Sir, I've owned a fair number of Rugers over the years, none right now. Kinda like to have another Super Blackhawk.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

I guess I am... I have a very early Single Six and an Old Model Blackhawk in .357. Oh yeah, a Lipsey .44 Special should be arriving this week.

JOERM · #5 08-01-2009, 06:01 PM

.480 Ruger Red Hawk, hand gun of the year for two years.

Mini 14 with Tapco stock, really cool.

Ruger Single Six .17 cal. Wife killed mean rooster with it.

shortranger · #6 08-01-2009, 06:04 PM

Nothing closet about it, Giz. I'm perfectly proud to wave my Rugers around on the range. I'm still a big fan of my Charger. I might even consider getting another (if I could find an early one with the metal trigger group) and gussying it up some.

Wheelgunner840 · #13 08-01-2009, 06:11 PM

My Rugers are the work horses in the stable. I have no problem showing them off at the range. The huge scoped .44 mag. Super Redhawk gets lots of attention!

DGNY · #14 08-01-2009, 06:21 PM

Funny - The answer is "oh, yes..." But no closet. Proud of them and they do ME proud!

Texas Star · #15 08-01-2009, 06:40 PM

I got 'em. I like 'em. GP-100, SP-101, MK II .22, bull barrel version.

Had to sell my stainless Super Blackhawk some years ago. May replace it. It was very accurate, and the recoil was less than with a Smith DA revolver in .44 Magnum.

Rugers are often more durable than S&W's, if less refined. However, they have recently closed that gap a lot, and S&W has The Lock, so I'm not buying any new S&W's.

It is noteworthy that Ruger seems to be the only revolver brand other than S&W that has gathered large police and military contracts in recent times. That speaks well of them!

T-Star

ladder13 · #16 08-02-2009, 09:48 AM

Sold the only Ruger I ever owned, a 50th Ann SS. Might pick up a 3 inch GP 100 if I could find one.

S&W-Keeper · #17 08-01-2009, 10:49 PM

OK, gulp! I do have a Security Six that I bought unfired with box and papers late last year. Man, I feel better now.I have even admitted to owning a couple of .380's.Fessing up really does help. I also own a rifle in .243, and I have 6 or 7 Smith and Wesson revolvers with the lock.This is getting better. I even had a revolver refinished about two years ago.

samIam · #18 08-02-2009, 12:38 AM

I had rugers before S&Ws,now I'm addicted to both.
10-22 SS
Mini-14 ranch blued

Smilin-buddha · #22 08-04-2009, 09:48 AM

I do have a 22 caliber Ruger pistol
And I did soem computer work for a guy this weekend and he gave me a Ruger 10/22. But I am a Smith guy at heart

got a Security Six in 357 magnum

and a 9mm Speed Six

rock doc · #28 12-11-2009, 07:23 PM

My only Ruger is this 10/22 I optimized last summer. It's a fun shooter.

mark b · #29 12-11-2009, 07:28 PM

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

feralmerril · #30 12-11-2009, 07:29 PM

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.

loknload · #31 12-11-2009, 07:35 PM

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................

Beauetienne · #32 12-11-2009, 07:54 PM

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:

normanvin · #33 01-01-2010, 08:20 AM

I have been a fan for years. My collection includes 10/22's, 44 magnums, 357 magnums, 9mm, .22. mark IIs, even have 454.

bgrafsr · #34 01-02-2010, 05:04 AM

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

raveneap · #35 02-01-2010, 11:34 AM

No closet - after SW my Rugers come first.
MK III, New Vaquero, Vaquero, Single Six. All fine guns.

gizamo · #36 08-01-2009, 06:32 PM

Then there is the original Flatgate....those that know, will figure out the Holster maker...

ecam8000 · #37 08-01-2009, 06:35 PM

Yea, count me in for a dozen or so.

6GUNSONLY · #38 08-01-2009, 06:37 PM

yeah, I got a few... quite a few. Actually outnumber S&Ws. Mostly old model Blackhawks. Giz, is that a 7 1/2" flattop .44? I have one that length. My favorite sixgun, hands-down.

P.S. Myers?

Wheelgunner840 · #39 08-01-2009, 06:40 PM

Wheelgunner, those guns on rocks pics that Giz puts up does the same thing to me. But, you have to hand it to him ..... he takes great pics. (Giz don't get the "big head" from the pic compliment).

Zilmo · #42 08-01-2009, 06:52 PM

No closets for me or my Rugers. I'm quite proud of them.

From left, a Security Six .357, a rather rare Redhawk in .357, an LCP with the CT laser, a GP 100 .357, and a Single Six .22.

CH47gunner · #43 08-01-2009, 07:00 PM

Only have two, at the moment. Had several more and would not hesitate to purchase another. Especially an older single six.

Here are my only two Rugers.

It is, and if I may...you should register yours with Chad Pennington over on the Ruger forum...if it is a unknown gun. They are rare birds...

one eye joe · #47 08-01-2009, 06:39 PM

I'M A RUGER GUY ! ! (not embarassed to shout it) I only own 2 but they are both great. I have a 9 1/2" New Model Single Six that is chambered in .22LR / .22 WRM. It was mfg in 1979--is a mint blue & walnut beauty that is a tack-driver, esp in .22Mag. I also own a Mark II Government Target Model. It was mfg in 1986, has a 6 7/8" Bull Barrel, was created to meet US Military specs for match grade pistols and was chosen as the standard target and training handgun of the US Armed Forces. This is the "competition-grade" version of the Ruger autoloader line. It's in walnut & Blue also. It carries an Aimpoint, and is loaded up with Volquartsen parts. I've been shooting this one in a Small Bore Pistol League for over 20 yrs (very successfully) against S&W Model 41's, High Standards, Walthers and a coupla Hamerliis. Sooo, that's it. I'm glad to have this dark secret off my chest..............one eye joe

Joni_Lynn · #48 08-01-2009, 08:00 PM

I probably have one or two Rugers to keep my one or two S&W's company. (Maybe a Colt as well)

I'm like Joni-Lynn... I have one...

just to keep the S&W company!
