    .45 ACP is now in use again for me with this Ruger P90DC I recently acquired.

    I bought a P90 back in 1994. I didn't care for the trigger, but it was very reliable. It would feed and chamber empty 45 ACP brass with no problems whatsoever. I was hoping Ruger would improve the design, but Bill Ruger thought that the inconsistent trigger made the pistol safer for some reason. He also thought no one needed to have a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds. I always liked Ruger firearms. They are built bank-vault tough, and priced (in their words) "for the everyman." Ruger has made some very good firearms since Bill's passing. I always wanted to try their gas piston AR, and I still want a No.1 rifle chambered for 6.5 Swede. I used to have a stainless Mini 14 Ranch Rifle. I liked it but it was nowhere near as accurate as the AR15s of that time. I'd like to get another one for plinking/truck rifle, but the prices of those went way up in recent history. I got mine for $450.00, used but shot very little. That was back in 1997 or so. Back then you could only get 10 round factory magazines and the aftermarket magazines were not very reliable. I think my favorite Ruger firearms (that I have owned) was my 357 Mag/38 Spl/9mm Convertible New Model Blackhawk, and the Ruger Security Six that my Dad left me when he passed. It's got a 6 inch barrel. It is well made, and quite accurate. My wife likes to shoot it because the small, factory grips fit well in her hands.

    Have fun with the P90! They are not bad firearms, especially for the price.

    My latest acquisition was earlier this year. It's not a rifle with nice bluing and figured walnut. It's pure utility: A BCM MLOK RECCE 16. I got it brand new with a Trijicon ACOG TA31 RCO with a green fiber optic. It works very well. It should for what it cost...

    I want another Colt Gold Cup Trophy, like the one I had to sell several years ago to pay some bills. It will have to wait, though. I just had to completely replace the only bathroom in our house. It will take a couple of years to pay for that.

    I think we have all sold some firearms we wish we had back. Working as a Peace Officer, in some of these small rural towns and counties, did not pay well enough to live up to any kind of standard of life.

    I had the 40 cal version of this one. Didn't care for the slide having something mounted on it. Mine had hardly been shot, and the slide was hard as hell to pull back, and the decocker didn't help that. But once I got it rolling it shot great.
