Have an old(like new condition) Standard with 6 inch barrel and a much better trigger than most of the new ones. Also a NIB 10-22 Deluxe Sporter I bought about 10 years ago. Had(sorry I still don't have) a very early .357 Blackhawk.

I have a slightly customized 10/22 and a little 32 Mag birdshead.

My two Rugers

44 Redhawk


10-22 Target

phenson,

One of my absolute favorite's is the .32 Mag birdshead. Prolly the most accurate fixed sight gun I own. I hotrodded the loads for it, going over to better brass...and am amazed at this little passed over caliber.

They make a fine field gun for potting rabbits and other game for a camp stew pot....

The gun convinced me that it is second only to the .45 Long Colt in usefulness....

In addition to the .308 M77 I posted a couple pages back....

I also have four 10/22 rifles...three standard carbines and a NIB "Wally World 10/22" stainless rifle with 22" barrel.

A 1974 "Standard Automatic Pistol".

A 50th Anniversary Mark II...NIB.

And, my 4" blued GP-100.

I guess that makes eight Rugers...unless I'm forgetting any.

100+ but all are mostly rifles of some sort plus a few shotguns.

More #1s than anything else 50+

Grew up with and carried S&Ws all my life. I did own one Ruger SA in 44 Special but I just can't get that rotate in the hand under full recoil stuff to work for me. I prefer the straight back recoil of the S&W frame.

I do own one SA but it's a Cimarron Thunderer in 44 Special and the grip frame is close to the S&W and the recoil comes straight back.

NO pics but I have an old vaquero 45LC , Ivory grips , real shinney , and real PURDY !!!

No closet owner here, I own several and will always own Ruger single action revolvers.
The 10/22's are just down right fun.
I will admit to not owning any double action revolvers or semi-autos. I've had them but didn't like them enough to keep them.

heres one great shooter

Doesn't everyone own at least one, heck I own three.

I have these three. A model 77 7x57 made in 1980, A single six from 1959, and a .32 H&R mag single six from 1985. Some have escaped me, even a old .256 mag hawkeye.

My first handgun was a New Model Blackhawk .357, have carried that one hunting for many years. My second was a MkII with the 10" bull barrel and now my third was the .380 LCP.
My only mistake was that when I bought the Blackhawk I didn't get the 9mm cylinder for it. The shop owner at the time had no use for 9mm and talked me out of it! I was young and stupid, what can I say!

Regards,
LnL................

I currently have a 10/22 that I'm turning into a 100 yard rifle.

Also, I recently fell in love with this little 32 Magnum:

I own a old Super Black Hawk that is beat near to death. Looks like it has been used to drive nails and fix barbwire fence. Also a 10-22.

I look forward to purchasing a 77/44 and a Super Red .44.

I have a buddy in Arkansas that has my next dear rifle for me. A gift. He wont tell me what it is. But I'm hoping a 77/44.

i have only 1 and that's just because smith doesn't make a 30 carbine pistol, preferably with an 8 3/38 bbl on an l-frame would be great.

Some of mine..Security Six in 6", 4" and 2.75 inch as well as a couple of old Vaqueros and a couple of good old 10-22's. Oh yea, and an old mini14.
They are solid.

The first "Big bore"I ever shot.Come on,What's not to like with an early model Blackhawk .44 mag?
My Dads with some hot loads.Hooked ever since.

Merry Christmas D.G.

Really can't think of anything negative to say about any Ruger that I had a chance to play with.

I have half a dozen. This is my latest. I bought it for $425 at a gunshow 3 weeks ago, guy had a hard luck story. It had a broken rear sight. I sent it to Ruger and a week later a new one appeared in my mailbox with the pictured invoice. Not many companies would do that for a 20 year old gun. Joe

Wisdom chases me; I'm faster

I've owned three.

Super Blackhawk: strong and accurate. No complaints, but I just decided single action wasn't for me. Sold it, never missed it.
Mini-14: super reliable, easy to maintain. Accuracy left a lot to be desired especially after the barrel heated up. Again, sold and never missed it.

77R, .30-06: this is an older one with the tang safety (where a hunting rifle safety really should be IMHO). Smooth, accurate and has accounted for a pile of deer. It's staying.

Got a couple: Two .357 flat-tops, two .44 flat-tops, OM .357 converted to .44 Spl, OM .41, two OM .45s (one convertible), OM Super Blackhawk, and a five shot .45 Redhawk conversion.

Here's my thing: Ruger single actions, S&W double actions, and Colt semi-autos.

Altho I'm a S&W guy I do own some Rugers. A 10-22, P-95 9MM now but had a Bearcat from 1958 # A-17X. First .22 pistol I ever had was a standard model with Red Eagle grips.

No Closet Ruger guy here either, I own over a dozen of them, Rifles and Single Action Revolvers... I think there will be a few more in my future....

i have a ruger blackhawk and a mark 2, and both are very quality pistols that i enjoy shooting with my best friend. its not uncommon for both of us to shoot a brick on a nice afternoon. very nice plinking guns, accurate and cheap to feed!

Here are three of mine......yes I have others.

I will actually grab this before my 41

I have two. One is a flat top 50th anniversary model in 44 mag and the other is the 44 spl Lipsey model with 4 5/8" barrel. I like them very much in the flat top version as they are a little slimmer and more attractive to me. Besides I wanted something to hot rod and what better than a Ruger, which can take it over and over and over.
The wife got me a CHRISTmas present for the Lipsey model; an El Paso Saddlery belt, holster and cartride carrier in their deluxe floral carved pattern. Oh yeah, the holster is the Tom Threeperson model. WOW , talk about being the man. I am him. I like the Rugers though I am not much for Single Actions. But these two are some kind of accurate.

I'm a Ruger guy too. Got a bunch.

That's a real sweet Bearcat.

Ruger 10/22 standard


Yes S&W is my 1st choice...But them rugers will grow on ya.

I'm a Ruger fan also. It's darn hard to wear one out. Both handguns and long guns, while some are not thoroughbreds, they are all work horses.

Smiths and Rugers,What else does a guy need.

i've owned a few others over the years that im ashamed to say ive let go of, but the current roster of Rugers includes:
*.357 1976 edition 4.5/8 stainless blawkhawk
*.44mag blackhawk 5.5 inch stainless
*.45 colt blackhawk 4.5/8 stainless
*10.22 modified with volquartsen guts and bull barrell and fajen stock.
*stainless mk11 .22 that was won at a NRA dinner of 750 as marked on the barrell
* 44 carbine no warning label on barrel
* 358 win tang safety M77.

ifin i could ever find a RSI in .308 or .358 id jump on it. i have passed on some beautys No1's though

Two 10/22s and four single action revolvers. And for Christmas my son bought me a coffee table book called Ruger: the man and his guns (or something like that). Interesting readihng.

I have two Ruger Model 77-V's in .22-250 & .308 Win, plus these:

I am not in the closet at all. I'll tell anyone that I like them. Most all of mine are pre ban sidefolding Mini 14s though. Here are pics of two of them. That is my "hang up" but I have others.

There have been many Rugers in my safe. Started with a standard model 22 Red Eagle in 1954. No, I don't have it anymore. Then a couple 357 SA's & in 1958 I bought the first Bearcat I saw. #A1xx. No, don't have that one either. Now down to a 10-22 & a P-95. I like 'em.

My first handgun was a Ruger Single Six convertable (22LR and 22Mag) with a 6.5 inch barrel. Still have it and love plinking with it.

I followed it up with Ruger Blackhawk convertable (45LC and 45acp) with a 5.5 inch barrel. Still have it and love plinking with it.

Then I bought my favorite Ruger, a Red Label O/U 12 gauge shotgun with 26in barrels. My favorite pheasant buster.

Ruger makes a fine gun, not as polished as the S&Ws but certainly functional enough.

There are two single-action Rugers in the closet, and a single-action Colt. They're outnumbered by the double-action Smiths.

To my surprise I have more sturm ruger wheelguns than smith&wesson wheelguns 48 to 45 the smiths take the cake on age 1898 model 3 vs 1953 blackhawk there something about the noise a 3 screw makes when you pull the hammer back

Nothing wrong with a Ruger. I have had many over the years. Currently own a Red Label, 10-22, Ruger Standard and my wife carries a LCR now.

Won't bother with a pic, but when I started buying guns again just over two years ago, the first thing I picked up was a slab-side Ruger Mk III competition. Nice gun, but no more accurate than any of the K-22s I have picked up since and a lot tougher to disassemble and clean.

The next one I bought was a new 629, and I haven't left the S&W reservation since.
