I would als...

Hey Chad,
The link doesn't work for me.

Someone on another forum asked the question: "Why didn't Ruger manufacture a .357 version of the Deerfield?" I've often wondered myself as I think it would be an instant hit with shooters. Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to adapt the design - the magazines already exist. Furthermore, I...

I sure hope you're right, Jay. It looks like VQ left a little raised ring around the chamber, which may have been their solution to extraction problems. If so, the barrel should have been accompanied by a no-dry-fire notice because there's a FP indentation visible in the before pic. I think the main...
