Author Topic: I did my patriotic duty today!! (Read 707 times)

I bought another gun! Its a Para Carry, 3" barrel, 6+1, with the sweetest DAO trigger on the planet! It just seemed to me that I was not doing my fair share to help the American economy along and the notion hit me that buying another gun was exactly what I needed to do! However, I'm out here in the PRC and won't get to pick it up until the 11th. So, I'll just have to live in a state of heightened anxiety until then and hope our commrades in the state capitol don't pass some draconian measure before then that prevents me from taking delivery.

I purchased the CCO 3.5" version a lil while back and have been well satisfied thus far. I think you will be too.

Be Safe,
Scott

When you said you'd done your patriotic duty, I was hoping it meant you'd taken a shot at sKerry with a Patriot Missile! Don't get my hopes up if ya don't mean it. :wink:

Try to remember that the Canadites buy some US products too.

And at 20 feet it's going to be more than accurate enough to fulfill its intended purpose. I had one FTE and one FTF (about a hundred rounds shot) but in a brand spank'n new gun that's not worrying me. One load consisted of a 185 gr. XTP JHP over 7.7 gr. of Unique. That was a bit of a hand full with that short handle but with practice it'll be just fine. The other load was a 200 gr. XTP JHP over 8.5 gr. of AA5. That was a sweet shoot'n round but I've yet to clock these loads so I don't know if I want to stick to them or not. So far everything is honky dory, time will tell if problems exist but I'm optimistic.

Yep we sure do. I like my Ruger single six and my new Henry alot, now I am lookin for a 22/45 :-) . Love them U.S. made firearms.
The pistols you guys mention may be made in Canada , but sadly most of us will never own one cause it has to be 4 1/4" (barrel length) or so before we could be trusted. Anything less is prohibited , which only a very few are licenced for :cry:
Gun Control is just control ...it really has nothing to do with guns..... Lame :x
