By "elder" do you mean ancestor?

Thank you, I wish I could make that! From Beaver Bill Forging Works in Oregon.

Wow, his works are gorgeous, awesome workmanship!

I don't have any ancestors that are also my son that I know of, how about "oldest son"?

I know, I was making a joke about the time frame in which an axe like that would be used. It was just perfect that you used "elder" as well.

Nice. Dad and kid Rugers. Would interested in a reliability report down the road.

Have you gotten to try out the Fiveseven yet? Dad and I each got one. We both like them but the manual of operations are different from the FN that it takes a bit of getting used to.

I was only able to put 40 rounds thru the 57 because I only have two boxes of ammo. But it functioned perfectly and seemed to be extremely accurate though I didn't get to put anything on paper. It shoots right to point of aim out to at least 40 yards. Grapefruit sized rocks at roughly 40 yards were easy...put the front sight on a 6 o'clock hold and pull the trigger. The trigger bites my finger just a little on this one...right at the bottom. It seems to pinch the trigger finger between the bottom of the trigger and the trigger guard. It's not bad...just slightly annoying. I have to make a conscious decision to place my finger slightly higher on the trigger guard than what comes natural. I can see where this would be an outstanding gun for home protection. It's really big, even though it is light, so I don't see carrying this one. But for the house? Yeah...I think it would be a great choice.

I put about 120 rounds thru the little LCP II, various types. CCI Quiet was the only thing it had issues with...wouldn't cycle enough to eject. But that's hardly a surprise. It ran really well with Mini-Mags and PMC Sidewinders. Only complaint is it only comes with one mag and extras are kinda pricey. I can see this being an occasional carry gun in the summer when I need something really small and light. I really like this one.

I've never fired an FN so I don't know. The Ruger seems pretty straightforward to me. The only difference from any other handgun I noticed was the mags load like rifle mags instead of handgun mags. The mag release is a little awkward for me, too. The grip is fairly long from front to back and I don't have big hands. When I adjust my grip to release the mag the heel of my hand often interferes with magazine ejection. But...I've not shot it near enough to get really comfortable with the quirks of this gun.

I'm not much of a Ruger handgun fan... But I really like these two.

Neither my 10/22, or my Mark IV will cycle CCI Quiets. Supposedly there is a semi-auto version of the quiets out there, but I can't even find the most basic version usually so I've never seen them.
