Super Wrangler, eh?  Will have to take a closer look next time I get near one. 
Was at a gun show just this past weekend, picked up a 75th Ruger Anniversary
10/22 in stainless.  Looked really nice and the price wasn't bad at all.  They
also had a 10/22 60th anniversary model with some bells and whistles but the
price was more than I was willing to give up.  

Also picked up a Wild Bill Hickock tribute Rough Rider that my wife liked. 
Nice thing about that one is that it came with LR and WMR cylinders and the WMR
cylinder is engraved with an Aces and Eights motif.  I see that Heritage Mfg is
upping the game on their revolvers, they have models with adjustable rear
sights now.  Might be worth taking a look at sometime down the road.

I resisted the 1911 bug for quite some time.  Was quite satisfied with my PT145
and my SW model 645.  Still think the 645 is a better design as a matter of
fact. I got bitten however when a co-worker of my wife's father passed and she
was selling his guns to help pay for the funeral.  One of the pieces as a
Norinco 1911A1.  Got it for $200.  Talk about a gateway drug...  I now have at
least three "unadorned" 1911s as well as three commemoratives (two Trump
commemoratives and one Wyoming commemorative, with gold inlays).  

I seriously need to update my inventory sheet.  I had 88 entries when I left
NY, but that was 12 years and many purchases ago.  I'm sure I'm way over 100
pieces now and some of them are quite impossible to replace.
