Old School Ad. Ruger vs SW

[Durango Slim]

This is a ridiculous argument, since no one shoots a revolver without the side plate on.

A properly fit side plate is going to offer just as much rigidity as the one piece Ruger body

I find it interesting that people say investment castings crack and don't stretch. Thompson/Center Contenders frames are investment castings. I have seen several stretched but never have I seen one that cracked.
