I disagree. IMHO, the Ruger takes the best of the lightweight j-frame guns and ups the ante by three: (1) it's very light - like Smith unobtanium weight - with (2) a very user-friendly trigger and grip and (3) at an affordable price that the average working man can afford. That was Bill Ruger's goal: a gun that a working man can afford over a couple paychecks (don't remember where I saw him quoted as saying that, but I know it was in one of my magazines). IMHO, they accomplished the goal and made it unique by making it with polymer.This, to me, is just another revolver no one needs.
This, to me, is just another revolver no one needs. I already think these ultra snubs are snubbier than they need to be and I hope the Ruger doesn't saw too much off the barrel. A 3-inch barrel would be perfect. (Some of the ultra-light revolvers with 1.5-inch barrels are ridiculous and serve little purpose in concealment.) Being a polymer-hybrid revolver, I'm also expecting the price to be reasonable, but maybe that's too much to hope for now that Bill Ruger is no longer around.
Has anyone tested this new 38 snub nose by RUGER?
