    Learning curve would be a challenge, as the steering wheel is on the right.
    62k on the clock.

    I have a GP 100 also, pretty well modified. Shot a 4 point buck with it up near June Lake loop many years ago, 50 yard shot. Don't think I could do it now-without a scope! I carry a CZ-75B.

    A neighbor of mine has a Toyota 60 series that is right-hand drive. Learning was a bit of a challenge. Being a passenger was even harder-felt like I needed to do something while sitting there. Came from England. Also got a front end crashed twin, cut off the front and made a trailer out of it. Looks cool going down the road.

    GP 100 is one I always wanted.
    I have an "in" for a deep discount on Rugers.
    Just have to "pull the trigger".

    I carry semi's but have carried revolvers they are point and shoot very little chance of failure that 357 with federal hydra shock 38's in It would make a fine piece if you can hide it with your size.

    Ruger set up shop about 4 miles from here. The original red garage where they started still stands.

    Factory still there, but only a couple work operations remain.

    A jam in a semi-auto could be life altering, revolver-just pull the trigger again.

    That GP 100 won the Gold Medal at the Pa. State Olympics, it has been highly customized and tuned also. I inherited it from my FIL. We stayed best friends even after his daughter left us. When he called to tell me he won the Gold I asked if it was Sr. class or standard class and he was kind of miffed and said regular class. He was 67 at the time.

    I grew up with S&W wheel guns and all of mine have been back to the pro shop for tuning. One of my sons have the rest of my pistols. The GP 100 is the first Ruger I have owned since a short stint with a blackhawk back in the 70's, for some reason thought I needed a 44 mag. but didn't last long. The GP 100 is so good to me I almost never shoot the S&W guns anymore.

    Congrats on his medal. Great piece to have then, comes with a legacy. I had a 44 super blackhawk 7 1/2" barrel once. That dragoon style trigger guard just beat the crap out of my hands. I wanted to use it to handgun hunt deer and up to a black bear. Sold it, maybe should have just changed out the trigger guard instead. Regret:frusty:

    I have an older Ruger M77\22 and it is one of the most accurate 22 guns I have ever owned or seen. It is as close to an Anschutz target 22 but in a hunting rig that I think you can ever get.

    Back when I had more land and less people around after supper every evening I would take it out back and shoot 10 shots at a 50 ft. NRA qualifying target from offhand at 100 yards. Every once in while I would put all 10 shots in the 5-10X ring. It really helped my shooting for center fire hunting a lot. Although I always preferred to fill my tags with the bow if I could.

    Ouch! That is going to leave a mark. No wait it is Greg, it won't.

    Although he even went out to get beer in shorts. And no way I am going out in shorts here even though it finally is above zero. And they don't sell alcohol on Sundays here. :(

    Idk it was a Kawasaki battery one you have to fill and had been good for 2-3 years. The tender is flashing green which according to the chart on it means battery at 80% charge but it flashes green when its unhooked also

    When you unplug you need to power down. Hook up then plug back in. It will get confused without what it was looking at.
