Bad news the Ruger LCP, which we reviewed in Episode 007, has been recalled. Click here for more information.
The ProArms team tries something different for this episode. Normally our producer (me) spends a lot of time editing each podcast, taking out the umms, ahhhs, creaks and any bad words that might occur. This time we are presenting it to you in all its unedited glory. Don’t worry; it still has a PG rating. Sometimes we talk at the same time and interrupt each other. Here you will see what one of our recording sessions really sounds like. Go on over to the Gun Rights Radio forum to let us know if you like this episode; just click the box in the upper left hand side of this page to get there. We talked about so much in this podcast all the links are listed below along with a couple of gun specific fora that may be of interest to aficionados of a particular brand.

Join us as John, Terri, Mas, Mike, Chris and Gail discuss the merits of the fairly new LCP, a mouse gun we can all love. In the second segment: Gail visits the Ruger plant in Newport New Hampshire and talks with some Ruger executives and engineers. There’s a little bit of hum in the background, we made it the best that we could, we were in a factory.
We haven’t had our Ruger SR9 recalled yet but Gunblast offers their opinion on the Ruger SR9 trigger retrofit.

Listen to Steve, John, Mas, Chris, Terri and Gail discuss what we did and did not like about the gun. Please excuse any extraneous background noises as we are recording in a round table setting, for an explanation of any doggie noises see Terri’s new picture on the About Team ProArms page. Chris’ review was done in my car at a shooting range, that should explain the gunfire in the background. This is an active shooting group, so these podcasts will be done at various locations. So far we have recorded segments in some of our homes, on ranges, in hotel rooms and in a minivan. For more information on the Ruger SR9 visit the Ruger Website at: http://www.ruger-firearms.com/
