There are many reasons to consider buying one of the Ruger single actions. They are rock solid, can handle higher loads, competitively priced, and with a little work can be turned into a fantastic shooter. One of the things that I like to add on all the Ruger single actions is the Power Custom Free Spin Pawl. This part allows the cylinder to move in either direction when the loading gate is open.   When the loading gate is closed the pawl...

Humidity is crazy right now in Nashville.  It is making life “thick” for us.  I wanted to remind all of you to take care of your firearms, reloading equipment etc.  It is very easy to wipe a metal surface down with some light oil and it will go a long way towards keeping your gear good. I say this to remind me as well, because I had a J-Frame I neglected about 4 years ago when we moved to Nashville, and it looks like cancer took...

For many years Ruger produced a line of revolver that ended in 6: Speed 6, Security 6, Service 6.  They were the precursor to the GP100 and Sp101.

Last weekend we held a class for the TN Handgun Carry Permit.  This is always a fun class to teach, because so many of the shooters are newer to the shooting disciplines and don’t have the bad habits already formed.  They literally soak up every thing you have to say and start shooting better by the end of the day. At the end of the class we let the students shoot many of our personal guns so they can get a feel for what’s out...

In the old days of shooting, most magazines need to be tuned for reliability.  Thankfully we have come a long way in magazine production.  If you find yourself dealing with a pesky mag, check out the following article I wrote for guns.com for a possible solution.

Finally!!  The mill is up and running.  This has been a process to get going.  This will now allow us to get back to some of the work we used to do, but recently had to sub out. Look for ghost ring sights on our SM-1 shotgun packages. New stuff with 1911’s like match barrels, sights, and tightened slide and frame rails. We continue to add things to the shop all the time to make it easier to service your needs.  If you have something in...
