Y'all keep buyin' them Rugers. Maybe someday my Ruger stock will show an increase.
Ruger makes great revolvers, but their autos are lackluster and forgettable.
Finally, Ruger offers a wider variety of firearms than any other manufacturer I can think of
If I buy another used Ruger DA revolver it would be an old half lug GP100 or another Six Series revolver. A couple years ago I saw a nice old GP100 half lug 357 for $425 locally. I've been kicking myself for not buying it and haven't seen another since.For me, I have always been a Smith & Wesson guy for Double Action revolvers but Ruger for Single Action revolvers. My recent experiences with S&W regarding their QC and QA are causing me to reevaluate things when it comes to “new” gun purchases. I have yet to own a Ruger DA revolver. I do believe it’s time to change that and give them a shot...pun intended.
For autoloaders I am a Glock guy.
I'm more a fan of S&W revolvers than Rugers but I do have my share of Rugers. My Rugers tend to be in some cartridge or configuration not available in an S&W revolver.
Ruger Mini 14's at the range. Mine is the stainless with the folded stock. The stock is worth more than the rifle. Not my favorite 223 rifle but it was pretty fun to shoot.

I, too prefer the half-lug look of the GP. The Ruger full lug profile doesn’t come close to the good looks of a Python or a 596/686. The Kimber revolver sort of copied the GP profile... I don’t know what it is, they just don’t do anything for me .If I buy another used Ruger DA revolver it would be an old half lug GP100 or another Six Series revolver.
