Today was a good day... and a big thumbs up to D&T Arms

[gunrunner32]

Well I finally made it back to Nashville after being stuck in Chicago over night, not to mention the insanely long flight that brought me to Chicago. So on my way back home from the airport I had to stop by D&T Arms to pick up a few presents I had sent to me. While I was there I was browsing the shop while waiting on my paperwork to go through and found another addition to the family I couldn't not give a good home to. Despite the fact my wife's friend telling me that "I know she will be mad", I went ahead and added it to the list of things going home with me.

First up is the Puma M92 with fiber optic sights, 18" barrel ported chambered in .454 Casull and .45LC. Nice little rifle and the action is good and smooth.

Second in the package I had waiting on me was the Ruger Super Redhawk, 7.5" barrel, chambered in both .454 Casull and .45LC. Smooth action with some minor flaws, but what do you expect from a used gun, nothing a little oil and patience won't fix.

The little orphan that found it's way to my house is the Rossi Ranch Hand, chambered in .45LC. It was on the wall for $445 so I couldn't pass it up especially since I haven't seen one around town in .45LC for some time now, they keep escaping me. I always hear about them, but are gone before I can get there. Well my wife wasn't too happy about this one but she got over it quickly when I told her that I had been looking for this for a while now....what she doesn't know is that if I don't already have it, I'm looking for it.

David at D&T Arms like always was a great help and had no problem adding it to my paperwork for me. So in all my dealings there I can't say how great of a shop it is, and the staff is always friendly and a good atmosphere. While we were there my wife's friend had to pick up a case for her shotgun since my friend (her boyfriend) has it wrapped in a towel, you just can't teach some people. Also in the mix, the guy I got the package of .454's from also threw in some ammo, about 144 rounds of .454 Casull 300 grain and 20 rounds of .454 Casull 320 grain. Out the door with the little orphan, soft case and 2 transfers, this trip home from the airport only set me back $525 otd, which is a hell of a deal to me. Thanks again David, I appreciate your help on my newTime for pictures now:

Range report from yesterday. I made the long trek to Ohio Thursday night and last night Dad and I went shooting. Unfortunantly the indoor range here in Cincinnati doesn't allow for rifles to be shot so I had to leave the Puma 92 at the house. The Ranch Hand and Super Redhawk made the first appearance in my hands. The Redhawk was shooting 300gr JPH, with that it was fairly accurate in my hands. Dad opted to only shoot 2 rounds from it, he said the last .454 he had left him with a had experience, that and bad elbows. I punished myself by shooting a total of 12 rounds through it, after which my hand physically hurt. The action of the revolver was smooth and crisp, the round went where the sights lined up at and overall I couldn't be more pleased with it. The Ranch Hand definantly got some attention as it sat on the table surrounded by other revolvers. It shoots like a .22, there's little to no kick despite the fact it's a .45lc. The sights shoot a little high however they are adjustable so I can fix it later. Again the action is tight, it's new, but still smooth and the sights are something new to me but I like them. Dad liked it more than any other pistol we brought with us, and I couldn't be happier that I stubled across it at D&T Arms.

David had a hell of a price on it, below MSRP. I can't thank David enough for helping me to piss off my wife, he's always got something that I'm looking for when I go in there. Usually my wife prevents me from getting it though, but she wasn't with me on this trip.

BEAUTIES. And I too would add a shout out to and FOR D&T. I have sent several folks there way after the great experiences I have had there. What all calibers are available in that ranchhand ? May have to check into one of those that looks like more fun than a barrell of monkeys.

The ranch hand comes in .44 mag, .45lc and .38/.357. It's a blast to shoot and a real attention hog when it's sitting on a table of beauties.

After seeing the Ranch Hand I want to watch Wanted: Dead or Alive. I've always wanted one. Very nice!
