Correct, I've purchased stock in Ruger but I don't own a Ruger gun, I'm leaning toward a wheel gun as I currently do not own a revolver

Ruger: must be one of the most wide-spread and well known brands. I think most people have fired either the 10/22 or one of the MK* pistols.
If it was me I would take the pistol, I have fired various Ruger pistols in South Africa and the US and enjoy them. Can't have those in the UK but we have many 10/22s and their variants. I have a Rimfire Magic which is great with a suppressor.

You know how opinions are, so, this is worth what you paid for it.
In my opinion, for a carry gun, the lcrx is ok, but is a little snappy with full power .38 loads, fine for SD, but, after a few cylinders at the range it can wear on you. The sp101 is steel and is more shootable, the only thing I didn't like is the DA only trigger on the spurless model 357 I had - if I were to buy another it would have a hammer.
For a bigger gun, the gp100 as I said is my favorite, if I could only have one revolver that is the one I would keep. There are others as well, blackhawk in single action, redhawk DA/SA, and many folks love the Vaquero for a "cowboy" gun.
YMMV

This Single Six is how I got my start with Ruger revolvers 62 years ago. Still solid, locks up tight and shoots better than I do.

Old picture of a couple of favorites. 4-inch GP100, 2.25-inch SP101.
Here is what the SP looks like now.

With all of the aftermarket parts and accessories available, Ruger 10-22s are like the “Barbie Dolls” of the gun world. And as far as I’m concerned, they’re reasonably priced, reliable, accurate and handy as all get out.

A note on Ruger customer service, at the last field striping & cleaning I put the firing pin return spring support back in upside down, (OOPS) in my MK1 target, during this cleaning I noticed it was damaged. I called Ruger about it and they sent me a new one FREE OF CHARGE !!!...hdbiker

I've owned quite a few Rugers in my life. .22,38spl,.357mag,.44mag revolvers all sold/traded. Currently an all metal SS 10-22, SS 77 in .308, ss 43/4 standard and Competition Target. I used to think "I can let this one go, Rugers are easily replaceable" except now they're not. Joe

SR1911 is a fine gun as are the GP100s. Each of my examples are approaching or are north of 15k and have shown zero issues.

Hey....I'll betcha it runs those Rough Riders off your range! Again...GET THE BLACK ONE; for unknown reasons of variables-unknown that seem to MAKE NO SENSE the black examples are more-often-than-not reported to be good shooters right out of the box when the other colors need their sights messed with.

If my life depended on a .22 rifle, there is no substitute for a 10/22 I can think of at any price point. Feed good old CCI Mini-mags (or Velocitors, if you can find them) from a specific-weapon-tested, proven magazine and you will not go wrong.

I think a 4" GP100 would serve you well.

i did that a few yrs ago and ended up selling with a 33% loss. it was just too volatile. the dividend used to be 40% of any earnings gets distributed to shareholders( fixed payout ratio) so the dividends go up and down too depending on the gun business and gun climate is at the time.
to keep this gun related, i did end up buying more guns during that time of selling. as i told the salesman, might as well buy actual guns with me losing the money.( i don't consider buying guns an investment, mind you, i just have never bought a gun as expensive as what i have lost in the stock) i harvested the tax loss and redeployed the money elsewhere where it grew better.
it made me decide to stay away from stocks that were too politically sensitive and discretionary. i say buy the guns not the company but that is just me.
