Thanks for the heads-up, Steve. 

For those who may have missed it, here's the article ...

[RICKS PLACE]

Looks like the Ranger II is catching on.  I just started to carry mine as a EDC, putting my B/W of many years out to pasture.  Not carrying my Pug as often for a backup.  While I doubt any chance of a reload during a disagreement, I still pack the Pug at times.  I didn't like the Rnger when I started out with it before Xmas.  Now, with no FTF's or light primers, I have more faith in it.  For the past few months, I have "slowly" rotated the action letting the hammer down several times a day and the gun has smoothed up to almost the smoothness of my 9 year old B/W.  (have also done that with the 8 month old Pug with similar results.)  With practice, I can now get to the Ranger hammer without hitting the locking latch.  I also have found to get the hammer in the safety notch, I simply have the action open, line up the safety notch with the half cocked hammer and close the action while holding the cylinder in place.  I close the action, then a slight tug and pull of the trigger still holding the cylinder in place,  I let the hammer into the safety notch perfectly every time.  Works for me. Still don't have the accuracy of my B/W, but with my age and eyes, any disagreement needs to be up close and personal anyway.

 Your not alone Rick with that idea of up close and personal .   Any other confrontation I would rather be on a ridgetop with one of Autofulls Browning 50's with cases and cases of ammo .
