As a huge fan of the ROA, I have commented on that gun many times. But I would like to take this occasion and explain why I became such a fan. In my youth, I purchased a poorly made Italian replica of a Colt caplock revolver. Big mistake. That gun was so inaccurate that it nearly soured me to BP shooting. But I later purchased an Old Army and found it could shoot as accurately as The Lone Haranguer asserted. This restored my waning interest in BP shooting.
If my previous postings supporting the ROA have appeared a bit strident at times, it is because that Ruger model proved vastly superior to the Italian caplock revolvers I had shot. No doubt, others here may have had similar experiences. I thought this thread would provide an appropriate place to explain my passions concerning this gun.

I bet this has Bill Ruger rolling over in his grave. Try to check prices on any model and it says "discontinued". I really never thought I would see this happen. I am glad I have a few to shoot and keep.
