Trail Gun

[silvermane_1]

Looks like Ruger has a new "trail gun" soon to be available.

Blued SP101 with 3" barrel and adjustable rear sight. Claimed to weigh a whole 27 ounces.

Well I would call it more like Lipsey's Distributor Exclusive "Trail Gun" more than anything else there chicharrones.

Depends on the season for me. Usually I have my 329 PD. Sometimes I carry a 4 inch 617 with it if I'm not going to be walking all day long. But other days I carry a 10mm semi-auto of some flavor.

Either my SP101 .357 or G20 ---depending on where the trail is.

In my opinion it all depends on where the trail is.

I walk trails daily, on the property, and I'm trying also to control pest species. The 5.7 caliber lends itself to this application well. The FN model is very light, but pricey. Can't speak for the Ruger model. Have occasionally taken the S&W Governor, also very light, with a couple rounds of 410 for snakes, and 4 rounds of 45LC.

I think these fit the trail gun niche nicely.

L-R...SS7 in .327 FM, White and black handled .32 H&R SS's and a SS7 in.327 FM (my current personal favorite for a grab and go trail gun when large predators aren't a concern).

The magazine revolves, right? But honestly, it is my favorite "trail gun"

Very nice! I’ve always had a soft spot for those M77’s with the Zytel stocks. Would love to find one in .22 Mag.

That one is .22 WMR. Really useful piece.

If it ever goes on the market...you know where to find me.

One of the grandsons will get it some (hopefully) distant day. Glad you like it. I know I do. Carried it by now more miles than that damned old M-16.

Awesome collection you have there. I am coming to the realization that .32 or .327 in a Ruger single six or seven size frame makes an ideal kit/trail.

Indeed.
