Ruger Blackhawk: The Single Action Army
Ruger Blackhawk

It’s hard to think how the Single Action Army could be improved, but Ruger found a way to do it.

Shooters, in turn, more than responded.

The Blackhawk was and is one of the all-time most popular guns to roll off the company’s assembly line.
What made it popular, aside from the Western movies of the day, was the single-action’s ability to digest magnum rounds.

Originally chambered for shooters favorite .357 Magnum, a .44 Magnum model soon followed.

The old original “Flattop” models are the apples of collectors’ eyes.

But for plain old shooting fun, the newest models rolling off the line are a worthy addition to any gun safe.

    American militia diplomats were fully aware that the French were more antagonists of the English than their (US’s) friend. Moreover, doughty Jay became alarmed by the proposal of Joseph Rayneval, Vergennes’ secretary, that US should be cooped itself up to east of the Appalachians for Spain’s interest. His suspicion arose when he came to know that Joseph Rayneval secretly left Paris for London.

    Ammunition takes a major role in all firearm purchases, but a person should take into account how the weapon feels, how easy it is to handle, whether it is for recreation or self-defense, and much more. There is no one answer when it comes to shooting, and it can be overwhelming to see all the choices there are. Whether it be the 9mm’s unrivaled carrying capacity and low recoil, the .45 ACP’s unparalleled stopping power and damage, or just going by the numbers, a shooter should always weigh the options before choosing a firearm to protect themselves. No matter the ammunition type, practice and experience is what conquers in firefights on every battlefield. That is why, no matter what they are shooting, those who defend the innocent from threats, both foreign and domestic, keep their skills…

    S.150, Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Ban was proposed in response to the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut where a shooter went on a rampage killing several students and teachers with a high powered, high capacity riffle. Lawmakers want to stop the manufacturing of high capacity weapons which will make the repeating of tragedies like the one seen in Newtown that much harder. Currently there is no federal law which restricts the round capacity of a weapon. However with gun laws so diverse around the nation it is a good possibility that states have their own round capacity laws for firearms. Several states has had and has Assault Weapons Bans in place, but each differing in what guns qualify as an assault rifle.

In the top of the painting we can observe a couple of men fighting and a horse. The two men fighting might represent the effort that the city has made to get where they are at this point, while the horse might represent the power that the people have when they're together. It also shows five cars, each with a heart above, which might mean all the missions in California and how lovely the people of California is.…

    I stopped thinking for a moment and pulled my gun from my satchel. It was specially made for our battles, but every person chose a way it was made. Mine is black with silver flowers etched onto the handle, and it holds about 27 bullets. I’m not sure what you’d call it, but we’ve created a name for kicks. Each gun is called a Lavoise 13. Mostly everyone has at least one, but some are stolen. That doesn’t happen as often, though.…
