Wheelgun Wednesday

Ruger is a pretty squared away company in not only the firearms that they craft and sell to the public, but also their marketing. After all, you “only get to make a first impression once” - referring to announcing something new - and Ruger typically does a good job of directing that messaging. Although, there is a rare occasion where they might have a minor tweak to an existing model that does not require the same “pomp and circumstance.” That is the case today. Ruger has a new Lipsey’s Distributor Exclusive wheelgun with a Ruger Blackhawk Bisley .44 Special model that did receive the same fanfare one would expect. We are going to take a look at this single-action pistol today to see if it is something you may want to holster, or potentially leave behind. Let’s dive in!

Elmer Keith purportedly once shot a mule deer at 600 yards with a .44 magnum revolver. Instagram revolver aficionado @stateline_shootist decided to see how possible that shot really was. Is it possible, or is it a tall tale? Let’s find out.

This week on Wheelgun Wednesday, we are revisiting a revolver that isn't necessarily new to the market - it was announced a couple years ago - but it may have never crossed your radar or pocketbook because it is a Talo Distributor Exclusive model. This means that it is a limited-run, small batch manufactured revolver that is meant to be unique, semi-rare, and flatly, cool! So, today we are going to take a gander at the Ruger LCRx 9mm 3” to see if this is something you may want to add to your arsenal. Let’s dive in!
