I don't shoot competition but I do shoot Rugers . . . does that qualify me to be a RAT?
I love my Ruger New Vaquero - have a blued 5 1/2" in 357 that I put a lot of 38 spls. through - mainly at paper plates, dead pop cans and a woodchuck once in a while - and I love everything about the "old west" . . . . .
When the New Vaquero gets too warm . . . I switch off to my Ruger Super Bearcat . . . one of the older ones and a sweet shooting little SA . . . . .
And if I'm feeling "real macho" . . . . I just might stoke up my Ruger SR9 . . . . . but still prefer the New Vaquero over everything else . . . .
I'm in southern Arizona during the winter . . . where I concentrate on making gun leather . . . both SA rigs and the more modern semi-auto holsters . . . in the summer, I'm back in Michigan from May thru the end of Sept . . . .
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo . . . does that qualify me to be a RATS??? Thanks!
