Ruger’s Super Redhawk in 10mm Auto Part 2
This is a wonderful time of year. It is often heard that mature people tend to lose their enthusiasm for birthdays. Not me. My family tends to give me gifts appropriate for a twelve year old; toys, baseball caps and books. I love it. A new game for PlayStation 4, […] [Read More]
Ruger's Super Redhawk in 10mm Auto Part 1

Ruger's PC Carbine Part I
I am not a hat guy. My Dad spent too much time hiding his thinning cuoio capelluto, first by always wearing a hat then as a mature man, growing and weaving his hair into a swirling comb-over that under the influence of a stiff breeze took on an almost hypnotic […] [Read More]

Ruger's Security - 9
It’s hard to settle down sometimes. I get excited about holidays in a good way. I get angry when I watch national news… in a bad way. Then there is the issue of growing older and reverting to a serious lack of emotional maturity and a never ending search for […] [Read More]

Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas Season & Happy New Year
Christmas is my favorite holiday. The day represents the birth of Christ and, within my life and experience, that is an exceptional occasion to celebrate.

Ruger Redhawk 8 shot 357 mag Part II
The Ruger Redhawk has continued to be an opportunity for adventure, exploration and entertainment. I have shot the equivalent of the annual U.S. Defense budget in ammo, I’ve worn out two pairs of shooting gloves and I have not been able to break it… try as I may. The Redhawk […] [Read More]
