Decided I was going to get into the SASS/CAS arena a while back...Those that know me, will tell you, that if I'm gonna do it, I'll go all the way without hesitation...
Now mind you, I have a gun safe with multiple "other" Ruger items.
Went to a gun show here in East Texas..Started looking at the pistolas. I bet I passed up a dozen Rugers cause I was lookin for that click,click,click,click that pertains to other shootin irons.
Anyway, walked up and laid my hands on a case hardened, blue/black AWA. It was everything that a cowboy gun should be...
I played with. I loved on it, gave it all kinds of special attention....
Now remember I'm no stranger to Rugers....I took the AWA out to shoot and within minutes of firing shots out of it, I knew instantly that I had picked up the wrong gun...kinda like pickin the wrong woman...but that's another story..
The gun show came back to town...I took the AWA to the show...made an outright sale of the AWA and turned the cash into a brand new RNV 5.5 SS....it was love at first shot....
Well now that there are two pistols required for SASS/CAS I was left with a dilema..I had to find me another one...I did just that
now I'm sporting (in place of courting) twin sisters..and boy are they sweet..
Now there is one part of this story, that I haven't told...The AWA was bought for me, by my wife as birthday present.
When I made the call to buy the Ruger..I called her from the Gun show...and told her that I just couldn't see me not shooting the Ruger....she understood, and she understands me...
so Marshall'ette..if'n there's a shirt somewhere there available, I'll be asking you to send one not to me, but to my loving and most graciously understanding wife...she deserves it.
and thanks for the opportunity...
