When I was in elementary school you could wear anything basically. But the family that lived behind us - their kids were older and went to Junior high School. Where they had to wear slacks and white shirts and neckties. I was not looking forward to Junior high.
But here I started junior high they had changed the dress code. Now you could basically wear anything. Although Friday was dress up day, which required slacks, a white shirt, and a necktie.

Interestingly, although it has the transfer bar like all the other New Model guns, you can't load it by just opening the loading gate. You have to put it on halfcock.

Actually that is a "New Bearcat", as you can see if you blow the picture up. Plainly marked right there above the trigger.
Bearcat 2nd issue
The Bearcat 2nd issue was marketed in 1971 as an improved version of the original Bearcat, and renamed the Super Bearcat; it featured an all-steel frame rather than an alloy frame.
Bearcat 3rd issue
The Bearcat 3rd issue, also known as the New Bearcat, is Ruger's reintroduced model which came out in 1993. It features smooth rosewood grips with a Ruger medallion embedded. The New Bearcat also incorporated Ruger's new transfer bar safety system.

Did they cut it out because it was too too bad? Or am I having a hallucination? Because I thought one was "picked the wrong week to quit shooting heroin", and that wasn't in the clip.

I won't say you're wrong, and that it isn't just urban legend, but a lot of people who should know better disagree
I believe we are speaking of two different things.
Now maybe a Nambu works like a Ruger - I could not tell you, having never handled a Nambu. It is quite possible old Bill copied the internal workings.
But the argument I have always understood when people talk about "he used the Nambu" or "he used to Luger", is the look. The shape of the grip. And that's what I was pointing out. That he used that shape long before he was making pistols.

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what that was supposed to be.

Believe it or not, most, at least around here, are not parading in the streets in BDSM gear, or dressed in "nunface," or waving pride flags. They're as sick of the fringe 0.1% of the alphabet community as the rest of us, and are sick of a certain political party telling them that they have to think and believe in certain things, and support certain things, or they "aren't gay enough."
Few years ago I read an article about "why Hollywood won't use Raven Symone anymore".
If the name does not sound familiar, when Rudy got too old to be cute on The Cosby show Denise married a divorce father with custody, so they had this other little cute 5-year-old girl. And she grew up and went to work for the Disney channel. I think she was on The View for a little while.
And then she just kind of - disappeared.
She said there were three reasons why she had trouble finding work. She refused to say she was African-American. "I've never been to Africa. I'm American. So what if my skin is a little darker than yours. So what if my facial features are different than yours. So what if my hair texture is different than yours. I'm American. Not African."
That's a big plus.
Then she said that she refused to say that Cosby tried to molest her when she was on the show. She said he didn't. But because Cosby was "an evil sexual predator", the powers that be in the entertainment industry wanted her to jump in and say that he tried to do something to little five year old Raven. She said it never happened, and she wouldn't say it did.
So that's two big pluses.
And the third reason was she refused to get out and join with the gay pride and the lgbq whatever. Apparently the lady is a lesbian. But she said that who she dates, who she lives with, who she's married to - ain't nobody's business but hers. And she refused to join in to the "we're here, we're queer, get over it!" group.
I thought all three of those reasons were excellent ways to think. And if it made it difficult for her to find a job, and she still has those ideas and reactions - more power to her.

I have a Mk II and IV. Interestingly, it is my understanding that Bill Ruger reverse engineered and improved upon the Japanese Nambu pistol. Yet, when people look at it, my self included, they think "Luger."
1 hour ago, Buckshot Bob said:The old wives tale I always heard was the Luger , this is the first time I remember hearing the Nambu , but I can see the similarities
I've heard both the Luger and the Nambu.
But before he was making guns he made a drill. And amazingly, even though it is neither a Luger nor a Nambu nor even a firearm, it looks like a Ruger 22 automatic pistol.

I don't think he based his 22 on either one of the axis pistols. I think he designed it on what felt good in his hand. And if that happened to look like somebody else's gun - well, stuff happens.

They don't. Ther Lame Stream Media has already done so: It means that you disagree with them because you're not like them.
Back when I was 14 some little kid called me "evil n word".
I just kind of looked at him. I'm white.
I don't think he knew what the word meant. He just knew it was a nasty thing to call somebody.

2 hours ago, when you posted, Instagram was doing its normal thing - would not open for me.
I tried again just now and it opened. And that was quite interesting. Not being a baseball fan, I don't care about a torpedo bat. But that was still quite interesting.

I bought one for my granddaughter. And then I had a custom holster made.
I told the guy it was for a Bearcat - the smaller Ruger single action.
Apparently he was unaware that the Bearcat existed. He made it for a five and a half inch single six.
So I bought her a five and a half inch single six, and I kept the Bearcat.
That makes sense to everybody, doesn't it?

I hang my towels with the towel at the back, just like I do my toilet paper.
Has nothing to do with cats.
When I have how many or how much I want, I jerk the paper sharply up and across. The paper tears at the perforation, as it presses against the remaining roll.
And if, perchance, it does not tear, but pulls more paper out, I just slap the top of the roll towards me and the excess paper rolls back up.
You can't do that if it comes down the front. It takes two hands to tear it off - one to tear and the other to hold the roll, and if you get too much, it is a pain to roll it back on.
My way is the intelligent way, but so many people can't see that.
That's an advantage to living alone - no arguments about how something is done.

There are two 1 week breaks; at Christmas time and again around Easter
Been a while since you been around school, isn't it?
Christmas is 2 weeks. Always has been - back to when I started school in 1960.
Thanksgiving, which used to be "get out at 1:00 Wednesday, with Thursday and Friday off", is now the entire week.
Easter, which used to be "get out at 1:00 on Good Friday" is now spring break, and I believe it's 2 weeks.
But since you are required by law to go to school 181 days, all these extra weeks of vacation, along with "teacher work days" (which seem to come up one Wednesday a month), are the reasons that the "3-month summer vacation" is now about a month and a half.

I have a different brace on mine.
Be honest now.
The "brace" - do you strap it onto your forearm, or do you tuck it into your shoulder?

After watching that first video for about 2 minutes, I have come to the conclusion that that is even stupider than regular baseball.
