Chelsea Kid, #47400

Hello the fire I live in Ruger Country, the next town over from the manufacturing plant in Newport, New Hampshire and know a number of folks that work there. That said, before I knew about it I had bought a new Ruger a number of years ago and when I got home and did some cleaning, I thought it was a used gun due to the residue. I went back to the dealer and found out two things; 1) Ruger test fires every firearm and 2) they don't always do a cleaning. Part of this was from the requrement from some states to have a fired case come with the firearm as part of the "case ID shows which firearm it was fired in" and to just make the sure the firearm is operational out of the box. I wasn't sure if they used jacketed bullets or lead but the pictures show the streak of copper I have seen in the past. This is Ruger's way of making sure the firearm works and to comply with som of the quirky states. Chelsea

Hello the fire, I have been a Thompson Center Arms collector for over 40 years and have a safe full of actions and barrels. I do not think these grips will fit any Contender. You may want to check with Pachmayr to find out what the "TC" model refers to. Chelsea Kid

Eyesa, But it would go so great with my "Andele, Andele, Yehaw". Chelsea

Flaco, I wear 34x34 Wrangle jeans and being slender I think I wear a 42, 44 jacket. Do you think this would fit? Chelsea Kid

Widder, I with you. I have had my years of winning the title and all the rest. I have always had fun and figure now it the time to add to the fun by being able to shoot longer instead of faster and let some of the pards that have been chasing me take the plaques. I love this sport and my wife and I support all the matches we go to. This year we are scheduled for 11 major matches and I am not sure how many monthly ones and a few Wild Bunch shoots thrown in. I know how much people like me on the posse 'cause the number of people that want to shoot with me. Gunfighter's Rule! Chelsea
