. . . list ones that you love and are devoted to by buying their products almost exclusively.
Also, why does everyone hate Ruger?

By vindictive do you mean ignorant? Because these are the same people who say that polymer blows up in your hand. And think that computers on cars were a bad thing.Also, Ruger began using investment casting at a time when the process was associated with cheapness. Again, time and experience have demonstrated that investment casting is an excellent process for making firearms, but shooters can be a vindictive lot...

Along with that I don't see anything that he built was in any way "great"
A little information goes a long way. They stopped doing the wood panel inserts because Ruger's long-time grip manufacturer went out of business. They still make blued GP's. They're starting to get wood single action grips from Altamont but the only source for DA grips that folks would be willing to pay for is Hogue.I'm a little displeased that they stopped making the GP100 with a blued finish and wood grip panels...
Well put. Of the two dozen or so Rugers I have owned over the last 35 years,none had any issues that amounted to anything and all had very acceptable accuracy.Bottom line is that folks have their prejudices, some based in reality, some not, and are VERY unwilling to let them go.
It should also be remembered that when he took those positions they were VERY WIDELY HELD among gun owners and conservatives in general.
Uniformly very good? That's a pretty sweeping statement, wouldn't you say?
