green., your aged, sainted G-ma should be encouraged. I broke it down into its three parts and cleaned out the the small amount of factory goo. I put it back together and fired 150 CCI MiniMags through it. Details: -- I used a one pound rubber hammer to remove the Main Spring Housing -- no damage to...

Optics Ruger 22/45

I wear bifocals all the time. Is there a sight and/or scope that would help me to see the sights and the target. Thanks!

WELL YIPEE!! It is mine, mine, mine. Now what the hell do I do?! I know, RTFM! I did that ,well skimed it a couple of times on the web. So I now must read the manual a couple of times 10146 in hand. It must be one of the last 10146s as Ruger removed it from the 2012 catalogue. The Ruger papers were ...

UPS tracking shows that the package from Bud's Gun Shop spent the weekend in the UPS depot 4.5 miles southeast of my home. It was scaned at 2:15AM this morning and departed. It was arrival scanned at the customer service center on the other side of my home - 10.3 miles to the northwest at 3:00AM. It...

Thank you, blue and green, I will start looking this week.

A UPS package from Bud's has made it to Chicago. I live about three miles from their distribution center. Do they deliver on weekends? Will my FFL guy call me? I'll probably have to be patient. Argh, the waiting, the waiting!

I've got everyhing pretty well covered except ear protection. I have no clue re what to get. My hearing is already sub par and I want to save what I have left. I visited a range a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad they lent me some ear muffs. WOW, someone was shooting something very big. I could not ...

I feel like when I first got my hands on a watch; way back when they had gears and springs. I was good at taking it apart. Puting it together - not so much. Yes, 242 is for the sight if needed. I have access to carpet samples to use as pads. I hope you are right about the polymer frame producing eas...

Update. UPS tracking number issued last night. Delivery to FFL office in three or four days, I hope. Now what about my accessory shopping list? Number one priority is ear protection. I'd like to protect what little I have left. I wear glasses and will need protection over them, right? There is the r...

Bullets for Ruger 22/45

This "newby" has a new 22/45 stainless on the way. I've read a lot about the gun and ammunition. Their seem to be many manufacturers, bullets and powder loads. There are many opinions re: dependability - FTF, FTE, stove piping, etc. Beyond the dependability issues, are there any bullets that should ...

Thank you! My learning curve will remain vertical for some time, I am sure. When the 22/45 arrives I'll have more reading to do - then out with the two pound rubber hammer. I'm not a Swiss watch repair man so this will get interesting.

I took Baldy's advice and yesterday ordered a Ruger 22/45 stainless from Bud's. The price was right and they have it in stock. My FFL deals with them weekly and has high praise for Bud's.

Greener, you aren't kidding! Brad at Bud's said seven to ten days. I'm trying to set a low expectation level in my head so I can be extra happy if it arrives in less time. The anticipation is killing me; especially since I haven't owned a gun in over thirty years!

Thanks for all the good ammo info. I thought I would start out with the CCI and work through the rest. I have about a 10 day to two week wait before I see the gun if what Bud's Guns says is accurate.

I bought - I think!

Half an hour ago I placed my order with Brad in sales at Bud's Gun Shop. As some of you know Ruger made big changes to their web site over the weekend. Of course they removed their Cat.# KP512MK3RP Model# 10146. This is the 22/45 Hunter - 5.5" stainless barrel - plastic grip frame - Cocobolo grips -...
