You got that right mate. Maybe they’ll start making them the way they used to. I was lucky and got a Guide Gun by Mwrlin before they tubed. A Rolex.
I bought 3 Ruger Security-9mm pistols at Ft Bragg this summer. I also have a Marlin 1870-1970 gold plated trigger .22 cal which I love. Ruger Mark series pistols are great.
