The John Wayne Single Six Revolver.
This is a limited licensed edition of the single six 32 H&R caliber. This is one of 1250 produced. It is a accurate, low recoil pistol and this is probably the last time Ruger will chamber a 32 in a single six. This extremely well balanced pistol has a 3.75″ barrel, a polished frame and nicely engraved using Barons sculped roll engraving process to duplicate an original design done by Ruger’s Custom Shop hand engraver. Big John’s initials have been engraved on the back strap and his signature is on the barrel. Also western scroll engraving patterns and the Wayne Red River Brand. Last it has ebony grips featuring a custom checkering pattern with bold JW initals and silver factory medallion.

Ruger’s new LC9 looks to be a great conceal & carry just like it’s predecessor the LCP. Now having the ability to own something just as reliable with more power at your finger tips and still compact enough to carry without noticeably showing. Plus the 9mm ammunition costs less in most cases and is not as hard to find. The new LC9 is a 9mm luger 7+1 capacity, adjustable 3 dot sight, the barrel & slide material are made from hardened alloy steel, blued finish on slide & barrel and has a black high performance glass filed nylon grip. People kept asking about it in a 9 so Ruger made it. How nice is it that you have a manufacture that listens. Wouldn’t it be great if our government would #€^¿£*¥^*% listened like that!! Oops, sorry wrong blog.
Ruger firearms have long since made durable quality pistols and rifles, so it’s no surprise that Ruger’s LCP would be any different. Being in the firearm business it’s common to receive feedback from the local city and county police department about the durability of firearms they use and test. This review covers our local city police officer’s conversation with me. Often various pistols are put to a test, as to how many rounds can be quickly put through a pistol trying to get each of them to jam, break or any malfunction. Walt, one of our local city officers was telling me about one of the pistols just tested, the Ruger LCP.
They put 500 rounds thru the pistol trying to get it stovepipe, break or whatever but no problems. So another 500 rounds again without any issues what so ever. They are now at a total of 1000rds. At this point Walt grabs a hand full of sand, pours it in the LCP, shakes it up and pours out the excess sand. Now with the first 1000rds thru it already they begin to put another 500 rounds thru it with all the grit in the pistol. The Ruger still fired, didn’t jam, never broke and now finished totaling 1500rds. So, Walt tells me, we take the LCP apart, clean all the sand out of it, put it back together, and we put another 500rds thru it. At the end of it all they put 2000rds thru the LCP, it never broke, jammed and was still able to keep a tight pattern with the last shots. It looks like this will be there chosen back up.
For those unacquainted with the world of firearms, the differences between various firearms seem minimal at first blush. But while the aesthetical differences may be negligible, that is hardly the primary concern. Particularly for military and law enforcement, the quality and accuracy of the gun are paramount.
This is probably why so many agencies around the world research and invest in technologies to ensure their forces have high-quality weapons. It’s common to see a country’s military or police use the same line of gun for years, obviously making minor adjustments along the way. For example, the CZ 82 Czech 9×18 Makarov was the standard firearm of the Czech police and military during the 1980s and 90s. The pistol was ideal for military purposes due to its heavy-duty design and incomparable shooting accuracy.
The CZ82 or Makarov 82 pistol has a 12+1 double stack magazine, 9×18 caliber and ambidextrous release. The CZ82 has the unique polygonal style rifling which looks to be almost smooth to the naked eye. Instead it has hills and valleys which allow for a tighter gas fit and offers a lesser wear on the barrel without compensating its accuracy. To field strip the CZ82 check to see that the pistol is empty. Next take out the magazine and put the hammer in a forward position. Pull the trigger guard down with until it unlocks. Then grasp the slide as if to pull back and lifting off at the same time. The basic disassembly is now complete and ready for cleaning.
These days the prices of ammo have gone up so much that a single day at the range can leave a serious dent in your wallet. Now there are a number of options to get out of paying MSRP on today’s ammo prices and my advice is try switching to surplus ammo; I can imagine what you’re thinking, that stuff is no good, it’s corrosive, it’s bad for my rifle. Well… actually it shoots great, it’s accurate and, best part of all, it’s cheap. If your shooting corrosive marked ammo then you will have to neutralize the powder in your rifle after shooting. Here is how to take care of this: Mix together some Ammonia and Windex. It’s best to put it in a spray bottle. Mix it 50/50 and spray in the chamber and in the barrel very heavy till it’s running out the front of the barrel. This neutralizes the corrosive acid in the powder. Afterwards perform your regular cleaning steps with oil and patches. Now and then you will find noncorrosive surplus ammo for sale but, lets face it, no matter what ammo you put in your rifle, it’s all corrosive surplus or not. You will find most surplus ammo will run 50% to 75% cheaper that the normal MSRP ammo. This keeps your cost low and your high powered rifles with you at the range, not left in your safe at home.
Like many kids from the N64 generation, much of my knowledge of firearms and warfare was gleaned through videogames. And despite the release of hundreds of military related titles, there was one shooter game that always reigned supreme: Goldeneye. I can honestly say I’ve wasted away at least an entire week of my life on that game alone.
One of the things that will always stick with me from that iconic title was the weapons used in the game. As a youngster, I assumed that all of the names of the weapons were authentic. After committing a couple of comical slips in public, however, I realized the names of the guns in the game had been altered to prevent any sort of trademark infringement. For example, the classic Soviet AK74 rifle is the KF7 in the game, and the Walther PPK is the PP7.
When it comes to gun sporting gear, Ruger is in a class of their own. For centuries they have been specially made to ensure an unsurpassed level of accuracy and power. Expert marksmen swear by the precision these firearms, and with good reason.
These guns never buckle and always hit the mark. Even antiquated models, such as a Ruger 44 magnum rifle, are still prized by collectors and gun enthusiasts. You may have trouble finding original models in your local gun shop, but a plethora of online retailers supply these vintage weapons.
