Got to shoot the NRV at the match yesterday.  It hits where it points.  As it is a Ruger it probably is stronger than my clones but nothing jumped off the page to make me want to get a brace of them.

Could be that when funds are more fluid I'll have a different feeling but for right now, I'll let someone else buy "mine." :wink:

I've also heard about some problems with them out of the box. It seems there's some kind of a recall fix going on for the ones that have been released. Something to do with the firing pin or the firing pin bushing from what I've heard. I'll stick with my Bisquero thank you very much.

Well Ranger, I got to play with the RNV again.  Then I called up Jay's and got put on the list.  Actually JJ said I was the first to ask for a polished stainless version.  I'm almost embarassed to tell you why I decided to get one.  We started a small group at church this spring that enjoyed shooting single actions and watching old cowboy movies.  That has evolved into doing historic re-enactments and theatrical gunfights!  We have been fairly popular so far.  Anyway, I was playing with a friends NV and tried some spinning.  I have been playing with learning spins into and out of my holster.  (Empty gun only!)  That 4 5/8" NV is the best balanced gun I have handled for this.  It also helps that the trigger is full width of the guard and sits forward (a trait I have always disliked with Rugers) quite a bit.  Well, the combination of balance and less room in the trigger guard actually made it look like I knew what I was doing.  So now I need a stainless NV so I can be showy at our preformances.  (I can also carry it in the woods hunting.  That's a win/win)  I've come up with a lot of reasons to buy a new gun over the years, but this is a new one!  44 Man

Hey 44 Man,

Not a problem.  Unlike many I figure that if this is something you want to do with it and it's not hurting anyone, GO FOR IT!

Think we have too many people worrying about others' fun and games.  But then that's just me.

So have a ball and good luck with it.
