I’m usually not overly enthused with AR 15 type rifles for hunting. While there are exceptions, most are overweight, under powered and uncomfortable to carry. The Ruger AR 556 MPR in 350 Legend is one of those exceptions and much the antithesis of the general AR population’s short comings. Ruger…...

Ruger Mark IV™ 22/45™ Lite
The new site is up and I actually like it. Simple, mostly white space, it provides a nice wall to hang pictures of firearms on without distractions. I am really procrastinating with producing videos. I am just not an on air personality. I’m awkward in front of a crowd… that’s…...
Ruger's Hawkeye Laminate Compact
When I was a youngster, about the age of twelve, there were few factory accommodations for proper length of pull in centerfire rifles. A tough row to hoe if you were “gifted” with short upper arms and more typical lower arms. It’s a genetic thing. The problem is, the stretch…...
A TALO Exclusive Ruger GP100
05/15/2022 – Why is it TALO and not Talo? Because TALO is an acronym. No, not a giant spider. It is a wholesale buying cooperative operating in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and the first letter of each of those states is represented in TALO. As they have since 1965, TALO…...
GP And His Little Brother SP
02/05/2022 – Why persist in carrying a revolver when there are so many auto loaders to choose from? Because, as a general rule, revolvers can be more powerful, are easier to shoot accurately and, with the right holster, are as easy to conceal. Those important factors in self defense. Self…...

44 Magnum Carbine Handloads
Christmas Eve, 2021 – Hope to finish writing this evening and to get some sleep before Christmas Day. Christmas, for us, is an observation of the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ and an opportunity to be thankful for all we have received. I hate to arrive late to…...
Ruger's Mark IV Target
11/21/2021 – Computers suck. I opened WordPress to begin a new article and was once again confronted with a blank page. Happens every week. My stupid cell phone can anticipate my words, auto correct and express emotion, but you… you stupid tin box, all you can do is hide under…...

Hammerless, it is chambered for the 38 Special +P cartridge. As…...
Ruger's Mini Thirty 7.62x39
10/03/2021 Just ten more days until the official start of Fall and there are so many projects to wrap up before winter. Frequent, if not heavy rainfall, kept the porch deck wet. So all of the hours spent cleaning, deoxidizing and other prep work for staining and sealing 1,000 square…...
