I've had one in .22 mag for years. At best it's a last-ditch hideout gun. It's also a great gun to hide in plain sight around the house, just gather it up when company shows up. Somebody may think it's a toy.
I am the same way ,even when I had one that did give me problems I get taken care of one way or another.Quote:

I'm at the point in life where, with a great deal of hindsight, I'd say that cute can be just as dangerous on women and puppies as it is on tools and guns. YMMV.Quote:

If it were the 1st I'd have set her packing on the way home.
The 1200 Winchester now there's 1 that I will never regret seeing go away,for those that don't know them,they are a pump and we're advertised with 3 in the air pictures. The reason is that the action uses the last of the case push to open it up ....... rotten lousy finger biters is what they are . Trap loads were ok but forget game loads or anything in a 3" case.
I'd always thought 1 of those single shot 45 410s would be cool too ......let down ,it didn't shoot 45s or 410s especially well ,although a 460 S&W case did help it would shoot 4" at 40 yd. It always shot a full pattern left without the mega choke with it it was practically a shot slug out to 60 yd or so ... don't miss it.
When it comes to women, I'm reminded of the advice the old knight gives Indiana Jones in the last crusade, "Choose wisely"Quote:

High points are fun, and can always be used as a club if needed. Break it ship it back and they fix it no questions asked.

Nope! I bought it to re sell it....but I decided to keep too many of them. But I still have a few I want to get rid of.
I got a Charter arms Explorer .22 pistol. What ****. I fired it a couple of mags, then proceeded to trade it in. It was very hard to fire. I am sure someone might like it, but I absolutely did not.
I got a revolver and downright wore it out with use. Loved it.
Remington 700 .223. Thought I would shoot the heck out of it but never did, I only ever shot it twice. I gave it to my son for a Christmas present and he shoots it all the time.
A cousin died several years ago .His wife generously offered each of us surviving cousins a long gun and pistol from his collection as she had no use for all of them .Always wanted a mini-14 so I took that instead of one of the hunting type rifles .Biggest blunder of all time .Not accurate enuff for varmints and too small for deer .Fun to shoot but just not my thing .As the man said Only accurate guns are interesting thinking about selling it off .
PULSARNC, just hold on to the Ruger. Family guns should stay in the family.
Not a gun, but I wish I had of listened to my buddy 45cal and bought a Dillon instead of the LnL. Too many small part problems. Never had that with my SDB or my fathers 550. That reminds me, I need to call them again today for some parts.
When Savage came out with the Stryker I really had to have one in 22-250. It was too short and awkward for a hunting rifle and too big for a pistol. A pistol scope proved to be a pain to align with the eye with no stock to anchor my head, and a red dot limited accurate shooting to less than 100 yds, negating the 22-250 long range accuracy. I finally traded it for a Stevens 22-250 which I will be happy with as soon as I replace the tupperware stock.

Real nice Marlin 336 built in the 50's. Wanted it to shoot cast boolits. Shot j-word bullets well, only shot cast boolits sideways.
It went down the road quickly. Would like a Marlin 336 with a
TIGHT chamber and ballard rifling. I am not holding my breath.
Bought a Taurus PT99AF 9mm back in the late 1980's, a pistol that I still have and which will take virtually any cast bullet design I've ever thrown at it with never a FTF. A couple of years after that purchase, Taurus came out with the PT100AF (it might have been PT101AF but I can't recall), chambered in 40S&W, and so going on my excellent experience with my first Taurus, I bought one of those new models. That pistol, in contrast to the 9mm, would feed absolutely NO cast bullet - I had four different designs from SAECO and Lee as I recall - no matter what OAL I used. Finally gave up and traded it in on a Glock 22, another pistol that I still own and shoot as often as possible. The Glock will handle every cast bullet design I've ever tried and with a Lone Wolf barrel, is one of my favorite handguns. I guess I wasn't the only person to have problems with the Taurus in that design and in 40S&W since I note that Taurus no longer carries that model in 40S&W. Live and learn ....

Had a CZ52 that bit my trigger finger, M95 Nagant pistol with typical heavy trigger pull, Tokarev that I never could work out a load for, colt copy percussion revolvers, 8mm Turkish mauser with ringed barrel - all went away. I keep coming back to archaic rifles - muzzleloaders, trapdoors, rolling blocks, vetterlis, straight pulls - these are what interest me. Waiting for an AR with a 3' barrel and wooden handguard :)
Saved all my money when I was young and bought a Desert Eagle in .41 Mag. Did not reload at the time and could not afford to shoot it much. When I did the slide would cut a groove on my hand. Guy offered to trade me a S&W 4506 and a lot of cash for it. Shot the 4506, loved it, and made the trade. Was able to shoot quite a bit after that because I could find cheap ammo. Did not miss the Desert Eagle one bit.
