I have purchased two Ruger revolvers in the past year, a Super Redhawk in .480 Ruger, and a Super Blackhawk Bisley, also in .480. Both are well-made, accurate, and so far, trouble-free. That said, it is possible to get a 'lemon' with anything mechanical, which makes it no less annoying and upsetting when it happens.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
