Thinking of getting my 15yr old a gun for Xmas

I have "Elsie" for that, LC9S

What model Ruger do you have now?

I hated to see the Ruger P series go. I still have a P90 and two P95s. They are great guns, but Ruger's new lines are just as good if not better.

I guess that answers my question.

My wife has an LC9S Pro that she uses as her daily carry gun. It has a great trigger and is one of very few subcompacts I would feel comfortable carrying.

Good choice.

I wish I still had my Colt Python, worth a good buck today

My first revolver was a .357 Colt Python.

My first revolver was a .357 Colt Python.

The Python is really the gold standard of wheelguns. I don't have any Colt revolvers. I have several Smith and Wessons and a couple of Taurus revolvers, but no colts. My favorite is my Ruger Security Six, with my Smith and Wesson 625 Mountain Gun and Taurus Tracker not too far behind.

He knows how to handle one, I take him shooting often,. I have a compact 9mm now, Ruger and was thinking of getting the full size Ruger 9mm just for shooting.

I not familiar with Ruger riffles but 9 mm are fairly popular. Do you or he hunt?
