Soooo, how many of you are "Closet" Ruger guys....????

[RobertJ.]

I posted about a year and a half ago, and showed the two that I owned at the time (and still do). Shortly after, I bought this, and it soon became my favorite rifle:

Wow, my last post in this thread was in 2009 . . . I've picked up at least two more Rugers since then.

 

[Bobbysixkiller]

All my rugers are single action. Except my 10/22 carbine.

I got a few GP's around the house. They are an impressive gun.

I bought a LCR .327 for wife's Xmas prez. Brand new gun, right out of the box the trigger jams.

Snapshots : Photo

When I compare the fit and finish of the Smith to Ruger, the Smith is best. Even when the LCR does not jam the action feels rough. After the LCR fiasco I'm done with LCR Rugers. I bought my wife a Smith. I don't want her using the LCR. When it is fixed I will dump it. (.327 LCR is heavy as well. Maybe 4 oz over the .38 LCR.)

I have an Old Army, a couple of there 22 auto pistols, a light weight commander 1911 of theirs. Have had several single actions and security sixes in the past. Rifles, a 77s in 223, 6mm and 338 and a mini 14.

Came late to the party but am trying to catch up.....

I have to come out too. My Rugers sit happily in my safe next to my Smiths. My kids 10-22's, my mini 30, 44 redhawk 7.5", 97DC, and some missing from the photo: a security six and. 30 carbine Blackhawk.

I have owned several over the years, but went a long time without. About a year ago I got a stainless .357/9mm Blackhawk convertible and am trying to get adjusted to single actions again.

I've owned a bunch of Ruger's in my time. Most were 22's, at one time I had a half
dozen 10/22's, and a couple of 77/22's, plus another half dozen Ruger 22 handguns.
I've also owned three or four blackhawks, a Super Blackhawk, a Vaquero in 45 Colt
(the old Vaquero), and a couple/three Speed/Security-Sixes.

I've only got four now. A Wally-World Special 10/22, and a Single-Six 50th anniversary 22,
and a P95DC, 9mm Semi.

And, my most recent is a LC9s, 9mm compact. Man that is a nice gun. GREAT trigger.
LGS had them on sale dirt cheap last week. They had the raspberry/pink frame, but I
didn't care about that. About 100 rounds without a hitch.

The Six series revolvers were everything the S&W K frame .357 should have been. Designed from the ground up to shoot .357, unlike the k frame .357's that were souped up .38's and not true .357. You can shoot .357 exclusively in a Six revolver with no worries. While they aren't as pretty as a Smith, being able to completely disassemble a Ruger with a dime if that's all you have is a big plus. As much as I love my Smith's, the Service Six I have would be the last revolver I would sell. L frame toughness in a K framed sized gun.

Rugers: I own/have owned a number of them over the years, my first 3 handguns were Rugers. Fine serviceable,strong,accurate guns. Not the fancy finish of a S&W or Colt, but they get the job done. Same goes for their long guns.

When the GP100 was first introduced I liked it. I was new to shooting at that time and had just bought a 6" 686-1. I considered trading the 686 for a GP but just couldn't do it. My 686 had a much better trigger than the GPs. After 30 some odd years and adding several S&Ws to the herd I finally bought a 4" GP100 this year. In its own way the GP is a great gun. I still have the 686 and its trigger is still better but there is something about that blocky GP that I like. It's not as elegant as a Smith but has its own charm.

My wife has a SS .357 Blackhawk that her dad always had available on the farm. It's a great sidearm for that purpose.

My brother left me another blued .357 Blackhawk and a 77RSI in .30-06.

Here are a couple of my favorite Rugers. On top, an old model Ruger Super Blackhawk, made near the end of production, and an old model Flattop with factory stag grips. Both in .44 magnum, of course.
