Hey, RWC! Got another new toy the other day - a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. 4 5/8” barrel & blue like a revolver should be. I’m not into the cowboy shooting, but I’ve been wanting a single action for the woods.

Of course the worst thing about it is that Gander Mountain does layaway and on the shelf in front of me as I’m making the last payment on the Blackhawk is a mid 1920’s Stevens 315 (marked “Ranger” for Sears & Roebuck.) side by side. 12 gauge, 30” barrels. Beautiful color case hardened receiver. It’s on layaway… ;)

Glad I quit smoking a few years ago - even with these guns & their ammo, I’ve still probably spent less and had more fun as a result.
