[thumb:191:l]Went by the gun store to pick up the revolver… the FBI decided I was a good person after all (see last post) and grudgingly let me have the gun I purchased. So here it is- .357 Magnum Ruger SP-101, 5-shot revolver. This may annoy the Smith & Wesson fans who read, but I’m far more partial to Ruger revolvers. To me, they’re just designed so much better, much more robust. Thicker top strap, offset cylinder advance notches (although S&W finally seems to have caught on in this arena), solid frame… sure, it makes them heavy; but when you run out of ammo you can pistol-whip someone with it. Took it by the range and put a box of ammo through it, despite the gale-force winds blowing today; decent 25-yard group even with the wind blowing me around and the short barrel. I’ve got my back-up gun back.

Which brings me to the title of the post- someday I’ll find an ankle holster that fit comfortably and works. The one I have now slides down my ankle and then spins around; I always feel like I’m going to kick it across the parking lot if I swing my foot too hard. But where else am I going to stick it?

Don’t answer that.
