Hey folks. Anyone near a Murdoch's might want to check out their sales circular.
Heritage Arms Barkeeps for $99.99. I'd never pay full price for one,
but at that
price I had to drive into town and grab mine. Sale lasts for two more days, I believe...

I bought mine when they first came out, so paid more than that...
Really solid piece and VERY very accurate!

I have several Heritage revolvers. They may not measure up to the
Single Six but they sure give the Wrangler a run for the money. One of
the really nice things about them is that you can order a .22 WMR
cylinder for only $30, and don't have to send the gun in to have the cylinder timed to the gun like you do with the Ruger.
I'll always treasure my Single Six, but I'll have a hell of a lot more
fun with my Rough Riders and Barkeep!

Yes! Another plus! LOL - and if you have ONE magnum cylinder, you
have one for ALL your Heritages. :-)

Have you seen the new Wrangler (I forget the name) that has a magnum cylinder too? Haven't had my hands on one... Wife's father passed
away in June and she inherited a TON of new 'items' so only purchase lately has been a Glock she fell in love with - LOL.
We were at a cabin for fall break and went to the local gun store
(local for that area) and while we were looking around UPS delivered.
They opened the guns that came in and there was a 43x in a grey
I had never seen. She loved the look, the feel, etc. And it was
SO new she got to see it unboxed. LOL
Anyway - we are not gun traders under normal conditions, and
she had taken a .45 (I forget the exact model) but was a short
barral - smaller frame - kind of commander size. We shot less
than a magazine through it and neither of us liked it, so
we went BACK to the store with it and she traded it toward
the Glock. She walked out happy, and has a new EDC. :-)
Me? I'm still carrying the Shield .40. I did get new leather
for some others I wanted to try - I tried the Beretta 92FS
that she inherited - too big to feel comfortable. She also
got a CZ (a Beretta Hi Power clone, basically) - I think it's
a CZ-75? - anyway...
That one I like! Still bigger than the shield, but not too
big, so I keep it in the truck as a backup... My father in
law LOVED hogue grips, so several have them. I bought new
wooden grips for it and it's SO much better to shoot now!
Only issue is if I want it to be an EDC I need to get
bigger magazines... It has 2-10 rounds. Still more than
the Shield holds though...
Sorry for being long winded. :) First time back in months
and I tend to be verbose - LOL

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.

Yeah, I tend to get that way myself after a shot or two if Irish and
beer. Hell, that's what these BBS things are designed for anyway,
right?

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? :-)
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. :-)

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

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).
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.

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.).
