So you have based the quality of Ruger firearms on what one former employee said a few years ago. Did he have facts to back that up? It seems you have based your facts on hearsay.Probably not, but I know for a fact the people at Ruger aren't either. I was told by a fmr. employee back in the post Sandy Hook panic that, at that time demand was so high, the supervisors told the workers that they needed to ship X amount of guns the next day and to let everything go, no matter if it met QC specs or not.
So, all the talk about how Ruger doesn't do 100% QC or has bad QC isn't the whole story, it's that they will knowingly ship guns with parts that are not good.
I work in manufacturing, they're a production facility. Each machine is dedicated to one or two parts.
But I guess that two videos and some reviews on the Wrangler don't hold as much truth as a former employee. You may have missed the photos of the two guns in one of the reviews. It was clear to see that Ruger has put more effort into the finish then Heritage does on their standard Rough Rider.
You complain about people bashing the Rough Rider, but at the same time you have bashed the hell out of Ruger. This may not have been your intent, but that's what you are doing.
There is a way to tell if you are coming across in a good way with your post. Look just below your text and see how many likes you get.
But then this topic was not about which gun was better. It's about the new Wrangler. you are the one that seems to have taken it personal and make this topic almost unpleasant.
I did state that the hammer block safety is what kept me from buying a Rough Rider. It's not the fact that it works, no one has stated otherwise. It's ugly and takes away from the classic lines of a SAA revolver. Someone felt that a few people didn't like the look of the safety and made a plug to clean up the look.
You also keep harping about Adj. sights and nine round cylinders. I don't think that is the market Ruger is shooting for. I feel that they are shooting for the Cowboy market. That would cover Cowboy Action shooting and those that just want to go play cowboy in the woods or at the range.
