Been around for awhile now. I shoot a lot, here in KY. I'm active in the classic matches put on by CMP with the Garand, Springfield, and Carbine. Been a CAPS, (candy a-s pistol shooter according to my old rifle team coach) since college, some 41 years ago. I've owned half a dozen Rugers over that period of time. A single six from '73, two .357 BH's from the late '60's, and most currently, a N. Vaquero in .45 LC, a Lipsey's .44 Spl, and a 50th Anniversary .44 Magnum. I'm a shooter primarily, but do some collecting as well, but I do shoot everything I own...no safe queens here. It's a good hobby, satisfying in many ways....let's keep active, all of us, on the political front, to keep and safe guard our 2nd Amendment Rights. Regards, Rodfac
