Having Trouble Getting Back in the Harness

Of course, it could be that this is the first working day of the year and I'm swamped. I got this incredibly stupid idea thatI was going to overhaul my recording studio, which I've been tinkering together as each piece of equipment failed over the years. In fact, I have no idea how I built the thing in the first place...maybe the South Park underwear gnomes built the whole thing. I started it on a shoestring and got the cheapest stuff I could, then added an excellent Audio Technica studio mike, which has to be the only thing in the studio worth keeping. In short, about 30% of it works, which allowed me to do the podcast as long as I didn't accidentally bump anything.

You should see the wreckage now! Hopefully, I can order enough stuff tomorrow to have the studio back up at least 90% in a few days. I wish I lived next door to a sound engineer...or a miracle worker...

Anyway, about the Ruger SR22 .22 pistol...didn't get a chance to get out and shoot it today because of the aforementioned mess. It's the same size as my SR9c carry gun, which is good, as I see it as practice piece. I'd rather it was more like the SR9c in layout and with a similar fire control system as opposed to a hammer DA/SA, but hey, no one asked. The SR22 does feel good in my hand, which is a big plus. It does cry out for a threaded barrel, though. Should be an aftermarket one pretty quick. Of course, I'm in Month 5 of waiting for my silencer paper to clear ATF, so there's apparently no rush.

Since it's a Ruger, it's more likely to work than that "W" thingie so many of you will write me about. Yes, yes...I know all about the "Cult of W..." I do like my PPK/S, but the .22s I've shot have been problematic. Maybe Thursday at the range.

I got a really cool giveaway gun in the mail today...a Ruger 556 rebuilt by JP Rifles! Man, is this a nice rifle! More details when we formally announce the giveaway, which may be after SHOT.
