Mr Ruger got the message we sent, lo those many years ago.
I have 6 pistols and one rifle from there. Every one a masterpiece IMO. Their SR1911s are the best on the market as far as I’m concerned for a standard product.
I’ve also got a few $1000+ weapons from Colt, and some very expensive revolvers from S&W in a variety of flavors. There is no comparison of these with the Rugers.
