Re: How do y'all pronounce "Hoppe's"?
I have always pronounced it "hops", but then again, I am from Coshocton, Ohio. The dialect spoken in this area barely qualifies as English.

Re: How do y'all pronounce "Hoppe's"?
As for the nitwits at Ruger dropping the S, there is no Ruger at the company any more. Bill Ruger croaked, then his son and daughter abandoned ship so now the company is Ruger in name only.
As far as I'm concerned they haven't made much I'm interested in since 1973.

This came up before somewhere. Someone called the company and asked, they said "Hoppys", in case anyone was curious how much of this was opinion or habit.

357 magnum caliber, 44 magnum caliber rather than the proper 357 magnum cartridge, 44 magnum cartridge, etc. Caliber has to do with bore diameter and not a particular cartridge.
Also, news media and lots of people calling a cartridge a bullet.
And, why in the heck does the military call a bullet a projectile? There are lots of projectiles but bullets make it "gun specific."

Well I'll man up and be the only one I see thus far who'll admit I call it "HOPPS". Everyone I know in Minnesota where I grew up (or MINNI as we called it) calls it HOPPS, everyone I know in Arizona calls it HOPPS. It may not be "right", but I think I'm gonna keep callin' it HOPPS!
