In probably one of my dumber moves I sold a Ruger Security Six in .357 magnum. So now in the midst of an ammo shortage I realize I have enough .38 Special brass and bullets to fight a war on two fronts. And a Chief seems a really good way to do that.

When I got my .22 LR semi auto rifle in a fit of clarity I chose to keep the ‘zero’ by only shooting CCI Stingers out of it. And as an added benefit being a rifle it takes advantage of the extra punch provided by the 1,640 FPS Stinger.

If you look at the hottest new guns the high capacity micro compacts, something soon occurs to the rimfire shooter. As these new 9 mm’s up their capacity to 13, 14 and 15 rounds, the guns made for the minuscule .22 LR cartridge are still limited to 10 rounds.

Speaking of the micro compacts, the Smith & Wesson Shield Plus is all the rage because after a hundred years they managed to make a semi auto that works in all the major areas: trigger, grip, sights, capacity and reliability. Bout time.

And why are gun-makers like Taurus and Rossi so shortsighted they won’t make spare magazines? If they understood at all the hoardy/preppy nature of gun owners they’d know we would easily buy 3 extra magazines per gun. At $20 bucks a piece for 3 guns that’s $180 bucks in magazines on a $250 dollar gun. Are you out to make money or not?
