Maybe a Ruger LC9......kinda been wanting one....no particular reason....
As we are living in a different world....with ammo shortages, we are no longer looking at, "What is the best caliber for whatever"?, so........Maybe fill in a few more H&R barrels....just to have a platform to shoot what ever ammo I can find ...that goes boom, ....LOL

I'm pretty much to the point if I can find anything that I like well enough and can afford I will probably try to figure out a way to buy it (it'll need to fit into my existing calibers of firearms.. cause you know I STILL only have that RG .22 cal single action revolver and that single shot .22 rifle my folks bought me when I was a kid)
I'm thinking black powder revolver if I can find one that has a grip big enough to hold without busting my middle finger knuckle on the trigger guard.. and a BP rifle. Be nice to have one of each in the same caliber.

TW, they make the Ruger old army in a blue version if the stainless was not to your liking. I was out today on my quest to find the perfect octagon barrel lever cowboy gun, to no avail. Although, at one store, there was this one poor homeless springfield xdm 20 round 9mm....that really took to me,...so feeling sorry for it, I let it come home with me..just for a while. LOL  |

Hunter, I bought one of those little LC9's about three months back and really like it. I retired the keltec 380 to move up to the nine at nearly the same size. A little more bulky but I think it is worth the difference to have 8 rounds of 9mm, over 7 of the 380. It has worked flawlessly so far at 200+ rounds.

LOL As far as I know the Ruger Old Army is no longer made....sadly. But if you do find one, be aware that a replacement cylinder is available to allow .45 lc to be fired in it. THEN those cartridge can be losded with BP.....how cool in that? LOL BP revoler, loaded with cap and ball/bullet, or cartage .45 lc, or .45 lc w/ BP .....  |

Yep, they stopped aways back, but there are still quite a few on the auctions, but man they are high. They also made a sweet little inline BP rifle for a while. I had one in stainless with laminated wood stock. I guess they had business reasons for dropping them.  Looks like you latched onto one. Nice.
