I own several SW .22s all Js with one exceptin and love them all for different reasons. I handled the Ruger and just couldn't get past the size and weight. If it is being sold as a "kit gun" its size is a deal breaker (for me). Then again, if Ruger offered it up in a 2" version I would certainly be way more interested in plunking down the coin for one. Otherwise, I'll just stick with my little SW J-frame kit guns and if I need something a bit larger, just grab my Pre-18.
