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.
Ruger started to play footsie with the Clinton’s in the 90s, you may recall. Whatever percentage of firearms the feral gummint buys the manufacturers soon learn We by the rest. Sort of like the GOP dissing it’s base, do so at peril.
