Just one but it's a goodun' SP101 in .357

 

[boneman]

I have 1, a Ruger P90 45, have ran 1,000's of rounds through it with no problems I swear it just seems to get better with time. Thanks Larry

I've owned a lot of Rugers except for the shotguns and the Number 1 and 3 rifles.
Didn't care for the 77, 77-22, 10-22, Speed-Six, Super BearCat or Single-Six. None of them shot well except for the Speed-Six, but it was a mechanical lemon.

Love the MKII and Standard models and most of the centerfire single actions.

Right now I'd love to get a New Vaquero (blue) in .357, but the only blue model has that tacky looking phoney case hardening on the frame. Yuck! Bring out a plain blue model and I'll be first in line.

I have a few and like them a lot.

Old model Super Blackhawk
Stainless Old Army
Single Six SSM in .32 H&R
Mini-14
Mini-30
10/22 with Douglass fluted stainless barrel and McMillan silhouette stock
No.1 in .375 H&H
77 in 7X57 Mauser - shot my first mule deer ever with this rifle

With just a little prodding I could be interested in a Blackhawk in .41 mag or .45 Colt.

I only have one lonely ruger hanging out with my S&W's. With all due respect to S&W, I have always felt that if you want a 22 you have to own at least one Ruger, a company started by building a 22 cal pistol.

Only one Ruger, but it's a honey! BTW, The Lounge on the Ruger Forum can't hold a candle to The Lounge here.

I just did a count - I currently have 29 of the critters. I especially favor the .22 pistols and the old model revolvers, although I have a few rifles as well. Here are some interesting ones from my group.

First, a Red Eagle standard 22, made in the first full year of production:

Next, one of the first 20 stainless Mark IIs:

I like classic Rugers ALMOST as much as I like classic S&Ws!

Next, an overrun of a Navy SEAL contract - stainless with a special blackened finish:

Not particularly rare, but interesting: an old Model Blackhawk in .30 carbine caliber:

An old model Super Blackhawk:

And an old model Blackhawk convertible .45 ACP/.45 Colt. One my favorites, it will shoot hell-for-leather loads in .45 Colt:

I've owned a Red Label and a Mod 77. Sold or traded them. All I have left now is a Mod 77 RSI .243 tack driver and a Super Single Six. I can see me owning a Bearcat and a New Model Vaquero in the not so distant future.

I've had several over the years, but never could really warm up to them. I do have a stainless 10/22 that works well, now that I've replaced almost every part in the trigger group. I also have an SP101 in .327 Federal that I bought to shoot .32 mags in. It's the first SP I've owned, and with Hogue grips, I actually like the feel of it. I had to do extensive trigger work on it, but it's fairly smooth now. I probably won't be buying any more.

 

[Pilgrim]

here's a few of mine

My nicest:

 

[Black_Sheep]

No fancy Rugers here, just a basic 6" GP-100 and a Mini-14 with a composite stock and an Aimpoint. The GP-100 action isn't smooth like a Smith&Wesson but it's an outstanding shooter...

 

[Burley]

Haven't seen a SR 9 posted yet, along with a Mark II stainless and a LCP.

 

[kmyers]

Is soon to be married to a completely beautiful and sweet woman who packs a Ruger SP101 .357...yes, I will behave! LOL. I have more sense than to get a passionate woman mad at me. Very nice revolver, Giz.

 

[Steave]

I wouldn't necessarily call myself a Ruger fan, but they do make several pieces I like, mainly their rimfires. The MK II is probably the best inexpensive .22 auto pistol going, in its current form, the MK III, it leaves a bit to be desired. The 10/22, for the price, is an excellent little plinker and with so many accessories can be made just that much better......or completely junked up. The 77/22 is great as well, although they often have headspace issues, thankfully this is usually an easy fix. Another nice feature about all of these is they make excellent hosts for integral suppressors, which probably makes Bill Ruger roll over in his grave, just an added bonus, as far as I am concerned. Of all the .22's I have, and I have a lot of them, probably my favorite shooter/plinker is an old 16" AWC integrally suppressed 77/22 with a 4X Burris mini-scope on top of it.

I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this...but...

Has anyone besides me though, had the urge to make a real boat anchor out of a Ruger?

If I ever see one cheap enough, I will.
