Ruger Quality Control Problems

Posted by in Just Whatever | 0 comments

Not sure what is going on with Ruger’s SP 101 quality control right now.  The last two new revolvers we have seen were not as clean as they have been in the past.  One revolver had a hand that was improperly fitted causing the gun to bind up when the trigger was pulled slowly.  The other we had had rust all over the front sight and the sight cut had been made smaller than usual. I also heard from a customer who had purchased a LC9 that he...

Sometimes there is a blemish that can be corrected by...

Trausch Grips for the SP101

Posted by in Revolvers | 9 comments

Recently had a customer request some grips from a French company called Trausch Grips.  I had never heard of them, but I must say I am very impressed.  They are larger than the Badger boot grips and the regular Ruger SP 101 grips that come standard with the gun.  The Grips are very, very snug on the gun.  In fact it can be a work out the first time you put them on!  Since the SP 101 is really not a pocket gun because its weight, I think these...
