Good (no actually GREAT) weekend

Post by RoninPA »

This past Saturday, the wife and I were headed to a local Friends of NRA Banquet/Auction and I got a call from the President of the RCA, Mr. John Dougan. He asked me to represent the RCA at the 2025 NRA Convention/Show in Atlanta with a display of my double action Rugers. I was, to say the least, overwhelmed with the invitation. We talked a bit and he said that he couldn't remember when, if at all, RCA ever did a NRA display of the Ruger DA revolvers. Of course I told him I would be honored to do it. I'll be talking to him more at Tulsa in November but already sent him a description of my display and which revolvers I would be putting in the display. I will have samples, in chronological order, of all of the DA's past and present. both types of the Six series, Redhawks, GP100s, SuperRedhawks, SP101s and LCRs.

Wow, what an honor to even be considered to do this. I hope to do the RCA, ROCS and Ruger collectors proud.

Oh, and I won a Ruger Precision Rimfire and got a AR15 decanter and glasses at the FoNRA event - that really capped off a great evening.

Ron, You Da MAN!! Congratulations my friend!
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
