Note the proof marks, smiths mark and barrel numbers… According to the RIA rep, they only had to do minimal cleaning, and the gun went together “seamlessly”…IMG_1187And when I asked him if they’d ‘test fired’ it… Well, he just smiled…

Yes, that IS a pink overmould for the grip on the Ruger…

And pretty much everything in between!!!

For Frito, YES of course there were horses… And apparently only ONE single protester reading names, but we never found her…

  1. You know, if I were a cop and assigned to mounted patrol, I’d wind up getting in trouble.

  2. Golly, you’d think with all those scary GUNS around, the cops wouldn’t look so relaxed…

  3. LL- Yep!

    Kevin- Thanks!

    FG- I can believe that!

    BP- How much money do you have? Colt has a ‘new’ one in their booth!

    Opus- True!

    DriverSuz- Most of the ones I saw had shopping bags in their hands, and grins on their faces!

    Ed- 🙂

    Crucis- You’re welcome!

    Jenn- That they were!

  4. I counted 4 hand cranked gatlings, not including the miniature which if you could find ammo for it, the guy who made it said it would shoot.
