It would make a good match with the CO2 powered six gun Colt Replica.
The one that uses realistic cartridges.
I have one and you can even fan it.
Check it out at pyramydair.com
The Ruger for the range and the airgun for home practice.
Just a thought.

I fondled one today down in Sarasota.

I was expecting a cheap Heritage sort of feel to it and was surprised!

Its nice and heavy with a nice precise feel to the action.

The trigger pull felt nice and light with no creep and that nice "snapping a candy cane" break.

I almost bought it but they wanted $239 + tax and call in and I'm sure I can beat that locally.

Academy has them for $199.00

I got one last night!

Walked into Shoot Straight just to look around, and the first gun on the first display was a silver one.

I remember when I cringed up at $239, This one was $249!

Does your "jingle" some when handling it?
Mine Sounds like there's loose parts flopping around inside....
The "Jingle" is very, very slight when the grips are off.

I think the cheesy plastic grips amplify the sound.

Well, a little research got me an answer on the infamous "Wrangler Jingle".

Its the transfer bar, its perfectly normal.

It just sounds worse than it is due to the cheesy plastic grips.
