Rugers are Ugly Tanks?

Like them all and all have been reliable. They look good too!

Sure and they last...so do Harleys...ugly, unrefined anachronistic tanks.

Sir, please do NOT compare my KP90DC to a Hoggly Fergusson. If I owned a Harley that old, it'd broken a lot more and I'd have to keep a drip pan under it in the garage.

I have a blocky p89, and I love it. It's heavy, durable, and easy to clean. It's more accurate than I'll ever be, and even though I bought it second-hand, I expect my grandkids will be firing it.

It's one of my paranoid TEotWAWKI pieces. My two best friends each have a P95, so we have about 15 magazines between us

I have much more refined guns, but I have more Rugers than any other brand.

I LIKE tanks. No better way to keep riff raff out of your neighborhood.

If anything, the technology developed by Ruger is MORE refined than the age-old manufacture using forgings.

Castings might not have the ultimate edge in test to destruction, but the guns, any of them, are over-built, no matter the manufacturer.

The amount of difference in casting vs. forging isn't nearly as much as alluded to, either.

Besides, too many of those purportedly "more refined" guns now come chock full of MIM parts, polymer parts, and two-piece barrels, with a "gasp" cast outer cover.

Ruger has developed the SR series, which is much lighter in mass. Funny thing, though, they are still using cast slides. One would think that they would have the failures promised by the forged bunch, wouldn't you?

 

[PabloJ]

It makes little difference to me whether slide is cast or forged. One thing is for sure I would not want to face someone with duty size Ruger in hand.

Here's my ugly tank. It's been around the block a time or two and probably good for a few more trips.

I think they are really ugly when they are pointed at you , and you can bet that it is going to work ! Kevin
