Heritage .22 works for me.

What is the serial number on that one?

starts with a 4 has five digits

Mine is L684 - manufactured in 1951

Started trapping in 70s and used a Ruger mark1 my dad bought me in 60s and later decided I would be better off with a single six so found one. Cheap new. Then when I got in my 60s I did not like the weight so I purchased a Ruger Bearcat which was light but had fixed sight that concerned me with fixed sights but for dispatch for a old man it was perfect. The last 2 purchase were made with fur income so only cost me enjoyment and time. More power to ADC work. But it was never my cup of tea. Never charged never will. It was Christmas money for kids and grandkids which all but one the youngest granddaughter never got to go with me. Wish she could have. Done rambling

I think my grandad bought this one in the 30's. Dad said he had it ever since he could remember.

Anyone use the newish Ruger wrangler?

I figure any gun that's easy to carry and hits where you point it consistently, I carry an old model Ruger single six, made in 1959, sweet gun

…. I just run a cheap heritage … no problems

Lot of cool old pistols

As someone new to the hobby, I have a newer pistol. Mine's a Ruger Mark IV 75th Anniversary. It works great so far, and very easy to disassemble and clean.

My 15 year olds is slightly out of time don't stand beside anyone shooting it bits of lead will shave off the bullet and make it out of the cylinder gap and hit you. I had to tighten the barrel that had a lot of play in it as well . It was a gift he got from my brother in law and only gos along for dispach a few times a year.

I bought an old stevens crack shot at the FTA convention in Spencer the other day. Have wanted one for awhile. They were a falling block action 22 that you can unscrew a knob and the barrel comes off. Make it easy to pack. I am sure a few old trappers carried one. Hung it up with a bunch of antique traps.

Stainless Ruger Bearcat with adjustable sights is about perfect in my mind, but not cheap. There is an argument to be made for something that will take a suppressor though. I carried my vintage blued Bearcat but it had fixed sights and didn't shoot anywhere close to point of aim. My SS single six was just too heavy.

Did you see how it shot first?

22 cal. Arminius. Two cylinders 22 and 22 mag. Don't remember how long I have used it. But it has been a long time.

No have not shot at anything Ang

Colt Peacemaker for me, 22LR and 22 mag

Single Six for years, now a H&R 9 shot break action Model 999.
