Does one Ruger make me a RAT?

I bought a well worn .357 Balckhawk a few years ago at a gun show (traded a .303enfield rifle and some cash for it)   I had wanted one for a while.  When I started to reload .357/.38 the Ruger was the first gun I fired any of the rounds in.  I knew this was the strongest gun I had. 
It still functions perfect and will remain one of my "cowboy" guns for a while.
It isn't a colt or clone but it was never intended to be. 
long live the RUGER!

Howdy mustang,

I actually live just south of Columbus and have been a member of the Columbus Rifle Club for about 10 years now.  Our range is NW of Columbus next to the loup canal.
We shoot cowboy guns the first and third Friday evenings each month until winter.
OUr club actually supports many different types of shooting.

[Mustang Gregg]

Okay, Pard!  I have shot at your range ('bout 3 times back in 2002?).  Shameless & Tim Star Tim came over too.
Since I work 100 miles from the house now, I don't have any free time on Fridays, no more.  But we're gonna try again.  Are you shooting in Oct & Nov?  Email me your phone no.

BTW:  You're on the RATS Roll now.

Sign me up!
New to CAS. Got a pair of NV's in 38/357 last month and have put about 500 rounds through each. Best shooters I've ever had. Both shoot so well can't tell which is which unless you look at the serial numbers. How many other makes can you say that about?

My first pistol was a Ruger bought back in 66 at the exchange in Alaska.  Guess I have been a RATS for a long time and did not know it.  Currently have 14 or so and have let go probably close to 65-70 during my lifetime, rifles, pistols and revovlers.  For some reason as much as I like a Colt style gun I have never kept one for long while I just love to keep hold of my Rugers.  Wish they made an open top.  Maybe a 44 special.

THanks for forming a club I can enjoy as much as SASS.

Howdy Mustang,

I'm about 10 minutes from the ball fields in downtown Pittsburgh.

My thanks for adding me to the group!

Coffee's on me.

I thought there was only one kind of RATS, a dirty one.  Shoot nothing but BP in them Rugers and they love it.  Run all day and shoot clean matches also.
