i seriously laughed out loud when i read that, which i know what the feeling of a pointless gun is. btw mine arent pointless, thats just alot of bullets to keep in stock is all im saying.

i try to keep my bullets universal, but when i think about it, i shoot 9mm, .308, .233, 12 gauge & 7.62, so after that being said still none of my bullets are universal

[TazKristi]

What do you think of the Red Label? I've been meaning to shoot one. The sport shooters forums are pretty snobby and don't give the Ruger o/u much credit. I've held one and seemed pretty darn good to me.

2cha,

I like my Red Label a lot. It's got a really good feel to it.

I know what you mean about some of the forums. I found the same thing when I was researching the gun. If you are thinking about getting one then don't let what others say keep you from it. Especially if you've held one and liked it. I never understood all the bashing myself. I think it is one sweet gun.

When I go trap shooting, some of the die-hard trap shooters are amazed by my Red Label. They've never seen a stainless steel over and under before. All exposed metal parts are stainless steel. Barrels and all. They are usually shocked when I tell them it's a Ruger Red Label.

The fact that it makes people take a second look makes me like it that much more. :D

Thanks for the heads up. I'm attracted to the gun, and really don't feel like plopping down a thousand or so more to get something dressed in prettier clothes or with a fancier label.

I still didnt kick myself to do the paperwar to get the permit. I dont want the ownership one and the carry one is more difficult to get, as you need to give a very good reason for that. I just dont understand why 'protection of life and property' is not considered being a good enough reason in this country.

I've got a number of guns--more than I'd care to mention in a public forum. However, some of them are "special." One of my prized pieces is this one--the personal carry gun of the late Col. Rex Applegate when he was living in Mexico after WWII. After using it to shoot a campesino armed with a machete--and being disappointed with the results of the .38 S&W cartridge, it became the inspiration for the Centennial model.

Stay safe,

Mike

Well, unless one of you has recently acquired Patton's S&W registered model from his museum... I think Mr. Janich wins the prize for coolest pistol :) .

And the coolest holster. I have never seen one like that. Is it a one-off, Janich?

Mike, is that a Schoeffield revolver? You mentioned specials, do you have an ASP gun? If yes, what do you think of it, the concept itself. :)

[Michael Janich]

It is actually a patented, handmade leather design that Col. Applegate liked for concealed carry in hot climates. I have to refresh my memory, but I believe the design dates back to the 1930's. The Colonel's version was made for him after WWII by a holster maker from (I believe) Denver. Again, I'll need to check the details.

Stay safe,

Mike

No, it's a break-top .38 S&W "Lemon Squeezer," so called because if its grip safety.

I do not have an ASP, but I'm familiar with it--a Devel-customized S&W Model 39 with see-through grips, bobbed hammer, etc. I've heard good things about them, but couldn't afford one when they were available. Now with the ready availability of small-frame 9's like the Kahr, it's a lot easier to meet that need. The ASP was way ahead of its time, though.

Stay safe,
