What's up with kids nowadays ?

[XtremeVel]

Thought I would pass down a Ruger single six convertible to my son like my dad did when I was young. When I was about 12, my dad told me that he would give me this Ruger as a gift after I graduated high school. Well, my son is also 12 now, and I just recently told him the same. He just gave a little smile and his eyes immediately went to my safe door and glanced things over and said that my XD-45 or a Glock would make a better gift. WTF ? ? ? Don't kids now days have any sentimental values ? LOL

NO!

I guess it's not cool enough for him.

 

[Colt556]

I'll take it. Looks awesome to me.....

 

[Hondo]

I am kind of old....but if you adopt me I would be happy to accept that Ruger...

LMAO. I don't think he will take you up on that. I got a hunch son is going to accept it whether he likes it or not.

Hopefully he will realize what it is and what it means when he is a little older. Sounds like a great gift to me!

I just hope he keeps it in the family and continues the tradition. I never had any kids and not certain where my stuff will end up.

I'm sure it will remain. Son will be happy with it. He is at the age now he just wants to be like dad.... likes his Glocks and XD's.

You saw him last weekend. The way around that is not to bring any. But the trouble was he gravitated to the 2 new ones and by time I got to shoot them, he had already burnt thru most the ammo. LOL

Very true good thing you reload

 

[Colt556]

Did you have a red insert put in that front sight or is that paint? Never seen a Ruger like that.

 

[Colt556]

It looks as if it has had a ramp put on it...

It's a red insert. It was modified when he bought it. It already had the vent rib and grips. He bought it used probably in the late 70's. It is the new model though.

And you better hope that the son doesn't trade in the Ruger for a gun he really wants.

i've got kids you can will it all to. PM me for details!

Wow. I got a single six from my dad a long time ago. Despite how much I like a lot of my newer guns, that single six is still to this day the most enjoyable gun to shoot. I love that gun and will never get rid of it except to family (maybe).
