Southport firearm maker Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. said new gun models helped nearly double sales in the fiscal second-quarter, contributing to a 700 percent gain in net profits.

[DarthVader]

Good, I will be contributing to their profits by getting a new Super Redhawk KSRH9 .44 Magnum with a 9 1/2” Barrel.

[Frantzie]

I would like to check out their newer CCW 9 mm.

[Mr. Mojo]

RGR has had a nice little run these past 6 months.

[gigster]

Is that the 9mm based on the LCP?

[Mr. Mojo]

I’d like to check out their new LCR .38+P revolver for concealed carry — 13 ozs.

[mefistofelerevised]

Of the guns I have the older version of the Vaquero 45 is my favorite.

[chris37]

A long barrel makes a gun hard to carry and hard to conceal. Most pistol fights occur with in 10 a ft range. Get something that is easy to maneuver. My .44 magnum has a 4” barrel, and it’s still huge. Just my opinion tho.

[gigster]

I know some may scoff at this, but I have a LCP, w/Hornady FTX Critical Defense rounds.

Compact, and light-weight.

[skeptoid]

IIRC, Ruger refused to kowtow to the Klintoon admin on some firearms ban or restriction while S&W caved in immediately.

I wonder if this is related in any way?

buzzed and too lazy to look it up

I remain,

I wonder if that’s why OSHA is trying to slap them with a $255,000.00 fine?

Per popular demand I've registered at Cabelas but, again, really not necessary.
Thanks for the cool notes after my appearance on Leno. Remind me at I-CON '09 to tell you how he christens each new car in his collection. Hint: Let him change his own spark plugs.

I did a small deal with WBR’s estate and they tossed in a Single Six!

[KoRn]

Their new AR type rifle rocks!!

I wish I would have held off on buying on back in January, and bought a Ruger. They are a bit expensive though.

[I see my hands]

You better put some Crimson Trace on that.

Such a long pull! But with the HCD it’s a stopper!

[Drago]

"...but I have a LCP..."

I was on the Ruger website looking at the SR-556 (pricey!), and I noticed that there is a a recall on some Ruger LCP's...thought you might want to know...see:

[gigster]

Yeah, I have a Crimson Trace on one of my other Rugers.
A Mark II Bull-Barrel.
As for the LCP, the pull is long, and it will take getting
used to.

[gigster]

I have the new LCP, so, no issues there.

[chris37]

I have some of those Hornady rounds for my .40 cal as well. I haven’t ever fired them tho as they are expensive.

The previous owners of S&W sold out to Clinton. They were acquired by one of the ammo companies, I believe. They are currently in good hands.
