Not much of a closet guy myself but I do have a few and they get brought to the range as much as the rest. Matter of fact All my guns see the range @ the same time seeing as how my main range is in the back yard.

Mark 2 bull barrel
Redhawk with 7 1/2" barrel wearing a 2 power Leupold
10/22 fixin to get a facelift.
Mini 14 in an Archangel stock

No hiding it here either.
I am a rimfire nut and ruger makes some fine ones.
Single-six .22lr/wmr
Mark II standard
First year Mod 77/22 is my first rifle was given to me on my 15 birthday.
2 10-22s
One of the 10-22s was gift to my dad from mom when he made his last trip back from Vietnam. I might be homeless living in a box on skid row, this one will never leave me.

Yeah, I've had a few Rugers over the years. The only ones I have now is an LCP 380, LC9s, a super single six, a 10/22 and a American rifle in 22 magnum. I almost bought a 77/44 stainless rifle the other day but decided I didn't need it and bought a M&P performance center 9mm shield instead. Glad I did.

 

[Frank237]

The only Ruger I have owned and been happy with was a 10/.22 gopher slayer I had for several years.

Otherwise simply not a Ruger fan.

 

[Joe Hohmann]

I have a Super Blackhawk Bisley .44mag, which is primarily for target work. I've only shot .44 specials with it.

 

[Drm50]

Back in 60s when I was a teenager and didn't know any better
was into Ruger SAs. Was still a Ruger cheerleader until the new
model. Same with Ruger long guns, I have several older ones,
but not interested in any new Rugers. Love the old ones. Brother
Bill is probably spinning in his grave with the quality of the new
ones. You can tell by pics, this was clear back from Black & white
era.

 

[TomkinsSP]

Mk 1 and pre Mk 1. Deadly accurate pair.

 

[ParadiseRoad]

...I have always admired their tough...heavy duty revolvers...I have two Super Blackhawks...a Blackhawk in 45 Colt...would like to add a Redhawk to the collection...blue with a 5 inch barrel would be nice...also have a Mini 14...

 

[arjay]

I've owned a super blackhawk,single six,an ultralight rifle in 243 and just sold a mark III target.Still own a 77/17,early standard and an early Mark I Target.
I couldn't afford Winchesters and S&W back in the day and Rugers are a good value.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

On second thought, I would buy a 10-22.
And maybe a Blackhawk, 357 shorter barrel.

 

[Jdavis]

I have owned many Rugers over the years but never found one that I could really bond with and usually sold or traded them away. A few years ago, I happened on a GP100 Royal Phoenix that caught my eye and I bought it. It is bright blue with polished hammer and trigger unlike the standard GP. I think that this one will be a keeper.

 

[PPS1980]

We own 3 Rugers, none of them wheel guns. I've owned a MkII target pistol for nearly 30 years. Its a tack driver and I'll never part with it. I have an LCP for deep concealment where even the 442 is too bulky. I just bought my daughter a 10/22 Stainless Steel takedown model that is threaded. She is enjoying learning the ways of the rifle with it.

 

[NYlakesider]

Well, I have said for years dollar for dollar you cannot beat Ruger guns.

I have had a few over the years, and still have a few in the safe.

Got my first one in 1972, when the peoples republic of NY gratuitously allowed me to own a pistol, In that era trying to get your hands on a good S&W (new or used) was difficult so I gave up trying and bought the then new Security Six. (4'' adjustable sights .357) which by now has had a heck of a lot of shots run threw it, many of them full power.

Same reason a couple years later wanted a .44M but getting your hands on one after Dirty Harry came out was impossible unless you wanted to pay a "premium" (Like close to double price)

Bought a Ruger Super Black hawk and believe it or not I had master pistol smith Austin Behlert do a trigger job on it when he was at our club during a big statewide match. I was a RO for the event

Have a early 7722 (Very accurate), had a 7722M and a 7717 and a 7mm Mag . Also have a nice 44M semi auto from the 70s, a 1022, and the first stainless Mini 14 to hit the Albany area way back when..
Now carrying a LCR in .38 and really like it.

My S&W and Rugers set side by side in the safe and never argue, they play well together!

 

[Highhawk1948]

I have some old models and one new model Super Blackhawk. Carry them more than I do my S/W snubby.

 

[Talldog]

Actually, I'm a closet S&W guy (Shield 9). I only own the one Smith, although it is my EDC, but my wife and I own six Rugers between us.

 

[gnystrom]

The OP's question led me to do some math. I just discovered I have more Rugers than S&W's.

 

[Telecaster]

I have had lots of Rugers. Still have a 10/22 and 5 Ruger Revolvers. I have as many Smiths now as Rugers.

 

[HARDWARE]

Hate em. They look like they were made in a high school metal shop class.

I do however own a MKII bull barrel and a 77/22

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

Just one - so far!
