Real Guns® has either reviewed the Ruger LCP, or incorporated a version into a project, no less than seven times since the compact pistol’s introduction, primarily because the product has evolved to keep pace with customer opinion. The frame has changed, the slide has changed, the sights have changed, and […]

The rotary magazine bolt action Ruger made its debut in the form of the 77/22, chambered for the 22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge in 1983. The Ruger 77/44 came along in 1997 with a wood stock and blued hardware. A synthetic and stainless version followed in 1999, which is about when […]

One of the nice things about having a chronograph that functions with an LCD light source is that neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night prevent clocking bullets… even if the mailman occasionally misses the ride up the mountain road that leads up from the flatlanders. The […]

As a person who carries a 357 Mag GP100 revolver at work and when out in the surrounding wooded areas, I was glad to see Ruger release this high capacity rimfire version. It provides a small game and pest solution, it makes for fun recreational target shooting and its heft […]

Every YouTube video seems to have the camera pointed at the narrator. Gun magazine writers pepper their journalistic works with dramatic images of themselves gazing off into the distance or holding assorted and sundry firearms.

Ruger’s 44 Magnum Birdshead Vaquero TALO exclusive is a stout firearm. Built on a large Vaquero frame, this highly polished, precision machined stainless steel revolver does not feed itself, empty itself or cock its own hammer. There are no adjustable sights and its grip frame is curved in a bird’s […]
