    Yes, this is what I use 90% of the time to shoot.

     

    I have a

    T/C Hawken percussion in .45 cal.

    T/C Hawken flint in .50 cal

    T/C Scout carbine in .50 cal

     

    Shooting Black powder is lots of fun.

    I just got a new Green Mountain .50 cal flintlock barrel for Fathers day, I can't wait to take to the range and sight it in....

     

    Been shooting Traditional muzzle loaders since the 1970's.

    Never used a shotgun for deer, I like the precise point of impact on vitals, not a pot luck hit.

    let us know what he finally decides please.

     

    I will do Sir....

     

     

     

     

    I want something that always goes bang and puts the bullet where I aim the gun

     

    Ditto....

     

     

     

    Can't believe all the Ruger hate on here!

     

    I don't get it either, hell I own 6 revolvers from Ruger, and they all go bang every time I pull the trigger...

     

     

    Again, Thank you gentlemen for your help.

    Bill,

    Where do you live in Camden County. If nearby to Cherry Hill / Voorhees I can take you all out to shoot some guns in May

     

    I live in Audubon, my son lives down the road in Haddon Township.

     

    We both belong to South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow. If you want to try there.

     

    It is not for me to try out any pistols, it is just to help my son try the ones he's interested in and decide what is best for him.

     

    I truly appreciate the offer, thank you.

    Again, Thank you all for your input and comments.

     

    I sincerely appreciate it.

     

    My philosophy has always been; "money is a non-issue compared to my life".

     

    I only want the best, meaning this: "reliability each and every time I squeeze the trigger... I want it to go bang, Period!"

     

    I will have my son try out a few pistols before his purchase, I believe there is a place up by sea girt :whistle: where I can try them out.

     

    Personally, I'd rather he just use a revolver, but they are not allowed to carry them.

     

    Hell, he cannot even carry my 35 year old Colt Combat commander, has to use a double action pistol for off duty carry.

     

    What has happened to my America? What has happened to Pistols & Revolvers made of blued steel and real wood?

     

    Everything is a$$ backwards anymore.

     

    The Ruger is a very good gun, very reliable also. But the SIG is on another level. This is not apples to oranges here... this is a Ford f150 stripper to Ford F250 King Ranch comparison.

     

    I understand what you mean by upgraded, fancy, with all of the bells and whistles, but ... I'd choose that old stripper Ford F150 each and every time... if it would start every time I turned the key.

     

    Thanks Guys for all of your help...

    May I have your opinions of the following pistols?

     

    Between the Ruger P90 and the Sig Sauer p220 ...

     

    This choice is going to be used as an off duty piece.

     

    1) Can you please advise me on which is the most reliable. In other words which would you bet your life on?

     

    2) Do you know where my son can shoot one or both of these pistols before actual purchase?

    (Any place that will allow you to try out the pistols in question?)

     

    I have no clue and I'm unable to give an answer from personal experience between the two.

    As an old fart, I only have experience with the wheel guns.

     

    Thank you for any and all assistance.

    imperialfish,

     

    Order a few styles/types from them.

     

    Try them on the piece, and pick the one you really like the most.

     

    Send the others back to the company for refund.

     

    I have done this with the grips I use for my S&W N frame Model 22-4 Revolver.

     

    Worked for me without any problems.

    I make my own beer & wine.

     

    No commercial beer or wine even come close to taste and quality.

     

    I make different types for Summer, Fall, and winter.

     

    The Law states: 100 gallons for an individual or 200 gallons maximum with 2 adults in the home.

     

    You just cannot sell it or your in trouble.

     

    200 gallons is a lot of happiness......

    glen,

     

    I do not want to seem to burst your bubble.... But in NJ you cannot even have a "Sling Shot"! (See 2C39:-3e)

     

    Maybe you were referring to this?

    But, I still believe you will get pinched for possession of the toy in question.
