Truth be known, I own six Ruger products, everything from a 10-22 to a custom built Blackhawk converted to a five shot .480 Ruger revolver, and have owned many others in the past. Thing is that two safes are filled with guns, and while I would fancy buying a few other historical reproductions, prudence tells me I don't need them. The one thing about Ruger, their firearms seem to be trying to outlast me, so unless they come up with something really compelling, I'll not be buying anything new. Sometimes success is it's own competition.
