I have to agree with your opinions. I have fired thousands of rounds through my Ruger Mk-II without problems. But I shot a used H&R 9? series handgun until something broke and it wouldn't fire anymore. A local gunsmith repaired it, but it never fired reliably again. Still, I was able to get $100.00 worth of credit for it when I traded it for a Rossi Model 720. That H&R was fun, and cheap, but it was no where in the same league as a Ruger or S&W.

Best regards,

Dave
