And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My memory is that warning was the result of a lawsuit, brought by someone who did not understand basic safety practice of Colt SAA revolvers and their subsequent clones.
All my Ruger single action revolvers have three screws (and I don't care that their cylinders don't turn backwards).
The warning rollmark on my 2014 Bisley .44 Special is on the bottom of the barrel so as to not deface it's prettyness. All the rest of my Blackhawks are pre-warning models.
I take the bottom one please. had a Ruger 357 that was like that one. great gun. fun to shoot and accurate as hell too. it got sold when I needed money while I was married. never got around to getting another one , although I did think about it a few times.
bird heads are harder to shoot
ReplyDeleteHarder to shoot what? No, about as hard as getting a coke out of a coke machine with money.
DeleteRuger with it's stupid roll embossed safety warning defacing every barrel. My kindergarden round sissors should also be engraved with..."don't run."

That top Bisley is one fine looking revolver. It definitely belongs to a man with excellent taste.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Bill Ruger was not a fan of rollmarked cylinders like hat. It had to be one of the few times his company did something he didn't care for.
On the other hand, it was favored by Colt in 1851
