#5 Actually Fits the Ruger Security-Six
Written on Mar 15, 2022
Review for
Bianchi 111 Cyclone Hip Holster
Always a big fan of the classic 111 Cyclone. Leather and a wheel gun...
After WAY too much research trying to find a quality leather holster for a newly acquired vintage Ruger Security-Six - 6", I stumbled across several old posts stating that the revolver would fit the same holster as a S&W K-Frame. I took a chance and the #5 was a slightly tight fit. Then I soaked it in warm water, wrapped the revolver in plastic food wrap, snapped it in the holster, massaged the leather to form fit it, and let it sit for 3-days to fully dry.
Now a GREAT fitting holster for my Security-Six.
As always, I polish with Brown shoe polish to give it a slightly deeper classy brown tone.

Vortex Scores a 10 With the new Razor LHT 3-15x42mm
Written on Sep 30, 2020
Good things come for those who wait. After a couple of years of searching for the perfect long-range rifle scope for hunting – Vortex just knocked this one out of the ballpark.
My criteria were: clear/bright glass; light weight; parallax adjustment; a KISS reticle with windage and elevation marked in the reticle; a zero-stop; a reticle line thick enough to see in shadows; illuminated; and well under $2K.
A lot to ask for.
I was frustrated with many of the light-weights like Leupold who made “long-range” hunters – but without parallax adjustment and no windage marks for hold over on the horizontal reticle line (?) – Certainly a feature more important than an external windage knob.
Many of the other scope makers had similar designs with Mil-dots or non-enumerated hash marks. Unfortunately, some of the great Vortex range or competition scopes were as heavy as a tank.
I had picked up the now discontinued predecessor Vortex-HD 3-15x42 after reading about it in Phill Massaro’s Big Book of Ballistics. With the original HSR-4 reticle and its 1” lightweight tube – it was a near perfect long-range hunter, with the exception of being non-illuminated.
The new Razor HD LHT 3-15x42mm with its 30mm tube, HSR-5i reticle, and illuminated dot is pretty much – Perfect.
The reticle is SIMPLE and practical. The Zero-stop is Easy to install. Although the Zero-stop limits elevation travel to 29 MOA (or equivalent in the Mil model), for most hunting applications that would get most rifles
