We> I've seen them at gun shows, basically trying to grab a piece of

Heritage's market share. I've got a couple of the Wranglers, nicely
made and definitely worth the couple of extra bucks in price over the Heritage. I haven't sprung for any magnum cylinders though, kind of
doubt that I will.

Super Wrangler - saw one Saturday at a gun show. The original Wrangler does NOT use the mag cylinder... So you'd have to buy a new gun, but
since when was that a bad thing? :-)

Super Wrangler, eh? Will have to take a closer look next time I get

Felt the same as the 'base model' - which is GREAT! LOL

near one. Was at a gun show just this past weekend, picked up a 75th
Ruger Anniversary 10/22 in stainless. Looked really nice and the price wasn't bad at all. They also had a 10/22 60th anniversary model with
some bells and whistles but the price was more than I was willing to
give up.

My first gun when I was seven years old was a Browning SA-22, Belgium made. Grew up with that and still have it! Since it was 'my right arm' for so
long, I never really got into the 10/22's.

Also picked up a Wild Bill Hickock tribute Rough Rider that my wife
liked. Nice thing about that one is that it came with LR and WMR
cylinders and the WMR cylinder is engraved with an Aces and Eights
motif. I see that Heritage Mfg is upping the game on their revolvers, they have models with adjustable rear sights now. Might be worth
taking a look at sometime down the road.

Not looking for adjustable sights speciically, but I agree they seem to
have upped the RANGE of their offerings anyway. :-)

You mentioned carrying a .45. She has a 1911 clone she inherited
(I think it's a Springfield) and I bought her some IMOP grips
to replace the hogue - she likes it now. :-)

I resisted the 1911 bug for quite some time. Was quite satisfied with
my PT145 and my SW model 645. Still think the 645 is a better design
as a matter of fact. I got bitten however when a co-worker of my wife's father passed and she was selling his guns to help pay for the funeral.
One of the pieces as a Norinco 1911A1. Got it for $200. Talk about a gateway drug... I now have at least three "unadorned" 1911s as well as three commemoratives (two Trump commemoratives and one Wyoming commemorative, with gold inlays).

LOL - nice! Our youngest son likes his 1911's. I like them okay, but I
don't have the bug. :-) If I have a bug at all it's SAA types (Wranger, Heritage, etc.).

I seriously need to update my inventory sheet. I had 88 entries when I left NY, but that was 12 years and many purchases ago. I'm sure I'm
way over 100 pieces now and some of them are quite impossible to
replace.

Yes - get that done!

I enjoy single action revolvers a lot myself. Have several in a variety of calibers from .22 on up to .45 Colt. My prized SA acquisition was a pair of Ruger Single Action Shooting Society Vaqueros in .45 Colt, stainless steel with sequential serial numbers. My brother in law was VERY much into cowboy action shooting and tried SO hard to get those away from me. Have some very nice looking .38s and .45s in case-hardened finish as well.
