So how many of you say "StRUm and Ruger" when it's really "StURm and Ruger"?

There's no umlaut in Sturm (in either the last name or the German word for Storm).

I know. I do it because I'm strange.

Yeah maybe. But there's a tiny little town southwest of Nashville called 'Sante Fe'. The locals pronounce it 'santa fee'. I just can't get on board with that

Don’t get me started on Camp Le Jeune vs Camp Le “jern”

I knew it was Sturm, but I generally just say Ruger.

Regarding Leupold, I pronounce it Le Up Old.

I say it with the long "U". Or just say "Ruger".

That cartoon evidently dates from 1949. It’s a telling comment on how our culture has changed in 70 years to think that the producers of the cartoon could expect that an audience of children, or even adults, would have had the slightest understanding of what it referred to.

If the breaking baton wasn't a tipoff, the hair should have been. Or should I say "hare"?

I have about a dozen Blackhawks (Old Model) in several calibers--I really am fond of them!

I've never heard anyone pronounce it 'Strum'.
