    Would you CC a .22?

    Sure... It is better than a BB gun. If all I had was a .22, I would CC it. Having said that, as long as center fire pistols remain legal I see no reason not to carry a center fire. My biggest concern with rimfires is ignition reliability. While it doesn't happen often, I have had .22s...

    .357, .41, .44 Opinion

    Love the .44 magnum, and like the .41 magnum. But if you are only to have one magnum, my vote is for the .357 magnum. If you reload this doesn't apply, but... For non-reloaders, the .357 magnum has the cheapest ammo AND most availability. The .357 magnum is capable of firing .38 cowboy loads...

    Favorite Ruger single action grip / style

    The heaviest loads I am comfortable with are hot .44 magnum loads. 320 grain bullets loaded to the max for example. The Bisley works fine for these, for my hands. Anything that recoils more than this to me is unpleasant regardless of the grip. The very hot .454 Casull and more powerful...

    big-bore GP100 market opportunity

    To add to my post, I think a .44 special +P+ chambering would be AWESOME (I know there is no such official chambering, but I want the hottest .44 special load that can safely be shot in a medium frame GP 100). If the GP 100 could fire as hot of a .44 special as possible, I'd be VERY HAPPY.

    What piqued your interest of revolvers?

    This is why I like revolvers 1. Very large range of powers. I can load .38 special cowboy loads that barely have more recoil than a .22, all the way up to 200 grain loads that could serve as a backup black bear defense load. Same applies to other revolver chamberings like the .44 special /...

    .223 for Black Bear

    I think black bears are generally more timid. The ones I've seen while hiking in California generally keep their distance as long as you show them respect.

    .223 for Black Bear

    Anything smaller than .308 is asking for trouble as bear defense. Having said that, a .223 is better than nothing. If that is all you have, your best bet is to fire as many controlled shots as possible before the bear is on you.

    Favorite Ruger single action grip / style

    I prefer the Bisley grip, hammer, and trigger personally. The grip feels solid and steady in my hand, and I have an easy time cocking the hammer with the way the hammer is shaped. I get my best groups when shooting my Ruger Bisleys, and they seem to really make even the hottest .44 magnum...

    Ruger SR40 released?

    Anyone have an SR 40 yet? I'm curious if it has the same design flaw as the SR 9 (possible damage if dry-fired with the magazine removed). That was the only reason I did NOT buy the SR9. I don't want a gun that can be damaged if accidently dry fired with empty magazine (I'm guessing this has...

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    S&W semi-autos 1911s Anything made by Taurus or Rossi "Saturday Night Specials" (e.g. Ravens,Jennings, etc) 10 gauge shotguns (anything over 12 gauge to me is unpleasant to shoot) .454 Casull or larger handguns (I have no use for anything more powerful than a .44 magnum) Rifles more powerful...

    Isn't the 44 Special for defense just awesome?

    Cor Bon, Buffalo Bore, and a few other makers have given the .44 special serious teeth. Those of us that want more performance than 800 - 900 fps have many choices considerably more powerful. Shooting hot .44 special in my Alaskan is very much like shooting .38 special wadcutters - barely any...

    Favorite Grips for your GP100 or SP101?

    The old fashioned Ruger rubber grips with wood insertions are my favorite. To me the Hogue grips they use now pale in comparison. The old fashioned Ruger rubber grips with wood insertions fit my hand perfectly. YMMV

    What do you consider an "across the room" distance

    7 yards An exception I can think of is in a hallway. That may be further than 7 yards in many homes.
