You are wrong on Ruger,,,,,they sell a crapload of both handguns and rifles.
LCP is the ideal concealed carry
The P series has been popular for 20 years at least
10/22 is a staple of any gun collection
Mini 14 and Mini 30 are popular “ranch rifles”
Finally, the SR-556 is just an amazing gun.
Ruger sells a lot of guns. As of late, they have been able to keep up with demand.
The companies you listed are fine gun makers, but they don’t have the economies of scale that Ruger enjoys with its volume. Ruger is very profitable.
I meant:
“As of late, they have been UNable to keep up with demand.”
I love my SP-101 .357
Built like a tank, if I run out of rounds I’ll just beat them to a pulp with it.
