I picked up #48 today. The NRA edition Ruger 22/45. This has the
threaded barrel which will, someday, carry a suppressor. My NFA Trust
is done so now the ATF waiting game begins. I shot one of these at the
Ruger factory - actually their outdoor range down the street - and all
you can hear is the action, the hit on the steel target and the shell
casing hitting the concrete floor. It wasn't my first color of choice
but the NRA edition only comes in red and it looks better in person than
the photo on ruger.com.

When I picked it up today, a older guy at the store was buying five
guns. When he left they told me he owns over 2,000 guns! I can't think
of 2,000 that I would like to own if I had that kind of scratch but he
evidently has an impressive collection.
