Did a trade with an old friend, gun dealer this weekend. We were swapping tactical stuff for tactical stuff. But we couldn't quite get to an even trade. I saw this on a bottom shelf and just saw the outer box. When I asked about it, he agreed to let it make the trade even. I LOVE Rugers in 44mag. But I've never owned an Old Army before. Thanks!! Matt
The psycho nut bags have always been there. They just get better press now. Take away their guns, they'll use knives. Take away their knives and they'll use sticks!!

That would be fun to shoot, takes some time to load and can get messy.

Beautiful pistol
I'm jealous
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Neat! I didn’t even know Ruger manufactured those.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Years ago I read you could put them in the dishwasher for cleaning. I'm hazy on the details, but it sure sounded like a convenient way to clean things up.
