NRA silver Medal

[d findley]

The NRA Exhibits & Meetings are next month in Dallas. These 2 Rugers were offered for consideration for silver medals at one of their resent meetings in Houston. They were not worthy for consideration for 1 of 20 of those awards. The judges rushed by with just a glance with out-stretched arms to their buddies with antique arms! Why bother?

I dang sure wouldn't have just walked on by! Man, those two are amazing!

There is no accounting for some people's taste in many areas. It's a shame that those 2 fine examples were brushed off. I would like to see what those judges felt was more worthy....

[d findley]

I tried but was not able to get a list of post WWII firearms that received those awards (if any). Not saying there were not more deserving candidates. Just thought the Rugers should have been considered.

I remember the Judges not really looking at Elmers Gun in 2019 at the NRA Show in Indianapolis, I felt we did not get a fair shake on it then. But Hey new Show hopefully new Judges!

Gorgeous revolvers. Historically significant. Linked with men who were pivotal to firearms in general and the .44 Magnum in particular. Would have thought one or both would have been considered. Sincerely. bruce.

Those judges have tunnel vision. If it's not a Colt or Winchester then it's not worthy. Sad but true IMHO.

I believe it. My Colt snob FFL always tells me "there's no such thing as a collectable Ruger"
PRICK!!

JAYDAWG - Don't argue with him, he's an idiot and he'll just bring you down to his level and because he has so much experience (being a dumbass) he will win.
