I find the quality there in Ruger, just as was discussed last week regarding the Khunhausen statement. I recently bought a GP-100 5 inch 44 spl-took it to the range to dial it in today-marvelous gun-real pleasure to shoot-and the fit a finish is top notch, and compares with guns with much heavier price tags. Ironically, I took a M-10 no dash 6 inch (60+ yrs old?) with me that we are gifting to a friend, to check it out before we sent it-super accurate-shot 6 rounds and put it away-all close to the center with 1 bull-it made me look good! I thought of the Kuhnhausen article on this one as well. Add to that that Ruger arguably has the best service out there, bar none. JM2CW.
