I don't know much about AR's I haven't really gotten into them because I don't have a use for them so I don't have an opinion on the new gun although it looks nice. I would like to see an SR45 without a thumb safety and in the same size frame as the SR9.
I do have an opinion on people flaming Ruger for the recalls though. At least they manned up and fixed the problems. Oh wait that's right, there weren't really "true" problems. I don't remember there being function issues at all. They fixed a trigger on the SR9 because they said it "could" fire if dropped and the same for the LCP's hammer. I don't remember this actually happening to anyone. Maybe if the guns didn't work and were a bunch of lemon's I'd have a different view but they're not. I'm blown away by how many people are complaining about a company standing behind it's product, customers, and the safety of both. Get over it. Oh yeah, Bill Ruger is dead. I echo, Get over it.
