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

So funny! A 2009 thread - but I'll post to it, just as others continue to do:

Early Bearcat
Early Single Six .22
Later Single Six .22 WMR
Service Six .357 Magnum, 4" barrel
Security Six .357 Magnum, 2.5" barrel
two Vaqueros, .45 Colt

Sold my 2 .44-40 Vaqueros.

Dad bought me a mini 14 for my first gun. I will always keep that. Otherwise, no thanks. I have an sp101 2.25 357 that I will probably post for sale.
 
I've got three;

4" GP100 SS .327 Magnum
4" GP100 SS .357 Magnum
6" GP100 Blued .357 Magnum

5.5" Redhawk (not Super) Blued .44 Magnum

Watch out if ever find a .357 or .41 Magnum Redhawk
 
Had a stainless GP .357 Magnum. Nice gun, but I hit the wall financially and sold it to a co-worker. I wish I still had it and the battered old Security Six that got away, but I can no longer shoot Magnum stuff anyway due to bad hands.
 
I've never been IN the closet with Ruger, as I think they are some of the most rugged and dependable revolvers made.

I worked for them for a short time in the late 1980's, and my Father recently retired from over 20 years with them.

Here are some of mine:



 
It's hard to follow a post like Wheely's, but I'll try. The 6" below (got a very good deal on GB) was bought to replace the first handgun I ever bought. I couldn't come to terms with the owner of that revolver so I bought this new one instead for less than it would cost me to get it back.

I have an SR9 and a Takedown 10/22...Wouldn't say I am a Ruger guy but they have been very high quality great shooters!!
 
I hate Ruger CF semi-autos and all DA revolvers. Way too ugly.

The M77 is OK. Really love the #1. Have an older 10/22 and like the Mannlicher style model. Have a Standard Model 22 made the year I was born and a Mk I made the year my wife was born.

No closet for me, I'm out and proud!

I've been shooting Rugers my entire life, and owned many before buying my first S&W. The trend in my collection shifted after that. I still like them, however.

I currently own two: A Mk.II Target, and a custom snub SRH in .44 Mag. The SRH has become one of my favorites, and it's in my top 3 most carried handguns. I work out in the woods one day a week, and it always goes with me.

Yep, I own a few as well. I have a MKII stainless slabside with a 6 7/8 barrel, 3 ruger American rifles in two different calibers, an SR9 and a 10/22 T with a laminated stock. I consider myself an equal opportunity gun owner. I am not in the closet about anything either.
 
Ruger makes a fine MK I and MK II I also the SP 101 , 10-22 old style.

Then the single actions are dandy.

I wish I had kept some of them.
Most have been traded for S&W of some sort.
I wish Ruger made a delux line.
 
I have a couple...

And it looks like I'll have one more because a super redhawk in .41mag with a 5.5in barrel walked into the local shop...
 
Let me see...

Blackhawk .357/.38/9mm convertible I've had for many years. Only the third handgun I ever bought. The first two are long gone.

The Blackhawk with Esmerelda cocobolo grips.

I think that's it.

Yeah, I'll admit it. Used to own a first year GP100 and a nice blued Single-Six. Still own a SBH with 10.5" bull barrel, .357 SP101 and a stainless 22/45. Got my eye on a 4 5/8" Blackhawk in 45Colt/45ACP in either blue or stainless but haven't pull the trigger on that purchase yet.
