    I like my Stainless Mini-14 and my 10/22 clone (maybe two or tree Ruger factory parts in the whole rifle) but i will never own their hand guns. Ugly, clunky and heavy (all them words will fit in the issues the handguns have[:D]).

    As for Smith & Wesson, I'll buy the pre-Clinton selling out years. I'll never own the preinstalled locking ones. As for the S&W 1076 (fits my hand perfectly) and the 610 (for the ability to shoot .40S&W and 10mm[;)]). Love to get me a S&W 649.

    He Dog, you may be right. The guy who let me shoot his Ruger is from Bosnia. He was in the Army there. Im not in love with him! But i was really happy i made a new friend, most times when i go there, its silent, everyone is so serious, and everyone is soo scared to talk to each other. My Brother, Ezr(Bosnian) and I were the only ones who were talking to each other. Everyone else was close lipped as a clam, makes me sad, there is supposed to be a certain aire of comraderie between us, at least thats what i thought.


    I hope he is as fine a fellow as you believe, I admit to being a little concerned about his intent. Enjoy your new friend, but keep your eyes open. And, before you buy a Ruger, try some other semi-autos.

    I am still wondering how one gets a Ruger with a "crisp" trigger. I never saw a Ruger handgun with a decent trigger from the factory. They are solid, durable, dependable guns, but there is nothing precise about them.


    Try a pre '73 Blackhawk(mine is a 6 1/2" .41 Mag) that has not been sent back to the factory to have the transfer bar safety installed--best trigger on any handgun I've ever shot. But as the saying goes-your mileage may vary. I own 6 different Rugers and have had zero problems-but again to each his/her own--I'm kinda biased anyway as I like most all firearms--cept for maybe RG's lol

    and thats exactly why they should have stopped at revolvers, and rifles, semi auto handguns are not their strong point at all

    I agree with cce1302 he is obviously a deserning individual. I had a Ruger P85 and after changing out the springs (basically making it feel like a P89) it was pretty nice. Probably the toughest semi auto I have ever owned. Ruger has final inspection and final polishing issues but they still make good tough guns. Now Taurus on the other hand.[}:)]

    Actually they started with a semi-auto. The entire Sturm Ruger company was built on the original MKI semi-auto .22 pistol. Everything else came later.

    The first gun I bought my wife, (then girlfriend) was a SS w/grey wood stock Ruger 10/22. She loves the thing.

    My dad's got a blackhawk .357, P89 and a P97 and I just picked up my new blackhawk .45LC thirty minutes ago.

    I guess we like them. They're practically part of the family now. [:D]

    I never thought about owning a 9mm before last week. I won an auction as most of you know if you have read any of my post's. I must say that I never have liked the look of the P series and therfore never even picked one up. But, I was pleasantly surprised at the weapon. Good feel, nice action, no problem with magazine release and reloading at all. It straight and true. I put 200 rounds downrange without a hickup, slow action or brass in the face. I will state though that the trigger is not exactly what I would like. It had allot of slack in it on double action mode. But the weapon was brand new too and of course I only shot it double action less than 5 times. I think the next time out I'll concentrate on working that double action and see if this tightens up at all. But overall guy's, I was extremely pleased with it.

    I think guns are alot like cars we buy---lots of us drive chevy-some ford-some dodge-some jeep-japanese etc. and we all have our preferences due to problems we have had with cars and guns --makes me wonder if we can find out what day our guns were made and don't buy monday and friday ones lol

    Not a real Ruger fan, even though I own a half dozen or so...With the exception of the MK I-III, I dislike their Semi-Autos. I really like the 10/22 (three of them in the safe) and the Mini-14 is a fun gun.

    Their revolvers are built like tanks but the triggers are creepy, and usually heavy right out of the box.

    quote:"no honest man needs more than 10 rounds in his gun."

    The problem is that this statement is interpreted wrong. He didn't mean that we sould be limited to 10 rounds........... he mean't any honest man "should be able to get the job done" with 10 rounds!!!!!![:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

    It's just being spun the wrong way.[:D]
