have resolved the misfire problem.

Ruger's Redhawk 45 Colt Part II
Summer in Maine is mostly an opportunity to repair the products of Maine’s aggressive winters. When we moved into our home fourteen years ago, our view was of surrounding woodland and distant lakes and mountains. This spring, however, my wife and I were greeted with soil shift over granite ledge […] [Read More]
A 7mm-08 Remington Lightweight Mountain Rifle Part II
10/26/2019 Yes, your observations are correct. I am an analogue troglodyte… but with an excuse. I like making immediate notations on a yellow lined pad; quad paper even better, but it is too hard to photograph when placed against a white background. I can write with a 0.5mm Pentel mechanical […] [Read More]
Talking Conservatively: New Social Media Experiment - URL Correction
Some friends of ours, the same ones who were kind enough to put RealGuns.Com together and who bail us out when tech glitches arise, put together a new site TalkingConservatively.Com. No, it is not a great right wing conspiracy, it is just social media without a political review committee and […] [Read More]
