And that's Ruger's fault???
nope just the sorry state of manufacturing and I learned my lesson and don’t sell anymore.
And that's Ruger's fault???
The wife's bedside comforter is a 4(.2) stainless sp101. It fits her and with a bit of trigger work she runs it well. Can't argue with that. IMHO out of the box Rugers have crappy triggers that were built to go bang EVERY time.
As mentioned above if you wanna see "hate" talk Taurus. Yeah, I have one of those too. I have not found anything to hate yet.
After reading some current and archived threads why is there such a distaste for Ruger revolvers?
I've read some of the gripes about Bill Ruger. Then I think to myself, "An American business man that kept his company in America."
The Wife bought me one of them Ruger's many years ago. It was used and a screw fell out of it one day. Found a number on the internet to call and a very nice lady from Ruger sent me out a brand new screw at no charge.
That's all I got to say about that.
Good luck and stay safe,
Mike
My gp100, sp101, and lcr are not only better guns than their Smith counterparts, but also cheaper.
Which probably has more to do with S&W's faster action than anything else.There was 1 Ruger and about 250 S&W's in the International Revolver Championships this year.
What are their other choices???You really believe that over 99% of them would choose equipment that was not the best available?
Given the cost-cutting going on at S&W, I find it laughable to compare Rugers to HiPoints and such high praise for S&W.The reason you don't see many is the same reason that you don't see many Highpoints at the IDPA or IPSC championships. They're OK for the money, but not competitive performance-wise at the top levels.
Same as everybody else's, sometimes not very good.How are the .45 Colt specs, CraigC?
How do you figure? In particular, I've got two $400 Rugers that shoot into 2"@50yds. You're picking two extreme examples. IMHO, way too much has been made about Ruger's bore size on the Single Six. Do we really think that 0.001" makes that much difference? Their reputation for less than stellar accuracy probably has more to do with the way they cut their chambers than anything else. These were never meant to be target guns and should not be expected to shoot alongside K-22's and Colt Officer's Models. That said, mine shoot under 1½"@25yds with preferred loads.In essence Rugers SA's in oarticular, are expensive for what they are.

Feelings? No. At least I do not throw out such "evidence" without looking at "why". The why is S&W's action and faster trigger return. Period. Doesn't have a damn thing to do with quality or performance and you should know this.I prefer to base my opinions on documented performance rather than feelings.
Indeed....talk and internet bandwidth is cheap!

We're not talking about centerfires and cast bullets, smart guy. Again, what is your problem??? Are we talking about guns or are we getting personal???Yeah, there's no real reason for slugging your bore and sizing your lead bullets to fit .001 oversize. Maybe you can get in touch with Dardas, Missouri Bullet co, etc, and let them know that your vast knowledge has determined that they don't really need to offer all those sizing options.
Apples and oranges. I'm sure you've rebarreled Single Sixes to find they shoot vastly better than before?No problem here. Just wondering how a bullet knows whether it's a centerfire or rimfire?

The most obvious answer would be because the end user can't change a Single Six barrel with screwdriver and an allen wrench. Changing the barrel on any revolver that is not a Dan Wesson requires gunsmith intervention. The market is there and would be an easy chore for any of our competent gunsmiths. In your vast intellectual superiority over we pitiful Ruger shooters, you should know this. Most folks are just happy to blast tin cans with them. As evidenced by Ruger selling all they can make for the last SIXTY YEARS.I'm sure that if there was any reason to or market for it, there would be literally hundreds of different aftermarket suppliers of them, kind of like 10/22 barrels.
