Hey now big boy, you yelled at me the last time I mentioned the "T" word on this forum, remember.
The "T" only accepts 5 rounds instead of 6, like the Ruger. And the Ruger comes with scope mounts and rings. Also has a slightly longer barrel.
Plus, I could not find any reviews of the "T", but found many on the Ruger. So between the 3 above things, I decided, even though it was more money, to go with the Ruger.
By the way, Seriously Alfred, there is NO good hunting down here except for farm hunting with hogs and stuff. Do you have any REAL hunting up there? And if so, would you be interested in a hunting excursion??

Sounds great. In Florida, if you were Born before 1974, you don't need to take a hunters safety course to get your license. Also, if you were in the military, you don't need to. You can get your license in 3 days over the internet. Pretty cool.
If you have time today, read this review of the .480. This gun is awsome. 5" shot groupings at 150 yards.....in a handgun. The writer downed a wild boar at 167 yards, that's awsome.
Read it if you have a chance. I'd love to come up and do some hunting, or you come down and you, your friend and a bunch of us can go hoggin' , then after we leave that bar, we can go hunting for boar..... ha ha.

Huh, weird. I couldn't sleep not one minute last night. I stayed up all night watching movies on HBO and thinking about blowing hog brains all over the sugar cane!!!
I'm on the net now trying to decide on which scope I want to purchase to mount on it. Not something too high powered, just something good for 150 yards.
This gun, I'm glad to say, finally completes the necessity portion of my collection. You know, the variations of guns you need to accomplish certain individual tasks. So, I can take a break now from gun purchases for a while as this will be #5 in my collection.

Lets see, I have....
.380 North American Arms Guardian, for my conceal and carry. I keep this in my briefcase.
.40 Ruger P94 auto, I keep in my sock drawer next to my bed. I love this gun also.
.44 S&W Magnum revolver in stainless steel with all the cowboy holsters and belts for my cowboy action shooting weekends and all around blowing things up. Only a 4" barrel so it's not really great for hunting.
Baikal 12Guage Side by Side break-away double barrel 2 3/4 20" barrel shotgun, also for my cowboy shooting days and to look nice hanging in my living room. Also good for slug shooting and general varmint blasting.
.480 9 1/2 Super RedHawk Ruger for hunting and killing basically anything I want at just about any range.
So, I think I've covered all the basic necessities.

You are correct. Bass Pro Shops stiffed me for that Casull, which, if they had not I wouldn't be getting the Ruger.
Bass Pro Shops has such great prices, but they are soooooo strict with selling handguns.
I tried to buy 2 guns from them, and both times they told me I was declined after calling in my search. Crazy, I have a concealed weapons permit!!!
Of course I went right to my local shop afterword and immediately got approved from them when they called me in.
The Casull from Bass Pro, it took them 1 week to call it in and get a response. I just don't get it. I had placed a deposit on it and everything. Anyway, after I waited a week and they declined me I said the heck with them and went to my local shop. That's when I bought my .44 Mag, and that gun kept me busy for a while.
Now I never go to Bass Pro for anything anymore because they are so screwed up.
So, I currently don't have anything from T. I think when we first met was when I was waiting for my approval on the Casull.
I was also dating a Brazilian girl at the time so she influenced me a little on the purchase (or attempt of purchase) of the T.

No, she doesn't work for the company.
Pompano Beach, where I live, is like China Town in NY. It's ALL Brazilians and Brazilian everything. Brazilian bars, clubs, restaurants. And Brazilian chicks are hot. They have only 2 purposes in life......#1 Party (they have huge parties every single night for any reason. #2 Sex (They could have sex 150 times per day and it still would not be enough, even with multiple partners).
I dated her steady for about a year and honestly just could not keep up with her and she was only a few years younger than me.
We're still friends though.
She just saw the "Made in Brazil" on the side of the gun and persuaded me to buy it, well not persuaded because I wanted it anyway, it's just that she seemed shocked that Brazilians actually MADE and exported something. kinda funny when I think back about it.
