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.
 
.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.
 
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.

Single Six, .22 standard auto, .22 bull barrel, Blackhawk .45 Colt/.45 acp, Vaquero .45 Colt, Vaquero stainless .45 Colt, 10/22 blue/walnut, 10/22 stainless/synthetic, Mini 14 blue, Mini 14 stainless--Ruger is good. :)
 
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!

I like Rugers, just don't own any. Bid on a SP101 at a local auction last week, but got out bidded. I wouldn't mind having a couple of New Vaqueros in .357 if I could get them for a decent price.
 
Then there is the original Flatgate....those that know, will figure out the Holster maker...:D

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?

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
 
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!

You're killing me! Everytime I see one of those pics, I cringe! I know you are probably real careful, but I still cringe!
